Sony Announces Excellent New Handhelds
PalmAddict writes "Sony Japan has announced what was only supposed to be a non-working mockup at Palm Source just a few short weeks ago, as reality. Palminfocenter has the scoop on the PEG-NR70, a thin, folding, half VGA, built-in digital camera picture taking, MP3 playing powerhouse." Nothing I can say except wow.
Is their server running off one of these or something? That was quite the fast slashdotting...

There aren't any compusa stores in japan, therefore the compusa-theft-protocol is not legal to implement on a japan device do to export regulations.
Companies are planning to create a mod-chip for the device, but because it's fair use, sony will sue them according to the DMCA.

Is it just me, or do these all-in-one gadgets fly in the face of the UNIX idea of compartmentalized utilities that do one specific function, and that's it? If you want something more powerful, just chain them together.
True, which makes them more complex and more likely to break. Problem is that there's a lot more room for comparmentalized utilities on a hard drive than there is for compartmentalized devices in my shirt pocket.
> It's a downright bastardization by slavering fanboys who must run linux everywhere to put linux on this beautiful sony handheld.
I just got Linux running on my toilet bowl (RedHat 7.2).
It's great!
Now I have to type 'rm -rf *' when I'm done.
Of course, I replaced the stdio function 'fflush()' with a version that does the appropriate thing.
Next, I'll be installing Linux on a rock in my front yard. Yes, a rock. I'm not sure what It will do yet, but won't it be great to have Linux on a rock?
