Touchbook - Netbook based on ARM

Came across this 'Touchbook' - a netbook based on ARM platform - recently.

So what, you might ask? Well, one - its OpenSource - based on OpenHardware and ofcourse, Opensource software. Hardware - specifically, the Beagleboard and software - Angstrom distro. More on this here.

The Touchbook has a plethora of features:

Dimensions: 9.4" X 7" X 1.4"
Weight: 2 lbs with keyboard
Storage: 8GB micro SD Card
Display: 1024 X 600; 8.9" Touchscreen
3D Accelerometer
Wifi 802.11 b/g/n
10 to 15 hrs of battery life
speakers, microphone and headphone slots
6 USB slots
Formfactor capable of using the device in multiple ways: as a laptop, handheld gaming device, video player etc.
Two modes of operation - one that uses keyboard and the other that uses the touchscreen.

More about the features - here.

In Me's opinion - this is one helluva device. Needless to say, one that Me'll target to buy in the recent future.

wget -P /path/to/alternate/dir something.ogg

I found out that one could use the -P option to download to an alternate location in wget. That's really neat. There's a python script sitting in the /srv/www/cgi-bin folder which downloads to a share in the openfiler here.

In the open source, we begin by putting all the blocks together! Think of something and its probably already there in the open source!
