Re: [NTLK] [OT-sorta] kinda makes you think

I love gadgets. All kinds of cool toys. From digital
cameras to this really cool flashlight I just
purchased! (it uses LEDs and has no batteries...you
shake it and it stores the power somewhere. 30 seconds
of shaking is good for several minutes of light!)

So, naturally, I like to see what other PDAs are out
there and dream...
National Semiconductor has created this new line of
devices called "PAD" or Personal Access Device. Most
of them are just simple web terminals. But this new
one, the Origami, seems quite interesting:

I measured my Newt and find that this think is quite
close to the Newt in size (about an inch shorter and
narrower...about the same thickness).
I hope that this device shows some success because I
would like to see similar devices come out to mimic
this device but with enhanced inovations.

Just an FYI as to things you might not know exist...
