$99 tuning laptops
It'd take some work to get a real OS running on it (VIA C7-M processor), but I know some of y'all are cheap bastards who don't value their time: http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/sh...ump&navCount=3

lol... Thats a terrible idea. Target has Asus 10.1" netbooks for $180 right now... $80 more for 4 times the computer. (tho they may all be gone now)
edit: in for seeing someone try tho I bet tunerstudio would run like molasses on that.

It's still quite common in embedded computing. We just transitioned the controller in our audio consoles from the old AMD Elan x86 platform to a new Atmel ARM9-based platform, and decided to stick with CE again, since it's just so bloody convenient. It's still being actively developed and supported by MS- presently we're on 6.0.
Hadn't seen it on a GPC in a while, though.
Agreed. But then, I don't try to understand some folks around here. 'Specially the ones who still seem to want an ebay-sourced turbo kit over a Bell-S.

Several Linux distros support ARM processors, most notably Debian, however there isn't a Sun JVM compiled for ARM that I'm aware of. There is the Blackdown JRE for ARM ( I believe it is based on Java 1.4) but I'm not certain as to whether or not that will run TunerStudio.
There is always the possibility of running MegaTunix, but I'm not sure of its compatability with MS2/3.
At this point it might make more sense to wait for TS-Android to come out (if it indeed does) and pick up something like this:

or this :

Of course, if you are going to spend that kind of cash, you might as well just buy a cheap netbook (although for the record, TS just doesn't look all that great on a tiny 10" screen for those of you who haven't seen it, and I'm hoping that the android version will take screen size into account)

Well, frak that.
The 7" Android tablet looks quite nice.

EDIT:I should also note though that this is under linux, which has a long nasty history of Java GUI apps not playing nicely.

I personally looked into getting something working on the android platform last year. The biggest problem that I found was communicating between the phone and MS. Last I looked the type of USB port that was on the android devices could not be used. So you would have to do some sort of blue tooth connection.
The biggest problem I had with tuning on a friends netbook was simply screen resolution. I could not make TS big enough to see everything that was going on in the VE Analyzer tab.
