AllLinuxDevices: Gateway unveils touch screen web pad

“…Called the Gateway Connected Touch Pad, it is a web
access appliance that is closely linked to America Online’s (AOL’s)
internet service. Users interact with the system using either a
stylus, the touch screen or a wireless keyboard, to gain access to
a range of services such as AOL email, instant messaging and web
channels.

“The device, which is based on Transmeta’s Crusoe processor and
the Mobile Linux operating system, features home networking
technology from Broadcom that allows the device to connect at
broadband speeds to other equipment around the home using
traditional phone lines.”

“…Touch Pad can also hold centralised digital music files that
can be accessed from other devices around the home using Broadcom’s
networking technology.”
