If your saying why limit yourself to wince, or even linux, I think you have a fair point. I'm saying I want to run linux on some cheap and portable software. What I should say is I want to run a free and accessible software (ie. Linux) on some cheap and portable hardware (ie. All these wince machines). I quite like the look of JOS, the Free Java OS. Perhaps on a highly portable/wearable machine it would make more sense than linux. I just keep saying linux because I'm familiar with it, not because I won't consider alternatives. Currently the best alternative would be second hand 486 pc104 gear, or the PLEB, which is being developed here in Australia. I do still like the Palm Pilot, but think it won't really do enough of the things I envisage, even with more memory and etended battery supply. -- Binary Bar - Australia's first free access internet bar/cafe/gallery. 243 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. 3pm - 1am http://www.binary.net.au/ -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
