Quad core will be nice. Yep, very cool. Know what would be keen? Put a Jtag connection to the outside case for experimenters to use, as well as any extra Digital or Analog IO not used by the genesi build out. You know a "hackers's ARM netbook" since we're chatting..... Do We get an embedded linux discount on these netbooks? What the timeframe to ship the quad core? I'm most likely to run kde on this pup.... So do you do "native compiles" or cross-compile everything new you add? James
