"Fashion accessory" PMP camera runs Linux
A style-conscious Samsung digital camera and personal media player (PMP) is built on a MontaVista Linux platform, it was revealed by a reader. Shipping since last year, the Samsung i70 features 7.2-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, and Samsung's ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) technology.
On a Samsung open source download page, Samsung lists the following pedigree for the i70: u-boot, ffmepg, and Montavista Linux Kernel 2.4.20. The remainder of the page refers to the camera's GNU GPL license. The page does not actually include a download link, however, suggesting that Samsung may no longer be distributing the device, which appears to remain available from many distributors.
