Wow, where to begin? The Seabright PC430 is going to be a, uh... fantastic piece of machinery should it ever exist, though from the looks of it, it may have a bit of an identity crisis. The precious little 4.3-inch Windows CE 5.0 (the photo shows XP but whatever) clamshell's got a 533MHz Samsung 2442A CPU, 128MB of SDRAM, between 1GB and 4GB of flash memory, and a USB 2.0 port on top of a host of optional features (GPS, DVB-T digital TV, WiFi, the ability to tell you the future). The tiny super-computer also boasts an impressive array of mega-hot software like Word, Excel, a picture browser, an e-book reader, paint brush -- the list
literally goes on and on. Oh, we almost forgot -- they've boosted out the keyboard in favor of a more useful D-pad and A, B, X, Y button formation -- which is, needless to say, awesome for playing awesome games. It's unclear if the PC430 will come loaded with said games, but if it doesn't, you can connect a keyboard up and... type stuff. We don't know when (if ever) you'll be able to buy this, nor how much it shall cost, though we have a feeling it's going to be "affordable."

that would be "awesome" for playing "awesome games" what an "awesome product"
This thing looks terrible. How are you suppossed to see the tiny Icons?
That's like running Vista on a Sidekick
for once, i agree with flashpoint. the pandora kicks this dinky little thing's ass in every category!
I love how people think that they shouldn't agree with flashpoint.
he may act trollish occasionally, but he usually has some valid points....cut the man some slack :)
Thanks guys...
We are all amigos here.
Binded by the gadgets.
I am... so confused..... what the hell is going on here.... all of the ideals and logic I have ever known have been evaporated, only to be replaced by doubt and insecurity.
Am I supposed to have underwear on my head?
Wonderful! This thing has a definite advantage over HTC Touch Pro or whatnot: in hostile negotiations (c) with owner of the latter, our fried here, folded, makes FAR superior argument.
I am in concurrence, but only on Tuesdays at 6:09am*
Unless pm.
Why does the sticker say its got a Pentium 4, its pretty hard to mix a P4 up with a 533MHz cell phone cpu.
Samsung Inside? Looks like the marketing department "leaped ahead" of engineering!
This makes my wiener floppy.
Not much use when its only 3.5" anyways.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
that answers my perennial question: do male/male Siamese twins have one or two johnsons?
Depends on where they are attached I presume.
This is like a dumbed down smartphone... without the ability to make calls.
Dumbed down smartphone... = phone? but it cant make calls so... its not a phone and its not smart...
so wtf is it?
You've effectively figured out the punchline.
that looks WXGA resolution... 4.3" with 1200x768... OMG that's the awesomest thing I've ever seen...
they CANNOT get decent mockups, what else can you expect?
will it play Crysis on high details?
Yes. With 4AA, and with no less than 40 fps.
no...but i hear pong is all the rage now
I have a feeling I should write a comment which is, uh, awesome. And affordable.
That will be 0.02 AUD.
No it wil not run Crysis! But it will run your Game Boy ROMs just fine...
Don't forget those SNES roms.
Those are hardly gaming specs.
Maybe for emulation, not even sure about MAME running smoothly on it. Other than that, it has no other gaming potential.
ODD, judging by the picture, youll need a very good external 12 inch screen to see everything
This has "Absolut FAIL "written all over it...
oh the humanity!
What does this have to do with vodka?
Kinda looks like a Gameboy with Down Syndrome... Though it has considerably more power.... Maybe an idiot savant?
ill just stay here with my iphone 3g laughing at this toy
If it ran OSX engadget would be all over it....
Well, yes, if it ran OS X it would be the ugliest Apple product ever produced.
Well, maybe not the ugliest. Close though.
@ Rollins
So what IS the ugliest Apple product, then? I thought they all pretty much looked the same.
eMac.
Not trying to be rude, but apart from style, this thing would probably best the iphone in most categories.
Clak, I'm going to just keep downranking you because I can't directly reply to your comments to insert a smartass remark.
Asshole.
Please don't feed the troll.
I'm not sure..I think I detect the slightest undercurrent of sarcasm in this article?
Anyone care to confirm?
No Jon...
She wasn't laying it on thick at all... not even a little bit. She was just being... "awesome"
I am legitimately not sure.
Why? Thats really the only question.
Who could possibly want this.
call it a Nintendo XPi and it would sell out for 3 years!
designed for toddlers
L0l, that thing r lik3 l3g0!!!1eleven!!!shift+1!!!one What a piece of shit.
Um...hmm...uhh...nope, no idea what this is supposed to mean.
People, people...
I see a use for this !
How about you use this for your torrent downloads instead of using your desktop comp that consumes 250 Watts when idling?
It'll repay itself in a matter of months.
But hey, feel free to bash it. It -is- ugly as hell.
And yes, pandora PWNZ! this. And yes, i ordered one :D
Now that is a valid point. I hate leaving my computer running when all I need is something to keep my torrents going.
"Kinda looks like a Gameboy with Down Syndrome..."
@ aphex I wanted to tell you how wrong that is, but damn it, I'm laughing too hard—
