Thoughts on the CyberBoy PDA and Penbex OS?

Posted by Cliff on from the searching-for-peer-opinions dept.

An Anonymous Coward asks: "I was flipping through the new issue of Maxim and in the tech section they had a listing for the CyberBoy PDA. It is an MP3 player, camera, voice recorder, and PDA. After reading the website it looks like it uses Penbex OS. Has anyone had experience with these? and if so how are they?"

    Or does the Penbex OS look suspiciously like a localized version of the Palm OS? There's no mention of Palm anywhere on the Penbex site, but the closeup shots are unmistakeable.

    ...people reading MAxim for the articles ;-)

    Only 8Mb or RAM, seems a little stingy, although I'm sure you'd fill the sd slot quickly.

    It's a bit odd isn't it that it sez it's color but all the photos and screen shots are mono?

      It says the camera is color (can take color pictures), but says nothing about the screen
