    Media Center PC? Try Macintosh TV

    Tablet PC? I have a Fujitsu Sytlistic 1200 tablet PC from 1997.

    PocketPC? The Newton did more in 1993 than most PDAs of today. If development had continued...

    XBox? Ok it's a game console -- like an Atari. Oh. It's a computer-based console? Try the Pippen (from '95).

    Media Player 9? What's so special about it? QuickTime was revolutionary in 1991.

    If anything MS is painfully aware that they need to divest themselves of a PC-only mentality and are inovating in a wide number of areas at an alarming rate to ensure that they don't end up with all of their eggs in one basket.

    Have you heard of the Digital Hub?

    Were you intentionally listing things that were innovative only by Microsoft's definition of the term?

    Can you point me in the direction of some open source tools I can run on my Linux box so I can learn it? Thanks.

    Sure thing..

    I'm sure you being the uber-elite open source guru you are, you can google for plenty more.

  4. Tablet PCs Are Nothing New by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Informative · on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

    Hellooooo... These are nothing new. I've had a Stylistic 1200 for years now, with the battery stylus, I'd prefer touch instead. Been running WinXX variant on it as well as different Linux dists. Nothing new here. More powerful, sure. Bigger screen, yep. But "Microsoft's concept"? Please. Not to mention they're taking a generic term, "tablet PC" and trying to make it a branding of their own product. Ridiculous.

    The Labs has a section on internet appliances, including home-brew refurbishing of older pen-based PCs. They have advice for loading Linux and BSD on the Fujistu Stylistic 1000 and 1200. Both models can be found on eBay.

  8. Re:less than successful???!@#$#$??? by ehikory · · Score: 1 · on The Dream Handheld

    I have such a webpad: A Fujitsu Stylistic 1000: 486 CPU (fine for simple X / browsing), attachable PS/2 keyboard(I use the Twiddler II), VGA port (for CyVisor or Monitor) for when the 640x480 8" display isn't enough, radio pen, PCMCIA HD (270MB comes standard, 2GB available), 2 additional type II PCMCIA slots, IRDA, Serial, Parallel, and a 3750mAh battery lasts four or five hours on a charge. I'm running RedHat 7.0, but the cleanest install I've heard of is Debian. One can often purchase them surplus for around $100. HSC Electronics is currently out of stock, but you may find them elsewhere.

    Of course, what I'd really like would be native Flash authoring...

    Yeah, me too... :(

    The Labs has put together some Perl stuff that will do basic swf creation and manipulation, maybe someone could build on that?
