Pretty slick little gadget, with RF networking and ability to set up bluetooth-like clouds so that other units can talk to each other, play games, or swap files. You can can even use another unit at as a repeater to bounce your message to another unit out of your range."

  1. Weapon for terrorists ? by Krapangor · · Score: 1, Funny

    With these PDA-alikes becoming more and more powerful, I wonder if these couldn't be used as a weapon for cyberterrorism/espionage.
    Let's see you have a small, decent computer. Networking capabilities. Easily hidden and, hey, would anyone expect an assault from these things ?
    The keyboard comes in handy for mission critical scripting etc.
    Just go into desired building, h4x0r their nets (or aquire confidential data - when you are working for govermental bodies) and leave.
    And you'll get away because noone will notice that YOU did anything. Might work with laptops, too, but laptops are more difficult to hide and may raise suspicion.

      Damn, now that you're onto us, we'll have to start encrypting those major business networks that run on Cybiko power! The world is no longer a safe place! Hackers now have small devices capable of sending wireless signals....
