Toys Shopping #2
I am still keeping an eye on new toy(s) sine last time.
I guess I can't make up my mind what to get or if I am going to spend the money.
There are 2 classes of devices I am interested:
1) PDA phone
2) tablet/UMPC
A small PDA phone is certainly more useful for my day-to-day life. I often read/send tweets from my Moto Ming in Starbucks or to jock down a few lines. Also, I still need it for Chinese hand-writing input... until I get the hand-writing tablet to work on Linux.
Candidates: O2 Atom or alike
A small tablet/UMPC becomes somewhat attractive recently because I am going to Vancouver next week, plus I might be mobiling more later this year. But I can't really justify it since I already have a T60 , which is my main machine at home. It's working well, except the size when compare to a UMPC. But I don't think I will like to work on my projects from it since the screen is too small... If I got a UMPC it will be use as Internet access and media device when I am not at home. I guess I can't have both world.
Candidates: oqo 02 (But it's too expensive), HTC shift (I saw it for ~$600 on ebay....), Asus eeePC (no air, please. I don't like Apple's close environment after my MacMini experience), Everex Cloud
Nokia N810 is nice, but is out of my list because it has no voice capability..... However, I am seeing N800 for under $200 on ebay.... tempting.
FIC Neo1973 is still too hacker-ish to me. It need to mature more to be a consumer device... even with the new Freerunner announced.
Wondering if there will be a successor to Moto Ming... I like the transparent flip so much.....
