ZDNet reviews a new embedded Linux device that is intended for use in the medical field. "Austrian company BMS Bayer launched EasyDose, a unit that monitors, displays and manages X-ray exposure data automatically through hospital networks. Based on Transmeta's Midori--a very compact Linux distribution--and a Cyrix GXM 233 processor, the unit has a 6.5-inch touch-screen and works to the standard DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) protocols over IP and Ethernet."
