Gumstix Inc. is named after a piece of gum for one very simple reason: they make computers that are the size of sticks of gum. This is not hyperbole:
This is the Gumstix Connex 200 and the netMMC daughter card. These provide pretty similar functionality to the unit I'm actually reviewing, but without the luxurious white case we'll see in a moment. The Connex snaps into the daughter card, which provides the Connex with an ethernet connection and an MMC slot (on the bottom). Like Voltron, except without lasers or '80s kitsch value.
I don't usually get too excited about a 200 MHz processor, 64 MB of memory, and 4 MB of RAM. However, when it is the size of a USB flash drive, it gets enticing.
