The Zaurus is a really really bad pda. Especially if you want to develop for it and you don't run linux on your desktop computer, I would think at least someone would have built some.exe file you can get for free and start cranking out software, but nobody has even bothered with that! Even the TI-83 calculator has development tools available for windows.
It has extremely crappy arrow keys, totally unsuited for any type of games, as well as a cramped keyboard that likes to press neighboring keys. The battery life is terrible, and the battery dies completely if the unit is suspended and kept away from a power source for an extended amount of time.
It has a tiny amount of software available for it. Half of the programs for it either fail if you don't use openzaurus, the other half fail if you do.
It's only useful for playing Day of the Tentacle. That's it.
Damn slashcode took out my less than sign before the 256k... Emulator + Game must be less than 256k. That also includes additional memory used by the emulator but isn't part of its size.
It includes a stock version 9.95 of PocketNES, then executes it as a multiboot game. So it gets the crippled multiboot version of pocketnes, with no save features. It is also limited to emulator+game must be 256k.
I've heard about this, it does it when the CPU fan fails, and the temperature is too high. It will play Fur Elise, or some other classical tune, and run at a slower clock speed.

Of course they can fit. It's just a question of making more money by not making such a dumb business descision.
I thought LOW PH was acid, and HIGH PH was base...
Nice prepetual motion machine idea...

Let's hear it for comics that advertise a system! Great stuff here!

When users are upgrading from Windows ME, Windows XP is a huge step forward.
The save function can be hacked into multiboot pocketnes, if you are willing to sacrifice the sram of another cartridge.

How can you quote timecube.com and neglect to include some line about "Educated Stupid"?
I wouldn't have minded a 486 for $50.
Yeah, Bert is also in league with Osama Bin Laden...
Let me know when a candidate named "Diebold Sucks" wins 15% of the popular vote.
How are you going to move the laser without a motor?
I thought Syquest drives and media generally broke themselves to further increase your data security.
Maybe you should link to the correct Bubble Bobble game, rather than your accidently duplicated link.
Thanks for the compliment on my game!
So do we like Mircosoft now or what?
Add a robots.txt file to the new site and the old one vanishes from archive.org.
Hope those damn 'search' sqatter sites don't get any ideas.
Whoa! I completely misunderstood this based on the headline. I thought it would detect which cell phones were cheap.
With a bounce, legimate users on the forged reply address get annoying false notifications about spam/viruses.
"No more darts!"
Only the bottom screen is touch-sensitive.
PocketNES contains GPLed code by the way, it uses the MiniLZO Library. Jaleco is not using that component.

Why do get the idea that this will be bathroom grafitti all over again?
