The most interesting thing about PLoP Boot Manager is that it can do usb boot on machines without support for usb boot in their bios. Yes, you read that correctly - even old machines can now do usb boots. How? Well, you can boot PLoP from a cd or the internal hard drive, and then you boot a usb connected hard drive (or memory stick) from PLoP. Very impressive.

The PicoLCD is an interesting device. Display, keys and IR receiver. It plugs into a usb port (ok, it is only full speed, but anyway) and there is Linux drivers and opensource SDK. I think they are supporting LCDproc so this will work with most opensource systems. More info here.

Contiki version 2.2.1 has been released. Contiki is an operating system designed for wireless deeply embedded systems that have memory on the order of a few kilobytes and a power consumption on the order of a few milliwatt. Within these severe resource constraints, Contiki provides a low-power multi-hop TCP/IP stack, a command-line interface, a flash-based file system, and loadable modules. Release 2.2.1 improves network performance, reduces power consumption, and fixes a number of bugs from previous releases.
