[edit] Notes
- Socket Services 1.0 is built in
- very primitive Card Services is provided
- The 1MB/2MB internal memory should be mentioned.
- The windower / task swapper should be mentioned.
- The productivity applications should be mentioned.
- For the time (even now), I'd consider a lot of the functionality to be quite revolutionary. Apps like the database functions, the macroing, the calculator and the spreadsheet could all be bound together in subtle ways.
- Overclocking past 15.8 MHz is possible with a different kind of crystal. There even a special driver out there.
- I wonder if the overclocking topic mentions the old 8086 crystal overclocking concept.
- The "chicklet" keyboard should be mentioned, as it was truly revolutionary. This style allowed for a smaller keyboard while maintaining good useability even with big-thumbed people.
- Various kinds of modding projects exist.
- More internal memory
- This internal memory can be converted to emm. It's a pretty big deal actually. It's useful for running the bulkier applications.
- Backlighting
- More internal memory
- I have a metric assload of notes kicking around.. not just on my own website but on paper. I should consolidate it all, but it's slow going.. especially since I'm not really using the thing right now, even after buying a compact flash card. Sigh.
- Cousin palmtops which should be mentioned at least in passing include:
- Minix: http://minix.technoir.org/
- CGA-compatible FTN liquid crystal: 640 x 200 pixels
- Two layers of zoom (fixme: describe the sizes). This zooming was also available in the window manager.
- 80x25, ?? x ??, 40 x ??
