It'd be sweet to have something I could power off of USB 2.0 or battery, with a hard drive and wireless (and maybe a serial port for jmk). Gumstick seems like it comes close - but no real solution for portable or piggy-back power. I suppose an iPaq might be able to be tasked to such a solution as well -- but has less than ideal disk storage. Neither has particularly glorious CPU power or memory -- maybe we can build something with the OLPC mother boards sans screen/keyboard. -eric
