Two epic pieces of hardware have come to my attention this week...one of them is a complete shoe-in for this blog being open source, the other appeals to my love of ruggedised hardware (due to my innate clumsiness and ability to break pretty much anything...)
First on the list is courtesy of Firebox - video available on that link. An IR or Wirless controlled (slightly cross looking) Tux to roam your desktop reading our news feeds etc has to be a winner in anyone's book. |  |
 | Second is this Sonim XP1 ruggedised mobile, available in black, grey or this rather fetching yellow. Its a bit feature poor - no mp3, no camera, no java, and a bit expensive (around £210.00 unlocked), but it is very rugged. It also comes in JCB flavour.
It kind of coordinates with the Tux-bot as well, which is nice... |
