I started programming on a commodore 64. By modern standards, that system is so far down into "embedded" territory it's barely a computer. And yet people did development on it.
My dear Rob I got started on a PET, I can understand your POV :-)
kicked into the server space by the iPhone and such. I want to follow Moore's Law down into disruptive technology territory and find _out_ what it does.
The big challenge I see is delivering highly complex Linux devices with insufficient developers in a way that won't disappear up its own ass and kill the project / customer with delays or failure to perform.
It's nice if the device is efficient with every cycle, but that is a geek preoccupation. Many customers in suits will tell to spend an extra $1 to overcome it by hardware and gain back $5 from accelerated time to market, so long as they can depend on the high quality of the software basis to not kill that logic by delays.
