Danger Device Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the getting-closer-to-the-dream-pda dept.

Andonyx writes "There's already a review out on Zdnet regarding Danger's Hiptop PDA / Phone device. It looks very interesting and the review is mostly positive. It has some minor niggles, but concludes that it is a compelling and polished first gen offering."

    Link is bad.

    If the editors keep neglecting to check these, someday we'll end up with one that points to goatse.cx .

    Now there's a PDA that Steve Irwin would be happy to use.

    What does it tell you about ZDnet, when the advertisement in the middle of the article is five times bigger than the picture of the item in question?

    That's right. You heard it there first © 2002

    A small device attaches itself to your genitals. The early concept model is still in development, hence I cannot release the full feature details. But I must stress the fact that it uses recycled energy whenever there is friction involved. It comes standard with Anu-Tooth, which is the modified version of blootooth module and plugs right into the crack.

    For "testing" of course. Go here.

    "Wow," I though, "that's pretty good," until I noticed that it applied not to the PDA's screen, but rather to it's "illuminated LED push-wheel." Please tell me why I need a scroll wheel capable of blinking in 16.7 million different colors.

  8. Nothing special by jukal · · Score: 4, Funny
    It was a nice presentation on their website, here. The thing does not have anything special, and it is not sold now. Most main cell/pda makers will publish similar things within 6 months, I believe. Danger, I quess, just has to go public sooner.

    Or was there anything else fancy, than the market speech, that I missed?

    Niggles? Wtf does that mean? Should I be offended?

    That's right, I want more, more devices to carry around, wouldn't feel like a proper geek without lugging around more, a Huge watch, a Big Multipurpose Controller for Tv's, Vcrs, DVds, etc. (Hey you won't get stuck watching anything you don't want to now!), A Very Large Palm pilot, A 22lb Laptop, and a few misc. other devices that weight quite a bit, but make me look more geeky.
