[OT] Offer Gateway Connected Media Player

2008-05-12 Thread Dan Jenkins 
Does anyone have any interest in a Gateway Connected Media Player 
(CMP1)? It is a web-based, SMB-based music player. No storage itself; it 
uses a SMB share. A friend gave it to me. I think the Analog Audio Out 
might not work, but the Digital Out has never been used. The web server, 
etc., still works. He was replacing his equipment, so he didn't try to 
debug it at all.

Re: Palm vs other smart phones/PDAs

This is why I ditched the smartphone idea and went to tablet+phone.   
I wish the device I want existed now, but it's not ready yet.

I just today got the Garnet (PalmOS 5) VM on the Nokia syncing with  
my desktop:

the-garnet-vm-on-nokia-n810

which means I can retire the Treo, so I bought a Motorola e815 off  
eBay today to connect it while in the wilds.

So, I'll have OpenSSH instead of pssh, EVDO instead of 1xRTT, Mozilla/ 
Flash instead of Blazer, apt-get instead of HotSync, a fatter-finger  
keyboard, and, um, multitasking. :)  The downside is one extra pocket  
full of tech.

The iPhone gets so many things right but Apple is hostile towards  
Open Source apps on the iPhone with their SDK license, and a debian- 
ish ecosystem can't thrive under it.  Nokia, on the other hand, is  
the new owner of Qt and KDE and is porting Ubuntu to its hardware.   
Hopefully they'll have a great smartphone with all of the above and  
an HD camcorder in a year or two.
