DesignTechnica Reviews Motorola Accompli 009

Ian Bell writes: "Designtechnica does a review of Motorola's new Accompli 009 2-way communicator. 'The ACCOMPLI sports the standard cast of communication and organization features - voice calling, calendar (syncs with Outlook or other personal information management programs), contacts, SMS, web browser, and a splash of ring tones and games. Not so standard is an RF modem that enables you to connect to the Internet through a data cable and operate as you would from a PC... ' While the features look good on paper, the unit has little to be desired. This is the first full review of the Accompli 009 on the net. Thanks guys."

    Syncs with Outlook? I'm just waiting for the first virus to hit it.

    I can see it now, a virus with a sound clip that goes from device to device saying, "Tag, you're it"

    But in my opinion, it's only "stuff that matters" if it has features that everyone, or at least I, am interested in. If the story post itself admits that the device has little to be desired, it doesn't strike me as news. To each his own.

    By that logic, you're saying that anything slashdot don't review 'has little to be desired'. Therefore they would have to review EVERYTHING else otherwise you would think it bad. Get some coffee man, you're acting nuts!

    Yeah. I was thinking the guy was nuts since he seemed to both like it and hate it.

    Yeah, that sort of thing never happens here on /. ;-)

    Do plumbers carry around Palm Pilots with cellphones attached? No. They have those old 1993 Motorola pagers that cost $3.95 a month. So my advice is, stop trying to upgrade to the latest greatest toy and get to work.

    Um, I do work. And my work doesn't involve crawling around flooded basements, displaying butt cleavage, or sticking my arms into shit-plugged toilets. To each their own, I guess, but I don't generally look up to plumbers for lifestyle advice.
