How about an ARM-based SHOUTcast internet radio, running Linux, including
LCD etc, with full design docs for free? For $100?

http://chumby.wordpress.com/2009/09/...on-chumby-one/

On sale in 'October', which means it should be out in a few hours ;-)

The docs for the previous version are at:
http://www.chumby.com/developers
You can always ditch as much of their stuff as you wish.

Access to the schematics is under a licence a bit like the GPL for hardware
- if you distribute modifications, you must give Chumby a licence to
use/sell them themselves. Presumably if you don't agree to the schematics
licence you can do whatever you want with modifications.

Hardware spec of the current version here:
http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/ind...are_for_chumby

Assuming the new one is similar, there's wireless and USB but not ethernet.
So a $5-10 USB-ethernet adaptor would be required to meet your spec.

Hmm, I've not heard about this project before. It is interesting, but I'm
looking for more flexible solution. I must customize a lot of project parts to
customer's requirements.

Thanks for your interesting.
