TheKompany Releases DivX Software For Zaurus

Posted by timothy on from the if-it-only-had-a-hard-drive dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "InfoSync has an article on DivX for the Zaurus. Finally, you can watch movies on the go!" Between this and theKompany's ogg player, the Zaurus looks cool. It's a little chunkier perhaps, but another reader points out that Archos is now taking pre-orders for its do-everything Jukebox Multimedia device, which might be another option for those seeking a portable anything box.

    It's like $10 - $20 for one thing. You shelled out $400 ish for the device what is $10 or $20 on a piece of bad software?

    Ah just my $.02

    Stuff like this for the Zaurus is neat (I have one), but if the Zaurus is going to be successful there are more important things that have to happen:

    Battery life has to improve drastically (currently about 2 hours in developer's model)

    Standard apps (calendar/address book) need to be as good as the standard ones available on Palm

    Without those basics, the 'Wow' applications make neat demos, but won't win market share.
