Linux-Based Cell Phone Netbook Dream Machine
,----[ Quote ]
| A real Linux computer offers up endless options. Suppose I don't want to pay
| for 3G service? No problem, ordinary wifi is fine, though a bit more trouble,
| and I can set up VoIP for free. Using any standard Linux distribution is the
| way to go; then you have access to the distro repositories and thousands of
| applications, and all of the flexibility and power of a real Linux, instead
| of a mangled, non-functional excuse of a Linux.
|
| I'm going to wait a little longer because I want that perfect trifecta:
| 3G-capable, long battery life, and low price tag, which to me means under
| $400. And maybe even one of these newfangled non-Intel CPUs that Windows
| won't work on, and probably never will. Not only because I don't care for
| Windows, but because they promise better efficiency, performance and low
| power consumption. And more choice in the marketplace.

| Something else that hasn't changed is vendor's annoying, no, make that
| pathological mania for secrecy. Another gadget you can get is one to read and
| decipher the trouble codes emitted by your vehicle's engine. There is just a
| tiny bit of built-in data storage in your vehicle, so if you don't capture
| the information quickly it's lost, which makes diagnosing a transient problem
| ever so much fun.
