Cheap, Pocketable MID Runs Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| OK, SmartQ: how long have you been hiding this Mobile Internet Device from
| Engadget? The SmartQ 5 is all touch-screen with 4.3-inches of 800×480
| resolution to tap. Although I’m more enamored by higher resolutions than
| this, it’s not bad for a handheld device. It could be a chore for viewing web
| pages though, so I suspect ample usage of the zoom function would be used in
| the browser. Hey, at $132 for an ARM-based MID running Linux with a usable
| browser, I’d be willing to gamble if I could get one from China.

"The government is not trying to destroy Microsoft, it’s simply seeking to
compel Microsoft to obey the law. It’s quite revealing that Mr. Gates equates
the two."
