Ben NanoNote Aims To Bring Open Source Tenets to Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Is there a market out there for completely
| open source computers, where even the
| design of the hardware components is
| shared in community fashion? That's the
| question that Qi Hardware's Ben NanoNote
| laptop is trying to answer. According to
| Linux News, you can now order the systems
| for $99. Linux is on board, and all
| aspects of the hardware design are open
| and free for tinkerers to modify.

| That will get you a bare bones device that can
| simply be used as a Linux-based "handheld
| laptop" out of the box or, as the company
| hopes, be turned into anything from a PMP to
| an offline Wikipedia device. Something along
| those lines would seem to be the most
| practical, considering the device only has a
| 3-inch 320 x 240 display, along with some
| similarly basic specs including a 336 MHz
| XBurst Jz4720 CPU, 32MB of RAM, 2GB of flash
| storage, and a microSD card slot for
| expansion. Head on past the break for a look
| under the lid.
