Okay, the title was all I had, I got nothing.
But it\'s still better than a 6000 !
-
bah!
Was looking forward to Episode IV: A New Hope.. with the evil Clie finally defeated, the Zaurite Alliance fights on to restore freedom to the galaxy.....
Where\'s the malice, hate or trebuchets?
What are we fighting over this time, WHAT I ASK YOU????
;-)
Oh it\'s no good just starting a new flame war, you need to fuel it with rage and spite!
Maybe those with sufficient axes to grind, would like to share their hatred of non-Zaurus devices and why they are shite?

My name is Francis and I\'m an alcoholic, I mean a recovering Clie owner.
I realised Clie was shite when I got bored of it within a week, when I realised I\'d bought a nice looking device but was underpowered by PalmOS, it was a very expensive, feature bloated PalmPilot - in colour. My PDA looked good but was a fat stinking log, I could not run apps from storage cards without 3rd party add-ons, can you imagine it? AAH! Oh the pain! The compact flash port with no drivers, 160x112 pixel video! The out-of-focus camera! Having to keep paying for software over and over and over! Proprietary formats! The lack of crash protection, single tasking-like usage! It only hooked upto Windows! Oh mummy! I still think about it and weep, but my Z therapy is helping. With the support from ZUG and a loving family and friends I will one day be able to forget about that horiffic time in my life when I was tempted by PalmOS and Clie. Thank goodness for Linux, the Z and all the joy that comes from it!
Clie is dead, let us all give it the send off it deserves, by raising the big middle finger and passing wind......

;-), i have one of the sj-30 clies (the 320x320 M68k ones) it wasnt too bad, infact for my first PDA i quite like it, i managed to hook mine upto linux just fine, also used the usb cable for networking etc, vnc and ssh werent too fast but hey, the browser i found (which was an effort in itself) was called xiino, and tbh, it\'s not bad, net access over irda with a nokia phone is passable, i used it to get my exam results last year while on the train, and , it had a pretty good battery life, If i could get uClinux and a wifi card I would have been fairly happy, my fiancee\' is going to have the clie now as it is fairly well suited to life in the hospital with stull like the BNF being sent out on a new memstick each year, and other stuff like palmGP. (yes i know there are lots of zaurus apps for medics ;-)
one thing some embedded linux developers have yet to learn from the palm world is to be able to make absolutly tiny applications, xiino was a fully html4 browser with image and https support yet it was only 600k, opera is about 3.2mb on symbian devices, while well, minimo is 25mb :-)
that said, i cant wait for my zaurus to arrive, i have actually had dreams about using it this week, my and cf wifi card arrived today ahead of schedule :-D. mmm images of sitting in the garden, ssh and irc open, playing mp3s over wifi from the house, taking in the sun and reading gllug :-)

Sorry :-), i forgot to login, that was me :-)
-
:-) You\'re being too nice for this thread, it\'s pure hate and \'competitor-bashing\' in Flame Wars. I\'m going to be nice and not flame. :-) LOL!
-
righty then, what i absolutely hate is the fact that everyone except hp/compaq seems to want wince ONLY on thier machines, they go out of thier way to make otherwise open platforms impossible to use linux on, wince is crap, crap crap, and more crap, it is a real hack, and why oh why does it have to be on everything, pocketpc2002 is the same shit as wince. just with more pics, its a nasty mess and is totally non-accessibility friendly, plus, and this is the one that makes me laugh, there is a licence, you have to agree with it. sooo, if i dont agree, i cant use the pda. kida stupid, monopoly!!!!
-
yes, yes, YES! That\'s better, I knew it was within you ;-)
-
Where\'s the malice, hate or trebuchets?
Uh oh. I thought that YOU were bring them. Was it my turn again?
..... you need to fuel it with rage and spite!
Well, I, for one, am going to put on gloves, in that case. (G)
While we\'re waiting, we could always discuss this new toy that a friend of mine out in Seattle emailed me about.

====================================
That ought to keep the kettle on a slow boil till the malice, hate, trebuchets, rage & spite arrive.
Oh, evil is so much more FUN than *good*! (G)

heh, i bet someone will have linux on it the day before it turns up in dixons ;-)

I guess I am just the only one still over the moon with malicious spiteful glee that the Clie is dead, I think there are Clie 'closets' hanging around here.
I'm buying up old ones to lay in my yard and do a sweet merry jig on them.
Where are the bloody 'twisted' emoticons on this new damn site????
This new bland sissy selection cannot convey my emotional swings and violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:pulling an evil twisted face:
-
NICE avitar, your evileness!!

With the Clie dead, that means it's a Prime hacking platform |-}
I'm gonna find somebody to pay me to take one, then I'm gonna use it to build a ballista to bring back to flame wars lol

Whoops didn't sign in
I should note that I intend to run one of the experimental palmOS linux kernels to see how badly I can trash it.
