Looks like the Zipit Z2 is sold out at local targets. I called 3 of 'em but the stock was gone.<br><br>They're still selling 'em on the site and on eBay at $50, but the $25 *dealzzz* are gone.<br><br>For those of you who weren't at the meeting last night, the Zipit Z2 is a handheld IM device that just barely <br>
missed its market window ( <a href="http://www.zipitwireless.com/">http://www.zipitwireless.com/</a> , ignore irritating music..). Color screen, QWERTY keyboard, earphone jack, microscopic speaker, 8 MB of flash and 32 MB of SDRAM, a new-ish ARM processor, About the size and shape of a GBA.<br>
<br>Hackaday has some instructions for loading your own linux kernel on it ( <a href="http://hackaday.com/?s=zipit">http://hackaday.com/?s=zipit</a> ), and one of the intrepid folks at last night's meeting actually had one which was running fluxbox and connected to the wireless network 'n' everything. Even at $50 I'm sore tempted, but at $25 it would've been a complete no-brainer. <br>
