Looking for Linux gadgets

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So I'm trying to find out about as many different Linux-based and Linux-compatible gadgets as I can. That could either be a device like a smartphone or a PDA that uses Linux as its operating system, or a peripheral like a webcam or MP3 player that is compatible with a computer running Linux, right out of the box. (Ie the Linux drivers should be available on the install CD or from the manufacturer.)

If anyone knows any such cool gadgets, could you post links here? Same goes for resources...websites, blogs, whatever.

slashdot.org 8) (especially linux.slashdot.org)

over the years there've been hundreds of articles where people have got linux running on everything from cash registers to watches. which isn't quite what you want but... the Sharp Zaurus is probably the best known PDA: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/24/2323218&tid=184&tid=106

a lot of things like digital cameras just appear to linux as 'USB storage devices' and don't need drivers as such.

Thanks Koogs, the second one was very helpful.

Just found out that Sharp has discontinued the Zaurus in North America....oh well. There are a few other smartphone/PDAs either out or coming, from the looks of it... Thanks!
