Cool embedded device

I was just saying that the SPOT stamp price would have to come down to be competitive.  As if to underscore that idea, look at what you can get for $100.  And that's a PXA255 with flash!  Heck for $120 you get bluetooth.  WEDIG is starting a project called GumSTIX to run CE on it.  This is way cool.

Chris,

Glad you agree -- this is indeed way cool. Stay tuned to the board, as I plan to update it with our current status as we get moving in this project.

A minor note -- the project is actually called project "DrumStix", since one of our board members kept using that term when he meant to say "gumstix". It's funny, though, because it seems that everyone (including me!) keeps jumping between calling it "Project DrumStix" and "Project GumStix". It might be one of those "neurolinguistic bugs" that the human brain cannot keep straight. (Now if we could just hook up the Visual Studio debugger to the human brain....) LOL.

Best,
Paul
