Pogoplug: A wolf in sheep's clothing
,----[ Quote ]
| Allow me to explain: Hidden inside the
| Pogoplug is a 1.2GHz Marvell ARM SOC RISC
| processor and 256MB of RAM and 512MB of
| internal flash storage. On this neat little
| package runs a stripped-down Linux distro
| with the 2.6.22.18 kernel.
|
| Here's what the Pogoplug does: You power up
| the device, plug in an Ethernet cable,
| connect a nerd stick or a USB HDD drive
| (USB or externally-powered) and then browse
| to my.pogoplug.com where you create an
| account giving your e-mail address and
| selecting a password.

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.
