Great Gadget Smack-Down Round 4 — Smack-Down!

Dec 20, 2005 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views

This is it, Round Four of the Great Gadget Smack-Down! The table below summarizes specific, finished-product devices in nine categories. Each device is featured at LinuxDevices.com or WindowsForDevices.com, two sister sites that maintain and frequently update Device… Showcases of embedded design wins.

Keep in mind that these Showcases represent only the tip of the iceberg, since there's no way we could cover every one of the thousands of embedded devices out there. However, if you notice a device missing that you think we should cover, please let us know about it, and we'll do our best, provided the company is willing to share some details of their implementation.


Ding, ding . . . !
