Title: Viliv P2 Pmp To Run Linux
Post by: Cagilaba on June 27, 2006, 04:06:48 pm

Anyone come across this yet? A Korean product. Looks interesting, though I don't think it's in production yet (to be released August 06 in Europe and USA??). It's supposed to run Linux or Windows CE.

If you just want a straight linux-based PMP, the Titan Omni is supposedly currently available.

# 4.3-inch "HD quality" LCD
# 30GB hard drive
# Bluetooth wireless
# USB 2.0 interface
# Lithium ion battery offering 8 hours of video or 15 hours audio playback
# Weight -- 15.2 ounces (260 gm)
# Audio/video I/O supports MPEG4, DivX, XviD, WMA, MP3, OGG

I wonder if Sharp will ever figure out that by adding video out and a graphics co-processor that they could extend the market for the Z's.
