  • iPhone, iPod and iPad running iOS
  • Linux (with X11)
  • Windows
  • ARM-Linux PDAs:

I still remember when I thought my Newton was the most powerful thing I would ever hold in my hands. Or ever need, for that matter. Admittedly I was in the first flush of un-boxing on launch day, at the time.

It’s crazy to think that in a few years time we’ll probably be going similarly gaga over PS3 and current gen. iPhone games running via an emulator on our iPod Nanos.
