Products
Gumstix currently has two product lines: the Texas Instruments OMAP-based Overo series and the Marvell XScale-based Verdex Pro series. The tiny Gumstix Overo COMs are 17 mm x 58 mm x 4.2 mm (0.67 in. x 2.28 in. x 0.16 in.) while the slightly larger Verdex Pro series COMs, about the size of a stick of gum, measure 80 mm x 20 mm x 5.3 mm (3.15 in. x 0.79 in. x 0.21 in.). Gumstix products offer a wide range of functions including OMAP, PXA, microSD, Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless interfaces, synchronous and asynchronous serial, USB, 10/100 Ethernet, RS-232 and more in a very small form factor. The company provides Linux for the OpenEmbedded build environment.
Gumstix products have been used in various commercial, educational and hobbyist projects such as power management metering devices, medical devices, security and personnel management products, wireless and hand-held products, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and robotics.
Gumstix products have no printed documentation but are supported instead through several different forms of online documentation, such as articles, FAQ lists, a user-maintained wiki and a mailing list archive.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
—Toni Liebman (20th century)
“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no
hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
Why not?
Look at pot.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
