Hi
No, why, isn't an ARM processor good enough? As I said with a 2 Gb stick in one of the two USB ports, it's quite responsive in loading apps but I haven't installed any speech on it. I should that but as I said it's been found permanent tasks, so won't be messed about with.
Thanks, for the louder Linux info. I didn't know about that one.
Regards
Gena

Hi,
I've been hoping for an affordable portable Linux system for some
time, especially if it has wireless networking and ethernet. I hate
lugging a laptop; the dead weight of a screen is especially irksome.
PDAs with speech are overpriced. Most seem to run Windows, with one
exception (the Pappenmeier device).
There's a group of people who are trying to turn a Linksys router into
a talking portable. See www.louderlinux.net. I wish them luck.
Does your "slug" device use an x86 processor? That would make it
especially attractive.
