Via CEO Wenchi Chen revealed a business card-sized motherboard billed as the "world's first industry-standard form-factor for PC/phone convergence," at Computex today. The "mobile-ITX" board measures 3 x 1.8 inches -- half the size of Via's "pico-ITX" form-factor -- and runs Windows XP Embedded or Linux. ---8<---- http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS6249674338.html |

This seems like the very thing the PocketPenguin developers could possibly run with and create the ultimate Zaurus Killer. Via is definitely making things easier for the do-it-yourselfers to create compact and powerful devices.
