Sony's PocketStation will allow users to download games from the PlayStation for play anywhere. PocketStation is based on an Atmel low-power single-chip system that includes an ARM processor, flash memory, RAM, an LCD controller, digital-to-analog converters for audio, and infrared communications capability....<<

On PS2 / Linux. Did any of the recent IPOs for LINUX talk about plans to support PS2? Great point that this will be the low cost PC for sure, with MSFT not being able to rake off their pound of flesh.

Also a cheap way for many of us to have a LINUX system without buying yet another PC. Gosh, these PCs sure are getting boring, aren't they?
