In fact, even bigger than this phone is the stack its running known as CLP or the Convergent Linux Platform. The company backing this stack says that with this stack the time required to bring an Android device to market could be halved.
The video is of one of our other staffers getting his hands on the device, but I also got some hands on time, and I have to say, that for an open source phone, it’s not too bad. It is a little sluggish, and the menu’s can be confusing since they are all picture based [...]
After the surprise withdrawal of Intel from the OLPC board (taking their money, technical support, potential chip supply and order-poaching salespeople home with them), news comes from the Negroponte camp that they’ve been working on adding dual-boot Linux and Windows XP to the laptop.
Clarion’s high-end in-car entertainment systems have been edging onto ultraportable PC territory for a while now, and they’ve finally made the jump into bed with Intel and launched a Mobile Internet Device (MID) at CES 2008. The Clarion MiND (Mobile Internet Navigation Device) is an ideal example of the chip manufacturer’s digital companion vision: based [...]
Alright, I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of this company, they also go by WNC, and they had a Linux phone that I was really impressed with. First, it has Linux, version 2.6, which means its open, then it has WiFi, a touch-screen, Bluetooth, a 2MP camera (which is the only mediocre thing about this phone), [...]
HP has announced a pair of new Media Vault Linux-based backup servers for home use. I wonder why they aren’t rocking the Windows Home Server?
So, E-Lead will apparently be showing off a new UMPC that looks (not-so-) surprisingly like the Eee PC that everyone has fallen in love with. The main differences are the lack of flash memory, a different distro of Linux, and some sort of weird input interface.
Other than it being a Microsoft project, it screws with the files you save on the server if you modify and then save them while they are on the server. They are, however, working on a bug fix and apparently whole home server team is working through the holidays to fix it.
With a 7” screen, its own version of Linux, 1GB of flash storage, a 900MHz processor and 256MB of RAM it has landed in Vietnam for the low, low price of $250, if you are a student. The screen has an 800×480 resolution and the system has a 400MHz bus, I also left out [...]
We have seen our fair share of devices that connect the various flash mediums (CompactFlash and SD being the most popular) to system drive ports such as SATA, IDE, or laptop IDE allowing you to use those card types as system disk drives. This isn’t much different, and whether you are doing it to free [...]
