A new low by larry+bagina · 2002-03-10 03:23 · Score: 2, Funny

This thing must set a new low for battery lifetime. I'm wondering if Tiqit isn't actually a loss-leader for Energizer batteries!

These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

It's so small, no matter where you go, you can tiqit with you.

Don't use one as your webserver, it doesn't work very well :)
Hey.. you know what the damn thing looks like... by rjw57 · 2002-03-10 04:03 · Score: 2, Funny

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between the pictures of this thing and the Hitchikers' Huide to the Galaxy that was in the TV episodes?

Are you sure that being able to watch porn in anywhere is a good idea? The temptation to wank in public would be too great for most of us to stand.

"Please consider that this ``handheld'' has dimensions of 5.4" x 4" x 1.1" and a weight of 20oz (567g). This is neither something like a palmtop (except for very large palms) nor one of these slim notebooks."
Who knows, they call the XBox controller handheld...
Re:Doesn't have much on the good old Libretto by PhotoGuy · 2002-03-10 05:42 · Score: 3, Funny

One more point. With the Libretto, people were impressed by the size and the slick look. With the Tiqit, I think most people will assume you're playing with an oversized label maker, which in certain circumstances would look even geekier than normal. :-)
