Labs for devices such as set top boxes and telephones,
has been ported to Compaq’s iPaq handheld computer.
The port of the operating system–which can also be run
as an application on platforms including Windows, Linux
and Solaris — will be demonstrated at the Usenix Annual
Technical Conference 2001 in Boston, Massachusetts,
on Thursday and Friday. The port includes wireless
networking, a virtual machine, a Web browser with HTML
3.2, JavaScript 1.1, and a full development environment,
running on less than 3MB of Flash memory.”
