Pepper
I’m off visiting the good folks at Pepper today. I’ll update this post with photos as soon as they’re available, then look for a pair of posts about how the hardware/software works and what I’d like to do with it later.
Until then, here are some related posts: Ultra Portable Computing, Pepper Pad 2, and Portable Computing.
