“A South Korean start-up, Gmate, has unveiled a Palm-size device
that runs the open-source Linux operating system. The unit, called
Yopy, made its debut at the CeBIT show here and is expected to ship
by midyear in both Korean and English-language versions, says Lee
Sang-Don, Gmate’s general manager of marketing and sales….”
“Featuring a 4-inch full-color display, the diminutive
device will come fully loaded with an embedded Web browser and
e-mail client. It will also have personal productivity
applications and software for playing back MP3 music or MPEG video
files.”
“Its pen-based graphical user interface was developed by Gmate’s
developer team, and the company also plans to offer a GIMP toolkit
for developers who want to build applications for the device,
according to information from the company.”
