A short while ago, I read about a "GB32", which is a very exciting gaming console which competes with the GameBoy. The Game Boy is something like 14MHz (some RISC-type CPU), the GB32 is something like a 150MHz ARM. It has a bunch of ports on it, as well as a high resolution LCD. The hardware is "open", and it's supposed to be cheap (supposedly it's sold 150,000 in Korea so far, just wait until it hits the US...) It's fast enough to emulate all other handheld consoles to date, and has a USB port (keyboard, mouse?), as well as a port for as large of an SMC you can buy. So I don't think there would be TOO much of a problem getting a linux distro on it... it's all very exciting. However, I've never cross-compiled (I intend to learn, though), so I'm just guessing it's do-able. You guys tell me =) I think it might also attract many people to zynot. Think of the possibilities! They might even market the thing with a Zynot sticker on it =) http://www.gbax.com/gp32review.html --Daijoubu _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
