I had one as well. I even installed gcc on the device. No camera but who cares, right? It didn’t need video conferencing as it could do irc with any number of clients. It even had centerim .

It became openzaurus then openembedded and is still alive. Work around to install Wikipedia on an SD card and gutenbrowser make it ver useful except for the 2-3 hour battery life.

I think it is because we require heave duty web browsers needing 8gb of ram, we’ll never return to the pda sized computer days




Wow, didn't know it was still alive (in one form or another). I remember getting gcc running and installing busy box. It became something of a challenge to see what you could install and run on this tiny machine.
