Hi, visited www.chumby.com and your chumby is liliput version of Nokia tablet, with really small screen, nothing said about its resolution and what makes it not a hot gizmo is this " Because it's always on, the chumby must be plugged in to an AC outlet. " Robert is right. Nokia tablet is much better product for his project. Even old Nokia 770 is still mobile Internet station wifi-enabled with 640x480 touchscreen resolution.
Robert, please tell me more about your project to let me know how could I help you.

A Chumby - $170 would be a much cheaper base to start from. www.chumby.com It is fully open source and has the touchscreen and USB ports > > Obviously, many of the above functions have already been taken care of as > gtk widgets. > > Please excuse my ignorance but..does this sound like something appropriate > for maemo? the website talks about maemo for mobile linux based devices but > not really sure where to start on building a custom distro for my hardware? > Are there any tutorials for building maemo foundation for non-nokia devices? > > Robert > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers > > -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
