HOW TO – Portable CE 2.0
The idea is simple: Using the Windows CE emulator, I could have my entire “internet communications system” on a virtual machine that I carried around with my on my USB keychain. I could essentally plug it into the USB port of any machine running Windows, and bring up the emulator and use Internet Explorer, Messenger, Inbox, etc. Version 2.0 is now based off the new ARM based Device Emulator which can run native Pocket PC binaries. Yes, you read that correctly – with this version, you will be able to run most Pocket PC apps from emulation. Link.
Great HOW TO from Jake “I was intrigued by the idea of having all my own bookmarks, my own desktop/icon artwork and themes and preferences, all my own programs and data instantly available to me on any computer on campus. The computer essentially becomes a temporary host for my personal operating system — which I carry in my pocket. SLAX seemed to be the best balance of customization, function, and ease of use…This is a howto on installing SLAX on an iPod nano. It may seem long, but I tried not to gloss over or leave out any details”. 
Wow, I need to try this – Everything you modify, create or download during a Live-CD session is kept in memory until the computer is rebooted; then it’s all lost. More precisely, it WAS lost until SLAX came out and the new era of portability began… Don’t carry your settings along with you anymore, just remember a secret pass phrase! 
Handy…script which runs once a day to get the links for my link blog. It now crawls each link and sends an email to a Gmail account with the From field being the page URI, the Subject being the tags, and the body being a copy of the page. In addition to searching the page text, I can filter by tags by using an advanced search (e.g., subject:python). Now I love del.icio.us and Gmail more than before. 
Looks like it might be running something other than Windows too – Radio shack is getting in a shoebox sized computer for surfing the web. It appears to be DC powered, has built in Ethernet, modem, VGA, and USB ports. This might make a good car computer if it is truly DC powered! [
Nice to see articles like this from the NYTimes…Many new multimedia notebooks include built-in television tuner cards and software that let them double as digital video recorders. But you don’t have to buy a whole new laptop just to record your favorite shows… Not bad for $90.
