If you want to run an amigalike os on laptops or custom formfactors, I think AROS is the choice.
AROS already runs on x86-laptops and mini-itx boards.
I presume that it also can run on small x86 industrial computers.
The only issue is ethernet and soundrivers, once AROS gets those.
But I think AROS will get those drivers before OS4/MorphOS runs on anything else than Amigaone/microA1/Pegasos.
You could even have AROS running inside a matchbox
http://matchbox.stanford.edu/cebit.htmlThere are all kinds of weirdo formfactors for x86 like DIMM-PC,PC104 and stuff.
I wonder if AROS would run on this
http://www.lillfab.se/boards/cpus/Adnp1486/ADNP1486.htmor maybe this
http://www.dilnetpc.com/dnp0032.htm586 133Mhz 64MByte SDRAM 16 MB FLASH 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
COM1/COM2 16550 Serial Ports on a 82mm * 28mm stick, too bad video is an addon.
How hard would it be to port AROS to StrongARM/Xscale?
There is many minimotherboards StrongARM and Linux these days. And powerconsumption is a bit lower on that than x86 :-)
An handheld with Xscale and AROS with UAE would be both a good PDA and handheldgame like GBA/GP32.
I already have a PocketPC-pda but I can´t stand that OS, so it´s just collecting dust.
Why can´t Sharp get around to launching the SL-6000
http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6804055064.html also see
http://www.sharpusa.com/products/FunctionPressReleaseSingle/0,1080,395-29,00.htmlso I can run UAE at a good PDA( and maybe AROS hosted under linux) 640x480 LCD and Xscale™ 400MHz 64MB SDRAM and 64MB FLASH and built-in wireless 802.11b, its a really highspec pda.
