"(...) after a few prototypes, he’s come up with rather a well-executed take on the ’90s object of desire. Taking an ARM microcontroller board and a commodity resistive touchscreen, he’s clad them in a 3D-printed PDA case and produced his own software stack. He’s not prepared to release it just yet as he’s ashamed of some of its internal messiness, but lets hope that changes with time."

Yes, I remember watching the various versions of N-O-D-E....

Fun to see how it evolved....the last version is a bit chunky.....although it has plenty of ports and good venting....  

What do you think about another variant, the Noodle Pi ?
