Hello Hamsphere-ites!!
Just thought I'd share a new "Little" device I just got. I'm going to use this just for Hamsphere so I'll free up my computer for other things.
This is a cool little device. It's called Fit-PC.

Here's mine. The battery is just there to show the size in comparison.


It runs on Unbutu operating system and is just as fast as my PC with Win 7.
Here's the back of it with the monitor port, 2 USB ports, speaker and Mic ports as well as the dual Ethernet connections.


I also use this tiny 1Gb flash memory from HP.



This unit makes no noise whatsoever.... its hard to believe such a little thing can do so much. Very cool device. If you ever come across one, grab it. It makes for a cool little back-up PC. You can run Win XP on it too.


My Desk with Hamsphere QRP!!!


Specifications:
CPU: AMD Geode LX800
Memory: 256MB DDR
60GB HDD
VGA Display up to 1920 X 1440
Dual Ethernet 100Mbps
Comes pre-loaded with Unbutu Linux

It seem interesting, maybe in the USA the prices are cheaper, but at the price listing I've found at the italian reseller, it seem too high to me
the cheapest one, a disk-less model, it cost 300€, when for 250€ I could buy a NetBook...
ok, is not the same thing :), but with the Netbook I get (and I pay) also an Hard Disk, a Display and a Microsoft license
I know is small and fan-less, maybe I have not too fantasy :) but I can imagine a reason to pay more to have less...
Anyway, to be honest, more likely my opinion is distorted by my growing wish to buy me a Linux Netbook... who knows.. ;)
