It is not exactly portable, but I love our Infocast Insignia (aka Chumby) 8". Using http://www.instructables.com/id/Cheap-touchpad/, I made sort of an ipad clone and it runs Linux!! I control all the home automation from it and it is great for accessing our intranet based web server from the kitchen to access recipes and other stuff (http://www.instructables.com/id/Uses-fo ... ate-cloud/). Becoming addicted to php and mysql. May get a second one for a low powered server like I used to do with the Cisco Linksys Nslu2. Can not wait to see how well it works with mythwebtv. Need to build a new server first. 64bit here we come.

Eddie! This is super sweet! Thanks for sharing the links and your experiences.

Thanx for the kudos!! The touchpads are the new thin clients. Happy to share what little I know. My brother wanted to me get a color nook and do a rooting Instructable about it, but I could not see spending up to $250 on something that could be obsolete very soon.

Developing my own web app to download and or just display pdf files. remotely. Great for kiosk access also.
