Midori Linux Powered FIC Aquapad

quantumgravity1 writes: "Check out this review of the FIC Aquapad. It has a 500MHz Transmeta Crusoe CPU, runs Midori Linux, is wireless capable, and is totally portable. According to pics included it is comparable to the Iopener in size. There's no hard drive, but it comes with up to 256MB of memory with 32 embedded for the os, but you can expand it with compact flash or the IBM Microdrive. GPS support is in the works, but it already supports MP3 and MPG. Now I just need a wireless setup at home, or perhaps I can do some mobile sniffing. :)"

Because I worked with FIC to get a good price.

You won't get one from me at that price. FIC is not 3com, and the Audrey is not the Aquapad. Audrey? What kind of a wuss would buy something called Audrey? ;)

You don't have to buy a wireless access point with it, you should already have one by now. What, you can't afford it? Then stop bitching. :-)

Because I wanted one, so I found out how to buy it, people saw it, also wanted it. No one in the US sells it. Why the fuck would I want to support a bad product? Have you ever done tech support? I have, and until you have supported a crappy product shut up.

You want a keyboard, plug one in. For most purposes you don't need to enter anything, in fact if everyone used this to read the post I bet it would get rid of 95% of the total bs most people post in the talkback these days. The lazy people won't take the time to post something stupid when they have to tap it in. I'm all for that.

Small battery, good sized screen, equals 3-3.5 hours of battery life. Design tradeoffs and cost tradeoffs have to be made. There is no perfect product, but this one is close enough for me.

yeah, right, arm, 100 dollars. You must be a cheap ass, am I right? I'm just kidding, don't get upset. :)

Marketing major? I doubt it.

Holy shit, two marketing majors in a row.

Pick up a dictionary and look up the meaning of joking.

So did your mouth.

Refer to ageitgey's response. Don't you have a conflict of interest reading slashdot and then buying linux based products? Yeah, I'll make loads of money off the 10 I might sell at just above cost, not factoring my time spent and tech support. Oh yeah, I'm not making shit. Dick. Is it possible for you to fathom that I'm trying to do people a favor?

Well that was fun. Thanks to the 3 or4 of you that had something intelligent to say. For the rest of you polish up your jokes and sarcasm, because this talkback is weak.
