Linux-based music server uses Nokia 770 "remote"

linuxdevices.com — UK-based Pinnacle Audio used embedded Linux to build an ultra-high-fidelity, hard-drive-based music server capable of storing roughly 9,000 CDs, with lossless compression. The Athenaeum comes with a Linux-powered Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, which serves as its remote control, and it features a 24-bit, 96kHz digital-to-analog converter.

    I can't seem to find any pricing on it on pinnacle's site, but with an included 770, you know it aint gonna be cheap.

    FTFA: "Gatt says he has long advocated Linux, and would recommend it to anyone. "

    What kind of BS is that? Pinnacle sells tons of hardware, none of which they release linux drivers for that i'm aware of. That should read: "Gatt says he has long advocated Linux, and would recommend it to anyone who does not ever plan on buying any of our video hardware."
