Hello all, The company I work for is planning a handheld device with a touch display (320x200 pixel), WLAN and UPnP functionality to control other devices in a wireless Wifi network. Now my electronic work experience in the embedded domain seems to be a little outdated so I would kindly like to ask if somebody has tip what architecture is common and up to date now. Also a hint about displays and evaluations kits is highly appreciated Best Regards Spobrockel

It runs Linux, so I assume you could write your own programs for it. List price $400.00, street price about $360.00. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html

Just be aware of the possible risks of basing a product on another one that can be withdrawn from the market at any time. At a previous employer, Palm Pilots were used for user interface to an industrial controller, mounted in a custom frame on the front of the machine. The design had to be changed again and again, as different Pilot models came into and out of being. And "Ah, honey, they also dropped the serial port this time.">It runs Linux, so I >assume you could write your own programs for it.See http://maemo.org/, https://garage.maemo.org/ Roberto Waltman [ Please reply to the group, return address is invalid ]
