<G> Dee, you must be spoiled, eh? ;-) Those specs are more than adequate
(better than the Gumstix embedded linux system I'm playing, in fact) and
comparable to my palm pilot. You can get a full X system runing in 16MB, so
you'd just need some lightweight apps for the media stuff, and that's already
been done on PDAs. Look for densities in the RS-MMC stuff to steadily
increase in the next few years, too.

I'd buy one if the price was right.
