It would be nice if the HDMI output could be made to work as then you could
plug a monitor and proper keyboard / mouse into it to use it on the desk, or
disconnect them to use it on the go.
While I am fully aware of the amount of work needed to get WiFi to work, it is
getting more and more critical both on the Armbook and the various other
systems that have it.
The bounty has been there for ages, and while it's a sizeable chunk of cash I
don't think it's something that someone could tackle in the evenings.
I'm not sure what the answer is though - and I'm also sure people who are far
more in the know have a better clue!
It's still a very useful machine and I use mine a lot.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks for the replies, I guess the short answer is that there is no
timeline for wifi on this machine. I'll stick with it for a bit, but I
feel a desktop RISC OS machine might be a better idea for me anyway, as
I find the screen too small anyway, and the trackpad is a horror.
I have never got on with trackpads on any machine so I always use a mouse.
I particulary wanted a small machine so the small screen is not an issue
for me, it is very similar to the Dell 2110 Pro, which I have owned for a
number of years (using VA), but it's screen resolution is higher.
It's horses for courses really, when at home I use a desktop machine
(Iyonix or ARMX6) and the ARMBook is a machine to take away on holiday or
when I am otherwise "out and about". I did not want to have to lug around
one of the 17" monsters, you sometimes see people using in places like
Costa.
Wi-Fi is dependant on overhauls to the TCP/IP stack, for which bounties
are in place.
