New YOPY Screenshots

The images are in a tgz, and they look real. They demo an addressbook, and MP3 player and other apps that apparently would ship with the nifty Linux based PDA. I still haven't seen a ship date (or an english version of the software for that matter ;) so I'm not holding my breath too hard. Although after playing with Kurt The Pope's Jornada, I'm dying to see what they can do.

    Palm OS developer/Handspring founder Jeff Hawkins's "Zen of Palm" (essentially, simplify as much as possible for a palmtop unit) really holds true with current hardware limitations.

    Now, if you could give me something the size of a Palm V, with the Fitaly stamp keyboard instead of Graffiti or handwriting recogninition (plus an optional folding full-size StowAway keyboard), expansion as easy and versatile as Handspring's Springboard but as small as Sony's Memory Stick, a high-quality color display for large resolutions, built-in wireless connectivity, and long-lasting rechargable batteries...well, then you'd really have a amazingly powerful, functional palm device. Deliver it at a reasonable price point and the world will beat a path to your door.

    But it looks like Samsung is taking a big step in the race for the ultimate PDA.
