What makes this a real "sleeper"? This is a 400-MHz MIPS that you might soon see at "Justice" and "Limited Too" stores for "tweens," or most anywhere if Sakar puts it in all the places where it sells cameras and MP3s. Could become the most widely available computers if Sakar does this, a real breakthrough. Just think of it -- a cheap computer you can buy anywhere.

  1. What about Adobe Flash on these devices?

  2. Current version of the Bestlink (Belco) Alpha 400 has a Xip flash player.

    Presumably Xip is also the company that ported Linux to the MIPS processor they are using.

    For specs, please see: http://www.bestlinkeshop.com/index.php?sp=&p=6&cat2=8&cat1=6&cat0=5&id=11&cat1=6&cat0=5&new=&s=2f82342c77565b696ec7bc40d1eac41d&lang=en
