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.
