On behalf of Hong Kong Embedded Linux Interest Group, I am pleased to announce that a new domain name of our site is effective to use. The former URL was http://elig.linux.org.hk but it will be replaced by http://embedded.hk .

It is believed that having an easy-to-remember domain name is the way to help people to find out the newest information about embedded Linux and embedded systems development in Hong Kong. We hope our site should benefit the society.

Although the old and new domain names are synonymous and interchangeable, it is highly recommended to update your bookmark. For any enquiry about the new domain or any issue about Hong Kong Embedded Linux Interest Group, please feel free to write us an email to info< at >embedded.hk. (Replace < at > to @).

Thanks you for your attention to our group.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y.-- March 3, 2005--Symbio Technologies, an innovator in server-centric diskless thin client computer systems, said today that it grew its VAR network from a single outpost in Canada to 27 value-added resellers worldwide in 2004.

"Last January we set out to commercialize our server-centric diskless thin client computing model," said Roger Del Russo, co-founder and COO of Symbio Technologies. "Back then, just one reseller -- Systems Aligned in Brampton, Ontario -- constituted our 'VAR network.' But we have worked to spread the word that we have something special, and quite obviously, VARs around the U.S. and the globe agree."
The newest members of the authorized network of Symbio Technologies VARs include....

Almost all devices made these days have a microprocessor, and microprocessors will become ubiquitous as time passes. Many devices are based on ARM processors. ARM is a leader in producing cost-effective and power-efficient processors for mobile devices and ITTIA is proud to announce that it has confirmed db.* support for Linux on the ARM processor.

This announcement opens up thousands of new development possibilities. Since ITTIA announced its support for db.* last August, developers have been learning about this open source, fast, small-footprint embedded database. The ARM processor is already used in thousands of Linux-powered devices, including routers, cell phones, cameras and other devices, and db* will make it possible to make these devices even better.
