2006/6/5, Ilya Konstantinov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Beni, if you're already looking for storage-less devices[1], why not
check out the cheaper PDAs?
[1] If you were hoping for cheap storage as well, the iPod Video, along
with iPodLinux or Rockbox, sounds like a promising idea. The iPod comes
with lots of hardware for the buck (30GB HDD, hardware H.264 decoder
capable of >30fps, 2.5" display) but it's not really hacker-friendly,
though it's being rapidly reverse-engineered.
I want it hacker-friendly or not at all. Some devices have been
reverse-engineered with impressive results but it's not the way I want
the world to be.
The Neuros device I mentioned made the mistake of using an
undocumented (needs NDA) DSP to accellerate video, so I probably won't
buy it either. (They promised to choose better in their next design,
realizing openness is their most importatnt edge now.)
