Hardware Mods / C3000 Dis/reassembly
« on: November 11, 2008, 04:37:27 pm »
Bugger. Wish I'd seen this last night. I just opened a 3000 last night to swap the CF card. Ended up de-soldering the strip...

This is a UMPC with Vista OS.
I don't consider this kind of device can replace a linux PDA. I think many people are expecting a new linux PDA to replace our zaurus.
just my opinion.

the only choice you have is how MUCH they stick out. My mercury zonet zcf 1100 sticks out by, er, about five mm... but some are much much bigger. I think there's a wiki entry somewhere.

hmmm, I didn't realise the keyboard how much the keyboard was crippled - in an effort to keep the keys large they cut their number down - even the tab is shared. the one thing we keep coming back to is having a full layout. so, the kohjinsha here:

whilst somewhat bigger does seem so much better for that. sigh. now I can't make my mind up any more. I really wanted to sell my Sony TX2 and trade for a Fujitsu but now...

a nice review with pictures and size comparisons:

I think I definitely one want... so long as it's the full version with bluetooth and wifi, and webcam if possible, and even the 3G data option!
Oh yeah, and wimax, and DVB-T, and an espresso machine

I still have one major question-
don't know if you can answer it though
<blink>
"is it pocketable???"
</blink>
From mockups I've made, it appears that with the standard battery
its just a little too big to fit in my pocket;
however my mockups have hard square edges,
while the real device has rounded and softer ones.
I'm fairly sure it *won't* be a comfortable fit (not nearly so nice as the Z)
but I'm still hanging out a measure of hope that it might barely work.
Can you (dare you?) try fitting it in any of your largest available pockets
to check out the prospects? (maybe after the STD battery arrives...)
OTOH, I should remember that when I've tried pocketable devices larger than a Z
I've been much more reluctant to carry them about- from encumberance.
I'm on the verge of buying a FlipStart
Seems.... rather inferior to a Fujitsu, but more pocket shaped by far.
Logic suggests that one wait for the "next generation" ultra-mobiles
but there seems no real guarantee that "next generation" will be
any more pocket friendly.
yes, thanks for that. perhaps you can simply boot the Fujitsu from a live linux CD and see what devices it finds?
also, very useful to note that the Japanese version is lacking the mini pcie slot, I didn't know that.
so far, apart from the keyboard, I definitely want one! I am hoping they'll be on sale in the USA in time for my trip there end of this month so I can see what they're like and abuse my credit card if they're really as nice as I'd hope!

Yikes! at the price of the toughbooks one could nearly afford to buy eeepcs and use them as frisbees
