Star Review: The Linux-based Pontis MX2020 Portable Media Player
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 14th Nov 2005 08:47 UTC
Multimedia, AV We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered (by snooping on its firmware files) that the Pontis MX2020 multimedia device that Geeks.com sent us for a review actually uses Linux (embedded distribution uCLinux, kernel 2.4.19). If it's video, audio, pictures, recording or even basic PDA functionality via its touch screen, the Pontis MX2020 can do it all. And for very cheap too.

One question though, it says the Pontis company has been sold. Who is taking care of warranty requests now?

Geeks.com supports the device for 1 year, if something goes wrong, not Pontis.
