It is a very nice screen. and it seems like a well designed peice (ergonomicly speaking). Ive been doing a lot of reading online (various forums mostly), and Ive read that sony does have a SDK, but its $25,000. Ive also read that there are devices being designed for it (neet things, like tv tuner, keyboard, ...) The hardware specs are pretty sweet, it really just needs apps to take advantage of it... CPU 333mhz 4M ram wifi IR Memory Stick (duo, extra expensive...) UMD (simular to mini-dvd, holds 1.8gb, proprietary) Many buttons, and a joystick for input (could use a touch screen....) Stereo Sound USB (I think this is really only works for putting stuff on the memory stick...) The video has its own 166MHZ cpu, and 2 M ram and ofcourse a sweet 4.3" 16:9 Display From what I can tell, it will run "games" from the UMD, or memory stick I wanna seem some games like: "surf the web!" "check your email" "slashdot ticker" "instant messanger" and one of my personal favs: "Secure Shell" Ive also read that the memory sticks with "magic gate" have some sort of copy protection mechanism, I wonder how that works, and if it prevents non-sony programs from being run on these cards? BTW, another web browser is already in the works, it will be released with the korean debut... hopefully there will be a download after its released... Jamie : : : Short form: The processor is MIPS, and probably whatever exploit has been : used to use the memory card to bypass the SCEA license on the discs has : been fixed. A new one must be found. Once that happens, probably a Linux : disc booted from memory stick will happen, and hopefully, more usefully, a : smaller framework designed to stay out of your way as much as possible for : writing games in your basement if you want to.. : : _______________________________________________ : EUGLUG mailing list : [email protected] : http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug -- People disagree with me.
