intresting things have been happening latley with freescale, in 30 days (i i remeber correctly) they get sold to new owners, what this means i dont really know as i havent looked at the proposed plans if any are even avalible
anyway there was a new product on the market that was simmilar to what i had in mind in terms of casing, its a pxa270 chip (xscale) but it has wifi, bluetooth, keyboard and more. some notable features (read must have) are: ethernet 128MB of ram 8 hour batter life 20GB drive USB host (most likly full speed) remeber i am mainly designing this as a portable office and have recently been eyeing the flybook and lifebook after seeing them in person however this device seems to fill 90% of what i was planning to chuck in there, the only things missing seem to be video out and a video card anyway links: http://www.slashgear.com/more-details-on-t...reen-201720.php http://www.seamlessinternet.com/s-xgen/specs.html http://www.slashgear.com/s-xgen-umpc-field...oard-141644.php |

very close indeed.
If the PP is like this with vga, linux and video out, it will be amazing-- and hopefully a little smaller? or, if the screen gets improved are you suiggesting that we port linux to it? As it is, i wouldn't trade my Z in for it, though it is pretty cool |
