New Linux-based PDA due September

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-it-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "LinuxDevices.com has a preview of a new Linux-based PDA due out next month. Some of you might recognize the form-factor; it's from Softfield, the folks who ended up with the rights to the first commercial Linux-based PDA, the black-and-white, MIPs-based Agenda VR3. Softfield's new model, the MX-7, sports a 200MHz CPU, full-color 240x320 display, 32MB Flash and 64MB RAM, an SD card slot, and Trolltech's Qtopia environment. All for $299 USD."

  1. Wasting an opportunity for innovation by gearmonger · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's too bad that Softfield is wasting this opportunity to do something actually *interesting*. QVGA screen? Please...how passe. Why not match up an innovative OS/UI with some innovative hardware? I mean, it's not like this current device is going to set the world on fire, so try something creative and maybe establish yourself as a credible player? Otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's time with this lame sub-incrementalist crap.
