Chumby One
,----[ Quote ]
| There are a few additions to the Chumby One,
| including an FM tuner, a much-needed volume
| knob, 2GB of internal storage, a slightly
| faster ARM-based CPU, and an optional lithium-
| ion battery (to keep the Chumby running even
| when the power is out). What went away? The
| second USB port (the Chumby One features just
| one powered USB port, suitable for charging
| devices) and the stereo speakers (the One is
| mono-only). The integrated accelerometer,
| touch screen, stereo audio jack, and snooze
| button remain the same.

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.
