Envizions Announces 3-D Online Community for Linux Game Console
,----[ Quote ]
| I have a confession: When I read press releases about Envizions' EVO Smart
| Console I am unsure if the company is run by self-assured, confident
| visionaries or if -- well, the situation is actually quite the opposite. I
| like (love?) the idea of an open source, Linux-powered gaming console. I like
| the potential it holds, the almost limitless features it could deliver, the
| creativity it could inspire.

Hard Plastic Books That Talk
,----[ Quote ]
| Although in many ways the less than $10 “Talking Books” lack features of the
| OLPC laptops, they also offer some advantages over their big brothers. The
| first is obviously in cost. Second, the audio-only interaction enables
| education where illiteracy often is a stumbling block. Paired with freely
| available audio recordings and the ability to record and share additional
| content, the Talking Books will be able to reach people that even the OLPC
| Project left behind.

Embedded Linux research report ships
,----[ Quote ]
| EDC noted that some 40 percent of the survey's 500 respondents were targeting
| embedded Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| Also in the earlier reports, Andrews observed that the need for RTOS source
| code was "one of the reasons that proprietary RTOSes created in-house for a
| specific system have long been popular, and now it's a primary motivating
| factor in the adoption of Embedded Linux."
|
| The now completed survey results are said to include "expert analysis" from
| Ann Thryft, a 20-year industry veteran. The report includes chapters on
| platforms, processors, tools, languages, security, target devices, mobile
| development, and of course, Linux.
