Quote from RedSand: How big is it.
It’s actually quite small. I don’t really have measurements for it
Quote from Cthulhu: How cheap are they?
it was 189.99 total
Quote from DB: But how fast it? Do you have a picture?
It’s fast enough, but not super fast. It’s fast enough for it’s purposes, though. No, I don’t have a picture, but I will take one later.
Quote from Cthulhu: What are some of the other things they can do?Can you browse the internet? Are they touchscreeen? Buttons, where are they?
This thing has got endless cababilities man. Currently, you can’t browse the internet, but there’s talk that that may change in the future. Yes, it is a touchscreen. There’s only two actual buttons. One on the back, which is the power button, and another on the top, which you can’t actually see, which opens the control panel to allow you to change settings, go to music, etc

It runs on Linux. It can do anything, and it can certainly play porn.
Have you SSH’d in yet?

It looks pretty sick. That looks like something I might invest in later on sometime.

Can you tell me why it would be better than, say, a PSP or a Pocket PC?
