“In 2009, mobile consumer devices including netbooks, e-readers,
tablets, MIDs, PMPs, and mobile phones were increasingly dominated
by embedded Linux or the Linux-based Android. LinuxDevices presents
four updated showcases of story summaries for netbooks, phones, and
other portable devices, recalls 2009 highlights ranging from the
Kindle to the Droid, and looks in on new rumors about the Google
Nexus One and Chrome OS netbook design.

“For almost a decade, LinuxDevices has presented its
LinuxDevices Showcase guides, offering handy summaries of our
stories that introduce new devices that use embedded Linux.
Organized by category of device in reverse chronological order, the
guides include mobile phones, netbooks, MIDs, PDAs, audio and video
gear, networking equipment, robots, and much more.

“We have recently updated four Showcase guides covering some of
the hottest four categories in embedded Linux:

“* Linux Mobile Phones
* Linux Handhelds (PDAs, PMPs, PNDs, etc.)
* Linux MIDs, UMPCs, E-readers and Tablets
* Linux Netbooks”
