Pepper Pad

The Pepper Pad was a family of Linux-based mobile computers with Internet capability and which doubled as a handheld game console.

The original prototype Pepper Pad was built in 2003 with an ARM-based PXA255 processor running at 400Mhz, an 8-inch touchscreen in portrait mode, a split QWERTY keyboard,[1] and Wi-Fi.

The Pepper Pad was a 2004 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovations Awards Honoree in the Computer Hardware category.

Like previous versions, the Pepper Pad 3 had a split QWERTY button keyboard, built-in microphone, video camera, composite video output, and stereo speakers, infrared receiver and transmitter, 800x480 7 inch LCD touchscreen (with stylus), SD/MMC Flash memory slot, 20 or 30 GB hard disk, 256 MB RAM, 256 KB ROM, and both Wi-Fi (b/g) and Bluetooth 2.0.

Pepper offered an application store, automatic software updates, and a simple way to share photos, music, and files with friends.
