The last time I looked, they weren't any cheaper than regular laptops, so I didn't think there really was a point to get one.

I haven't poked at one of these, but if it follows the trends of the past couple of years, it will be running a modified Linux kernel and have a JVM runtime engine to run local apps. I don't know if there's an SDK available, either: would this run Android apps or something else? Is this a competitor to Windows, OSX or Linux? Would these work for some of your clients as inexpensive, reliable workstations? What's (evil|good) Google up to with these things? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4vaV1rk39Gj8H=n8D-=kOKqXgbf_VEYR=ststnbcfj...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
