You know, I was thinking this, too, as I was playing with a 3Com Ergo Audrey I recently picked up from eBay ($60). It has a 640x480 color touch-panel screen; really nice stereo speakers; microphone; USB ports; Compact Flash card slot; 32MB RAM, Ethernet; wireless keyboard; built-in email; date book, to-do-list and contacts that sync with Palm devices; a web browser; and lots of other goodies. It runs the QNX operating system [derivative of Linux], and some guys hacked it a few years ago to add an MP3 player, photo album/picture frame, web server, ability to mount NTFS shares; and a bunch of other stuff ... but most of the hacking died down around 2004. I'd really love to have Rev on the baby (no joke!) so I could come up with a nice, integrated experience (the hacks kind of destroy the highly-usable "internet appliance" gestalt). _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
