Mobile Phone with PC running Linux 2.6
A8 writes "There is a new toy (aka the S101) around the corner from a German company called Road GmbH. Looks like the Nokia Communicator, but is a little PC with GSM, GPRS, IrDA, Bluetooth, WLAN -- you name it, running Linux 2.6/Qtopia! Sorry seems like the page is in German only." There are also versions based on the same hardware but running Windows CE and Symbian.
Does anyone else remember the simpler days, when phones where just phones? When you didn't have to bother with your friends sending you pictures over their $400 internet phone camera thingies? When you didn't have to interupt a kernel compile just to check your voice mail?
I do. Good times.

Viel Glück with your German knowledge while on the phone!
PS: I think it's a fake as well, but hey, they have an address...
...as soon as I've ordered my Treo 650, they introduce the phone that will mother my children.
I'm determined to reclaim my karma. Now, if I can only find a groundbreaking article and something witty to say....
The wait was unbearable.
Finally a Cell Phone you can use to type viking names without knowing the ASCII codes.
I like it... "Acoustic output over earphones or free speech mechanism." Even though it's German it ensures your First Amendment rights in the U.S.
