[LHA-misc] 240x320 LCD

[John K. <jk...@pr...>]

Hello list,

Linux Devices has previewed Empower Technologies' PowerPlay III Linux PDA
on the following page:

http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT2451726847.html

As a PDA, you certainly get what you pay for (it's a bit underfeatured as
a PDA), but think of it as a wall mounted controller, and things get a
little more interesting (240x320 LCD, Linux derived OS, developer SDK
available).

A couple words of warning.  Their website claims 6-8 weeks for delivery
which I interpret to mean that they do not have stock on hand.

Second, according to the following message to linux-kernel, Empower is not
honoring linux's GPL license (no source), so there could be a licensing
fight in the not too distant future, particularly since they're now
soliciting sales.  No further mention in linux-kernel beyond that thread.

I've just pinged the linux-kernel list with a request for update.
