Yesterday I completed my DIY Stomp Box and have documented it in the | |
projects section of my gopherspace. Here is a direct link [1]. I | |
will probably html-ize it for the gopher-impaired. | |
Man, I miss this device. I fired up my enTourage Pocket eDGe [2] to | |
write. I picked this up when enTourage was going out of business | |
and had their fire sale on 1saleaday.com (now defunct.) This device | |
was so cool for an Android device and reminds me of how creative | |
companies were back then with the hardware. | |
This particular device has 2 screens, a markable 6" eink screen and a | |
7" TFT resistive color display. It also has a bunch of buttons and a | |
trackpad of some kind for your thumb (I don't know the technical | |
name for it, but it reminds me of the pointing device on one of my old | |
Blackberries. It also has a stylus for the resistive screen. Kinda | |
reminds me of the Nintendo DS. They had a larger model with a 10" | |
screen, which would have been nice, but not as portable. | |
The Pocket eDGe folds like a book and you can also fold it all the | |
way back. It's nice that you can position the screen in various | |
positions. Currently, I have it open like a laptop with a Fellowes | |
Stowaway USB folding keyboard, which is almost exactly like the old | |
Palm III folding keyboards except for the connector. | |
The device is rooted running Android 2.2.1 and I am connected to sdf | |
over ssh using ConnectBot. I probably shouldn't connect it to the | |
Internet, but eh, whatever. | |
I should write more about this one for the personal computing saga. | |
