that's sort of equivalent to a BB? that would be handy to drop in a
pocket on the laptop bag and have on the road if i wanted to play
around.

i must be missing it, but i don't see anything like that at gumstix.
i certainly see USB-insertable *expansion* modules, but i don't see a
USB-format *computer* on module. or am i just blind?

No, I guess you are not blind :slight_smile: . There is expansion modules to get
different connectivity options. Nevertheless, I think it is the
closest thing to what you were asking for: Overo has the same OMAP CPU
as BB and with expansion board (which is also pretty small) it will
definitely fit in the pocket on the laptop bag.
