New Sony Clie PEG-UX50
webguru4god writes "Sony Japan has just released a killer new Clie, complete with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a camera, in a small laptop-like enclosure. It runs Palm OS 5.2, has a 65,000 screen, and a built in keyboard! " I've always been a bit skeptical of handhelds that have flip out
keyboards like this, but have repeatedly been impressed with the quality of various models of Clie. This might be worth a look.
...but it will shave your cat, clean your oven, and vacuum the carpet! Tally ho!
First post!

All I need is this and a pack of sidewalk chalk and it's time for some fun I hope I don't get stopped for vandalizing :(
ALL WIFI POINTS ph34r my chalk!
Excuse me, I don't mean to impose, but I am the ocean
The handheld body is made of magnesium.
Better hope it doesn't rain!
It looks like a laptop for midgets. I guess that's not bad. Even Willow needs to check his email.
More details and an official US announcement are expected tomorrow (7/18) when Sony's handheld President, Masanobu Yoshida,
Why did they make him president if he needs someone to hold his hand ??
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
He doesn't need to have his handheld. He is the handheld President because he is small enough to hold in your hands. It is really great for when a full-sized Sony president just won't fit in your luggage.
Slashdotter are stupid and biased.
The next one will surely have GPS, duct tape dispensor, phasor, bowie knife, ball of string, elastic band compartment and five loaves & two fishes.
Your iPod has 30GB of RAM???
Holy shit!

Ooh. I feel my previously-unwavering desire for a Zaurus 760 beginning to wane...
it actually has 65,000 screens, each of which is visible in an alternate universe, a la quantum physics.
I heard that if you're:
Using the integrated Wi-Fi while having the blue-tooth disabled
and touching the casing of the unit
and standing on carpet
and someone IMs you
it gives you a mild electric shock...
Self realization: I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said: "I drank what?"

I think all these companies have the wrong idea. Here's my idea. You build a ultra small form factor PC that has no display, no cdrom. Just wireless, VGA maybe some USB and a great battery. Then you buy one of these nifty goggles and figure out some kind of input device and you are money.
... I found something called the Mini-PC-EX1 which is 450g (pretty light!) but it has a CDROM and is still a bit clunky...
now, if only some one kind find me one of these ultra small form factor PC's
So, the question i ask is this? Anyone know of a truly ultra small form factor displayless pc? (that runs linux)? And, anyone know how I could input into this device with enough speed/accuracy to code?
Just imagine entire corporate headquarters transforming into parks where people wander around with eyeglass mounted displays, and pocket size pc that are wireless connected... No need for small stuffy offices or cubicles...
If you know anything please contact me with information...
