How to turn an old PDA into a semi-portable, somewhat-usable PC

hpc ru

What do you get when you combine an old Toshiba e400 PDA with a USB hub, a keyboard, an old cellphone and whatever other hardware you have lying around? From the looks of it, Sergey Suvorov at hpc.ru got an Internet-enabled, media-capable, keyboard-driven PDA (at least that's what we gleaned from Babelfish's translation). Sure, as Sergey points out, it's not going to replace your laptop (or "noutbuku," as Babelfish puts it). But if you've got the gear lying around, it beats tossing it in a landfill.
