When we first started discussing LiveSupport about two years ago, one of
the things we were dreaming about was a portable media player that could
handle LS. At the time we were looking at some of Archos' projects, and I
even wrote Archos asking them for a test box we could try out.
Today I read on Slashdot that Neuros is working on a new portable media
player/recorder, and is soliciting input from the open source community:
What's interesting about this box is that in addition to its size/form
factor, it also includes some pretty high-end audio hardware, and that
made me think this one may be interesting for LS.

unfortunately, it seems to be quite underpowered CPU-wise:
The new Neuros design is based on a Texas Instruments DM320 (TI)
dual-core RISC/DSP chip with an ARM926 application processor clocked at
200MHz and a C54x DSP core clocked at "up to 120MHz," the company says.
The design supports up to 128MB of RAM, and 8MB of Flash.
True, but I can report that LS Studio runs fine on my 300mhz Compaq
notebook with 96mb of RAM and 4GB HD. We have yet to hear if anyone else
has broken a lower limit. Although one of Michal's friends wanted to
install LS on his Beowulf cluster of old 386s ))

Maybee we can get it to run on my older machine? I could offer some special
funding to adapt the software, but the rule is: no hardware modifications
allowed! But I am pretty sure the CPU have enough power.
