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?

    Both Nokia 9110 and 9210 have a keyboard, a few PDA features, and of course, cellphones.

    They're pretty expensive, and probably not as powerful as regular PDAs, but they may fit your needs.

    For more info, check the nokia website:
    9910
    9210

    The 7650 is pretty interresting too, but has no keyboard.

    It doesn't look like it has enough lights. How are you supposed to analyze the atmosphere on an alien homeworld without rows of blinkin LED's?
