I fancy a PDA.

I also had a Tapwave Zodiac. Interesting attempt at making a handheld gaming console out of the Palm software/hardware. Shame the games for it were almost all terrible. All I ever used it for was running a cracked copy of TomTom on in the car

Woah... did it have GPS built in??

I never got to try any of the game, it sounded like a good idea at the time.. PDA that is also a portable games machine.. appear to be busy planning meetings in the office - whilst playing Duke Nukem... but it never took off.

Have had a look at the resale of these and crumbs! I hope I'm right about the battery in mine as it seems like they are selling for a few hundred quid now in mint condition.

On Amazon I'm finding four things:

Games systems running android at low resolutions.



Variations go down in price to about £20, but lose resolution and battery capacity as they do. Without chargers.

Micro laptops at over-large prices.

Mp3 players with slightly higher resolution, but no connections.



With a *feature* of being unable to install apps. Also without chargers.

Small but expensive phones.



Again, as often as not without chargers.

Why has no one tried to combine some of these since that Tapwave?

I'm just looking for something to scratch that tech itch, which is probably silly, but none of this seems to be getting near to what I'm thinking of.

Sorry what are you looking for again ?

This guy does a load of different hand held and other game systems -

That was quick.

I dunno, something tech, nice resolution, preferably a nice aspect ratio, able to enter, store and retrieve data, lots of connections (like USB or, back in the day, RS232, but standard so any thing can connect). Basically, if I see it I will hopefully know it, but I haven't seen it yet. Needs to be cheap too

A question that answers itself: why has nobody done anything like Tapwave since Tapwave did a massive fail?

Perhaps you want a little laptop?

Nope.

However, if I did I'd be looking at the extra £20 for the 512GB SSD:

I'm looking for a toy, not a serious tool. I'm very probably just wasting time, but that drawing pad thing was interesting for a second and worth a look for the money:
