The Droid Has Been Rooted â Now What?

,----[ Quote ]
| Verizonâs Motorola Droid is a brand-new phone 
| today. Like many smartphones before it, the 
| Droid has been rooted so that owners of the 
| Android 2.0-based smartphone can install 
| multitouch support (including pinch-to-zoom 
| gestures), enhanced themes and other previously 
| forbidden goodies.

Make a penguin do your bidding: a review of the Tux Droid

,----[ Quote ]
| Linus Torvalds, the creator of the open-source Linux kernel, was once mauled 
| by a very small penguin while on a trip in Australia. The experience had a 
| lasting impact on him and later inspired him to make a penguin the official 
| Linux mascot. Developer Larry Ewing created the first graphical rendering of 
| the Linux penguin, which countless Linux users around the world know today as 
| Tux.

| 
| The Tux Droid is a very well-designed toy, but its inherent usefulness and 
| practicality in any non-toy context is debatable. The Tux Droid's primary 
| practical features are support for providing passive notifications and 
| enabling remote control interaction with desktop applications.

Tux Droid - Talking Linux Penguin

,----[ Quote]
| Apparently, though, I am mistaken because that's exactly what is sitting in 
| front of me right now, and it's not just an effigy of the much-loved penguin, 
| but a wirelessly connected moving speaking robot or sorts. More curiously, 
| unlike most every piece of hardware on the planet, rather than having to hunt 
| for hours on end to find a Linux driver, you'll discover that that only Linux 
| users can use the Tux Droid as Windows drivers aren't available.
