YOPY Arrives

Victor Tramp writes "Apparently the fabled Linux based YOPY handheld has been put on the market after all! Not only do they look like cool PDA versions of a Gameboy Advance SP (they fold), they look like they give the Zaurus a real run for the money, featurewise. Though the fastest processor is 206MHz, they include CompactFlash and MMC slots on the 3700 model. Apparently you can download their Linupy distro, too. And finally, they don't seem to be vaporware!"

I wouldn't let a 16 year old play with my Yopy either.

It's trouble, I tell you. Trouble!

does it run Windows CE?

No, it's fully functional.

How about Apple's new 4 inch iBook

Speaking of the gameboy advance SP, can you imagine an iBook like this thing running linux?

A server in your pocket, or maybe two

[YOU LIKEWISE FAIL IT]

This is an inversion of the traditional "But does it run Linux ( or Ogg )?!" question asked of every device article posted here on Slashdot.

Based on the content, I suspect the original posters IP address might originate lie within the address space allocated to... Soviet Russia! [1]

YLFI.

Whats the cost on those? Not the ones in your pants, you can keep those...

Size Matters

And with its "Fashionable Slim Size", I could use it to keep my truck from rolling down the driveway. I certainly wouldn't want to wear the thing all day, esp. with the LAN card hanging out to catch on things.
