A Linux Machine For Your Collar 318
MadSaxon writes "gumstix.org has a brief but titillating description of a very small Linux machine based on the PXA255: 20 x 80 mm, '64MB SDRAM, 4MB Flash, MMC/SD/SDIO slot, and power management. It takes 3.6V - 5.0V power, and has been drawing under 200 mA.' It weighs less than 12g sans battery, and 'can fit in a collar undetected.' Is collar-top computing the Next Big Thing?"

I think people should start working on smaller, more convenient interfaces rather than smaller computers, because we have some pretty ridiculously small computers out already.

On the other hand maybe while we are out and about away from our LAN we should talk with the person next to use instead of on the other end of a cell phone call, read a good book instead of surfing blogs and listen to the wind in the trees instead of the latest MP3 we downloaded.
Now I guess I will crawl into my shack, work on my manifesto and prepare some "packages".
