Linux Yopy Handheld Preview

Posted by timothy on from the till-you-see-the-whites-of-their-eyes dept.

Isamu Noguchi writes: "The Samsung Linux-powered Yopy is coming back with a fliptop screen and an odd keyboard. A developer unit is previewed at infosync." After a series of design flip-flops, changing release dates, and nice-looking prototypes, could the Yopy actually be released?

  1. could it be released? by garcia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    yeah it could but w/an ABCDEF keyboard I could not understand why anyone would want it.

    I live and die by my Landware keyboard for my Cassiopeia. I do all my note taking for research. I could NOT imagine using my TI85 for note taking

    It is a great idea and I most certainly like the serial port but the keyboard was not a good idea.

    I swear, that's what it looks like to me. I want a tablet PC -- basically a PDA with a very large screen -- and they give us yet another micro laptop. Remember the original Jornada?
