$100 would also get you Qi Hardware's Nanonote units, which is comparable to a Raspberry Pi + monitor + keyboard that you can actually carry in your pocket and use on the go (comes with a Li-ion battery, runs for ~9 hours in my experience). I have one. I like it. I use it mainly as a smart music-player; I've also written and run some Python and Scheme programs on it (so, it makes a nice `programmer's calculator' for, e.g.: solving recursive problems). Not sure what others do with theirs. A couple of friends also have them, and it seems to take about 3 days between ordering from Sharism in Hong Kong and having them arrive on our doorsteps in the US. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." > On 8 February 2012 14:29, Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE) > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >>On 02/07/2012 10:13 AM, Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE) wrote: > >>>> Subject: Microtouch > >>>> > >>>> Just spotted on: http://blog.p2pfoundation.net > >>>> > >>>> Microtouch - The ultimate AVR-based iPhone killer! > >>>> http://www.ladyada.net/products/microtouch/ > >>>> > >>> <SNIP> > >>> > >>> Does anyone know how old this is?
