Chumby Hacker Board from Adafruit Industries

Look at what a tiny ARM chip can do, A mini computer for just any new (big) idea you want to try. This carries more punch than a very powerful smartphone and just falls below netbooks or tablets. Something to power an Intelligent Home Automation Control Center, even a Home made CNC control. Get cracking even cranking, take your entire home online, just a browser to tell you what the machines and robots are upto

The Chumby Hacker Board is a cool single board Linux computer that has much of the same hardware as the famous Chumby One. Try out using for analog-to-digital conversion, PWM outputs, sensors by Hacking.

The Chumby Design can be seen here, it is usable as per the "The chumby HDK Agreement". Hardware: BIOS and schematics. Software: Linux-based, open-source platform.

These type of devices can also be made with Android, Chrome OS, Windows CE/Mobile and Adapted 98SE Too. Linux has set an example how an OS should be.

All OS manufacturers can provide a modular structure, so that a user can configure/adapt to his system; Big, Small and anything In-between.

It could be a small Robot, it could even be a Spaceship; Linux can do it !
