Talking Anyone else a FlipStart user?
I love mine, using it right now to type this. Carry it everyday at work in a backpack. I mainly use Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to read books. In reading mode (no tool bars), it works well.

Wow.

I'm using a Palm Lifedrive but to read something of more complex I use a Cybook or an iLiad.

Does this thing really exist anymore? The web site doesn't even sell it or indicate that it will ever be in stock again. Looks like it didn't last very long. How much memory does your's have? Running XP Pro or Vista Business on 512M seems like a lost cause. It claims a pentium processor which is a term I haven't heard in a while.

I have read rumors that there will be a 2nd model coming sometime soon. Mine runs XP, I didn't think 512MB would be fun with Vista.

I have always wanted a "real computer" in this form factor. Just a personal taste item. Previously this had driven me to the HP 200lx, which ran DOS 5 in ROM (I ran Windows 3.0 in real mode on this with Word 1 and Excel 2... until I got the Flipstart this was my daily use mobile machine).

I really like the HP 200LX. There is still a following for that breakthrough design. I even put up a wiki page for it to show its place in history. I have a HP Jornada 720 on the way. I am hoping to use it like you do your Flipstart only it is older and on a older OS.
