Review Of Linux-based Motorola A768i

Posted by timothy on from the not-in-your-mouth dept.

Eugenia writes "MobileBurn published a review of Motorola's A768i, the Linux-based smartphone that employs a PDA-style form factor. It may not have much in the way of photo-taking abilities, but the A768i might be the thing for business users as it excels in the phone/messaging category."

  1. Another flop by DogDude · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why does Slashdot insist on publishing at the very *least*, one article a day on a Linux based PDA? Why? Every single one has been a total and complete flop. Virtually nobody in the real world (outside of Slashdot readers) use them. They are *always* withdrawn from the market after a few months, and when they are, there are always a good half dozen Slashdotters that post a "But I love mine. Why aren't they still being made? It's such a shame". They're always using some cutting edge technology (Bluetooth, 3G, etc.) that most people A. Could care less about B. Couldn't even begin to figure out.
    Face it. There will always be a Linux based PDA on the market. They all seem to suck in one way or another. They are all overpriced. They will always fail. Now, please continue with some interesting stories, huh?
