Danger's Mobile Device - The HipTop

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the incredible-converging-technology dept.

A random reader writes "All the "convergence" devices I've seen so far are great, but they all miss a feature or two. Cellphones with PDAs but no keyboard, PDAs with keyboards but no phone, etc. Has anyone ever heard of the HipTop? This little baby has a screen the size of a gameboy advance, runs Java, has a cellphone, keyboard, PDA functions, a camera and even an 8-voice MIDI synth... " Excluding a color screen, what more could one want in a toy?

    Nah. It's called Slashdot. If you're a unix person, that's '/.' . If you're a windows person, it's '\.' . Until they rename it to 'forward-slashdot', my sig is staying as it is - pedant ;-)

  6. HTML link bug? by Comrade+Pikachu · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot seems to like to insert a space exactly 50 characters into any text links. Almost certainly, this is due to the width of the text box on the Post Comment page. Can someone look into fixing this, please?

    Fantastic. So this thing is great, except for the missing feature. Doh. Do the editors even read the submissions or their comments any more, or is slashdot nothing more than a glorified random number generator?
