A neat little PC:

which now appears to be available from:

Basically a complete system in a handheld form-factor. Yeah, the specs are pretty low, but the amazing thing about a dancing bear isn’t how well it dances…
Some of the design choices are questionable – is that REALLY a TransFlash slot?!? Yeah, TF and MicroSD are compatible, but WTF?
Supposedly it can run Linux, and it can even run OpenBSD!
If nothing else, it would make a nifty handheld serial terminal, when coupled with a USB-to-serial cable :-). Heck, it could even run Windows for that!
