What's worse is that you can get all of that functionality smaller and cheaper in one package already, without having to swap modules.

Nifty concept, but unlikely to succeed.]]>Jan 21st 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Looks very bulky...
So to use some different operations (GPS+display+joystick) - you need to pluging/unpluging that modules?
Yah.
In the near future you can control light and other stuff in your home by your mobile phone, so this thing is useless. But it is very good for programming software and that kind of stuff.

But that's what it comes down to. Size, resolution, performance, features and price. Archos is far ahead of this with the $200 605 WiFi.

Sure Archos is not in the same way open source. But Archos tried with an SDK for the Linux based PMA430 released in 2004, that wasn't a commercial success though.

People want easy access to all audio and video content, and that's simply not possible today with an open source device because of the laws in place.]]>Jan 21st 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/
Also, why is this thing so freaking huge? The iPhones (or any equivalent/superior smart phone) are small enough to slide in a pocket and still manage to do everything this is supposed to eventually be able to do. Thanks, but I'll stick with hacking upgrades into pre-assembled gadgets.]]>Jan 21st 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/bug-labs-store-open-for-business-bugbundle-unveiled-for-549/Jan 21st 2008 5:41PM
