UNFORTUNATELY, if you hate someone, you don't care what they are saying. You just look for the worst in them to justify your hate. They could say "I love iPods" and you turn it into an anti-Microsoft hate rant.]]>Sep 11th 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/11/tcls-iopen-081a-no-lipstick-on-this-pig/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/11/tcls-iopen-081a-no-lipstick-on-this-pig/

Now the best way to classify this PDA device is think of the things that the Tapwave Zodiac can do, plus playing all formats of music & videos, playing games, having built in WiFi (instead of having to shell out big bucks for a wifi SD card), having a fully functional USB that can detect USB flash drives, USB hard drives, keyboards, mice, etc, and optionally having an integrated GPS, along with having the common typical PDA productivity tools such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation viewer, ink writer, email, web browser, and PIM (personal information management) functions. It can do all of these functions with the bonus of operating on Windows Embedded CE 5.0, instead of the more quirky Windows Mobile 5.

Unfortunately since most people in America are all driven and attracted to only big brand names, it's only common that most would consider this a cheap POS instead of really looking at how fully functional an item like this can be for them. I bet if it had the brand name of Archos or Apple then it would get a lot of attention and turn heads. All I can say is that most just don't know what they are really missing when they stick to their brand names.

I use this PDA device a lot in the car because i bought mine with GPS navigation and a built in 3.0 MP camera, mostly for quick snapshots. It serves as a great in car navigational entertainment device. When i am not using the GPS I play my huge TV show collection that I have stored on a 16GB SD card.]]>Sep 12th 2008 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/11/tcls-iopen-081a-no-lipstick-on-this-pig/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/11/tcls-iopen-081a-no-lipstick-on-this-pig/http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2112
