LinuxWorld, by its definition, is a software-driven conference, but each year there always seems to be one unique application of Linux in a hardware device. One I found most novel came from Unicon Systems who were demonstrating a hardware development kit for software engineers to develop mobile applications without the need for hardware design. The first products from this kit are soon to be released after the show with the mCopy and mBridge leading the way. Definitely a novel embedded Linux product, these devices use USB and 802.11x to transfer files between mobile devices such as mp3 players, digital cameras, camcorders, etc. Representing another incursion of open software in a proprietary space, Unicon scratches a very particular itch of mine, and if the development kit is any indication, the mCopy and mBridge should see some commercial success post release.

But enough about the praises, let?_Ts see what it can do for you. Let?_Ts start with the ?__trivial?_T things.

Any company with the guts to claim that their device is the "key to a computer free life" is going to be greeted with a healthy dose of skepticism 'round here. Still, Unicon Systems is digging in on this one with the release of a product image and an accelerated delivery of Q2 instead of October. Thankfully, much of the marketing rhetoric has been tempered making all this a bit more clear. Yeah, you can listen to MP3s but it's not a PMP since it doesn't support video playback. This device enables you to offload your data from media players, cellphones, digital cameras, etc via the MBridge's SD card slot, two USB 2.0 ports or USB Host port...
