ARM powered gadgets are everywhere. One recently making a big splash is the Hammer by TinCan Tools. $160 buys you a 40-pin DIP sporting a 200Mhz ARM 920T processor plus 16MB of flash and 32MB of SDRAM. Pretty sweet, no doubt. But compare that to another bizarrely packaged creation, the Chumby, which packs a 350Mhz ARM, 64MB flash, 64MB RAM, plus a 320×240 touchscreen LCD, wifi, 2 USB 2.0 ports… for $180! Damn! Don’t get me wrong, I fully realize that the Hammer and the Chumby are designed with entirely different purposes in mind, but ultimately, which would you spend your hard earned greenbacks on?
