When you stand back and look at the overall scope of a project like this is it simply amazing... You take a completly physical device, and by making nanoscopic changes on one of the components you can make it into a interactive, and even sometimes useful device...]]>Jan 1st 2007 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/Jan 1st 2007 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/Jan 1st 2007 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/Jan 1st 2007 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/
a: the iPod is obviously too underpowered to play Doom 3.

This hack sounds interesting, but who has an M:Robe?]]>Jan 1st 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/Jan 1st 2007 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/olympus-m-robe-finally-finds-its-calling-running-linux/i have had one for about two years
and does nothing xcept look cool
on my desk... i have transferred some
10gb of songs into it (took me an year to do so)
and simply forgot it. it is too much trouble
to mess with it. olympus should be sued
for putting out a trashy scam like this one.
