Flipster Portable Plays MPEG-4

An anonymous reader says "Pogo! Products has released a mediabox called the Flipster that plays MPEG-4 video and MP3 & WMA tunes. The unit's screen can display JPG and GIF graphics as well. What is interesting is the decision to go with flash memory for storage. Capacity is limited to 128MB plus whatever MMC card you put in the expansion slot. While it allows the Flipster comes in at 3.7oz, I would prefer to see something using the 10GB Toshiba drive found in the iPod. Maybe I'll wait for the Archos Jukebox Multimedia, but I'm beginning to wonder if that portable will ever appear."

Re:Why isn't this a phone?

Easy -- call Qwest tech support. If you can ignore the periodic "All representatives are busy" and "This call is monitored for quality" notices, you'll have free, portable music on your cell phone for hours at a time.

Just be careful not to use up all your minutes.

A word of advice for soft/hardware developers

[jimhill]

If you're out there coding up software or drawing up circuit diagrams or in some other way preparing to release a product on the world, please bear in mind that as of October 23, 2000, the use of the suffix "ster" was officially deprecated as being Fucking Stupid. Please consider changing the planned name of Spreadsheetster or Videoplayerster or Toasterster before it hits the market.

Thank you, that is all.
