OK, speaking of hackable ARM-based Linux devices, there's a nifty thing on the shelves at Best Buy, of all places: http://www.slashgear.com/insignia-infocast-chumby-powered-display-gets-hack-instructions-2290927/
It's a Chumby* with an 8" screen, available from a local retailer. So you get something that will play net-radio, act as a jukebox (2GB uSD storage, or use your media server), show weather/news/RSS/Twitter, run free Chumby apps, or whatever apps you feel like coding for it, and when you get tired of all that, it'll act like an Internet-enabled photo-frame. If it breaks, you take it back to your local Best Buy. Or you just hack it using the built-in hacker features and expansion ports Bunnie designed into it. I can't wait to SSH into my photo-frame. * Chumby is a built-to-be-hacked Linux device designed by Bunnie Huang. Like the iPhone and Android, people make apps for it, but it's been around for half a year longer than the iPhone. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
