This probably isn't what you are looking for, but your email reminded me of something. I had heard of a portable, handheld, gaming device that ran Linux that was made in Korea around a year ago. They were coming out with a new version in a few months, but I forgot about it until now. I was meaning to buy one (and I just did right now... I can't wait!) but it slipped my mind. The LCD on my iPAQ just broke (note to self: hard shelled case next time...) and I was looking for something else to play the odd game and song on. At the same time, I wanted something I could hack around with (I used to do graphics demos as a kid,) and this device looks like it will satisfy my needs. The link for those who are interested: http://gp2x.co.uk/aboutgp2x.html It does have a development kit, but I don't know what it entails yet, nor do I think this was what you were looking for. I guess I'll see in a few days its worth the $270 or not :-) -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
