Hmm. USB client? Why can't one of those ARM chipsets include a USB master controller? That would make up for the relative scarcity of peripherals. A 200MHz XScale would probably be fast enough to do Ogg Vorbis decompression, but without an ethernet interface or an audio codec, it's kind of a pointless exercise.

Nevertheless, a very interesting control gadget.. may have to pick one up to play with.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
