Mobile Phone with PC running Linux 2.6

Posted by timothy on from the good-for-the-ski-lift dept.

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.

  1. Keyboard like the Psion 5? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ah, the Psion 5 ... that was a really decent bit of hardware for the time. Quite a usable keyboard too, even on the minimal Revo model.

  2. ROAD runner? by KontinMonet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Looks to me like vapourware. Hardly any info, pictures tooled up with Photoshop (or whatever). No address or phone number, just a one address email. Is it a 'skam' (as we might say auf Deutsch)?

  3. Keyboard has a "Windows" key by Linuxathome · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the English version of the page, if you look at the larger picture of the device, the keyboard has a Windows key next to the Alt button. I understand we can remap that key to do whatever we want, but can't we use another image? I'd like to be reminded less of the pervasive MS Windows monopoly.
