Welcome to IWETHEY!

New His call
He has laptops.
He has difficulty carrying them.
He wanted a small "embedded" system with a DVD size screen originally, that ran Linux, which we thought about, but it seemed the DVD option was workable.

Until I started really thinking about it, of course.
New What about a Nokia 770?
New Looks perfect - thanks
New That looks like a neat box. Thanks for the pointer.
New Why not a PSP?

New Nokia has higher res, more accessible Linux
800x480 vs 480x272
But PSP battery life might be better, and it's definitely better for games. Nokia has WiFi. There are other pluses and minuses.

You could probably also use Nintendo GBA Advance, SP, or DS, but the screen is even smaller.

Of course, the real reason to choose the Nokia is that [link|http://pymaemo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/"|it runs Python]

New But the Nokia has problems with
USB transfer speed, very slow as some have very broken USB implementations.

E60s(60, 61...), E70s and other models, feature a small URB problem. The Linux Kernel in general is seeing this as a faulty device or packet, sends a CSW due to flakey URBs being malformed. This in turn causes a resend, slowing it even further.

I like the fact it runs Python.

New E60 runs Symbian, 770 runs Linux
[link|http://forum.nokia.com/devices/E60|E60 is a S60 series cellphone ] running Symbian 9.1, Nokia 770 is a tablet running a form of Linux, so it's likely the USB transfer problems don't apply. Besides, the 770 has WiFi.

If the 770 battery life were better (6-8 hours instead of 3) and the price the same (about $350), I'd get one myself.

New Didn't know that... Thanks.
