A company is on the forefront of creating embedded Linux apps for a range of comsumer electronics. And, these aren't 8 or 16 bit things, we're talking about 32-128 bit CPUs. Pretty powerful stuff.

MontaVista said its new product, known as MontaVista Linux Consumer Electronics Edition 3.0, is aimed at advanced devices rather than traditional 8-bit and 16-bit fixed-function appliances. Instead, the software targets 32-, 64- and even 128-bit systems that are network-connected and relatively complex. Initially, it will target device-specific CPUs, such as the Texas Instruments OMAP 1510 and 5910, as well as the IBM PowerPC 405LP, with others set to follow.
