A Review: Ben NanoNote Gets Small with Embedded Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Qi Hardware was founded in 2009 by several
| former developers and engineers from the
| Openmoko project, which initially set out
| to build a completely-free Linux-based
| mobile phone, but has since turned its
| attention to other projects. Qi's business
| model and product roadmap is decidedly more
| incremental than Openmoko's, perhaps
| reflecting lessons learned from the
| previous company. Qi is self-funded; the
| plan is to use proceeds of Ben sales to
| fund the development on the next NanoNote
| revision as well as other projects.

Marvell Moby Tablet - the Linux factor
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs going to be running Linux. Now I love
| Linux. I use it for my web servers, all of
| my thin clients have a light Linux OS, and
| whenever I can get someone to give it a
| shot on their own computers, I hand them a
| live CD. Ubuntu will be the only way that
| these little tablets will be able to run on
| the Marvell chipset and the only way to hit
| that $99 pricepoint (or, for that matter, a
| sub-$200 pricepoint). The Flash
| implementation that Rachel King reported
| rules out Windows 7 Mobile as well.
|
| So Linux it is (and I say Ubuntu because
| that has been well-developed for embedded
| applications and runs the Tonido Plug quite
| handily). The problem with Linux is two-
| fold: 1) Most people donât like it as much
| as I do and teachers will be put off by
| âsomething different.â 2) Development
| efforts in interactive ebooks are favoring
| the iPad and Microsoft slates, not Linux-
| based devices.
|
| While most folks donât realize that their
| Kindles and other e-readers are running
| Linux, they expect these devices to be
| âdifferent.â Over and over, though, Iâve
| encountered users who expect a computer-
| like device to either look like Windows or
| look like OS X.
