| 06:37.49 | billytwowilly | Hi, What's happening with familiar? I notice it's been almost a year since the last release. |
| 06:39.19 | emte | being rebuilt |
| 06:41.13 | billytwowilly | oh ok. It looks really cool. |
| 06:41.34 | emte | lol |
| 06:41.54 | emte | what proc do tehy use? |
| 06:42.20 | billytwowilly | intel something or other. I don't own one. I would if they would provide docs to get linux devel going |
| 06:42.44 | billytwowilly | linux almost runs on the super old versions of the axims. |
| 06:43.40 | billytwowilly | The ones that would be really cool to have linux on (ie vga resolution and 802.11b) are running an intel 624 mhz proc, 128 MB rom, and 64 MB ram. |
| 06:44.42 | emte | the pxa? |
| 06:44.57 | billytwowilly | I don't know. Just says 624 mhz intel processor |
| 06:45.13 | emte | cant see it being the centrino |
| 06:45.31 | billytwowilly | has integrated wireless if that helps you discern what processor it is |
| 06:45.48 | emte | and if you work on addin axim supoprt to oe then you can use it :) |
| 06:46.22 | emte | you sure you dont want to learn something useful? :P |
| 06:47.03 | billytwowilly | heh. the opportunity costs of learning that to the skill degree required to flip dell the bird and get linux running on it would be prohibitive |
| 06:47.14 | emte | being an buisness-eco student doenst mean you can learn to program |
| 06:47.31 | billytwowilly | I know, I just have other interests. |
| 06:47.32 | emte | cant* |
| 06:47.58 | billytwowilly | It would just be neat because dell actually prices their pdas closer to a sane level. |
| 06:48.32 | billytwowilly | ipaqs are way out there. |
| 06:48.39 | billytwowilly | as are the zaurus line |
| 06:48.49 | emte | ? |
| 06:49.00 | emte | they are about the same price here ... |
| 06:49.29 | emte | the sl6000 is still pricey but tahts expected |
| 06:51.25 | billytwowilly | the hx4700 is 869. the axim x50 with the same features is 689 |
| 06:52.51 | billytwowilly | should be 400 imo;) |
| 06:53.40 | emte | i can buy a sl6000 for 650 |
| 06:54.01 | billytwowilly | that's an HP handheld? |
| 06:54.05 | emte | pretty sure i saw the h47 for ~5 |
| 06:54.05 | billytwowilly | oh. you mean zaurus |
| 06:54.20 | emte | so am i |
| 06:54.37 | emte | didnt think it was taht much more expensive in edmonton |
| 06:54.47 | billytwowilly | where did you see an h47 for ~5? |
| 06:54.52 | billytwowilly | That's the price on HP's website |
| 06:57.09 | billytwowilly | and will familiar run on an h47? |
| 06:57.34 | emte | hmm cant find a 47 ... they still make them? |
| 06:57.46 | emte | hp has mostly switched to the are series |
| 06:57.49 | emte | R |
| 06:58.00 | billytwowilly | that's the top of the line on their website.. |
| 06:58.02 | emte | stupid autocorrect |
| 07:01.59 | billytwowilly | and the r series will run familiar? |
| 07:02.55 | emte | currently no |
| 07:03.34 | billytwowilly | hmm, but HP has released all the docs necessary to get it to work? |
| 07:03.35 | emte | since HP took over compaq they are not contributing to development |
| 07:03.40 | emte | nope |
| 07:03.46 | billytwowilly | bastards |
| 07:03.47 | emte | HP doesnt release anything |
| 07:04.19 | billytwowilly | So the whole market of windows pdas is basically wasted. |
| 07:04.30 | emte | ? |
| 07:04.42 | billytwowilly | none of the good ones will run a good operating system. |
| 07:05.15 | emte | they need someone to write the kernel drivers |
| 07:05.49 | billytwowilly | hard to write drivers without documentation though right? That was the main problem facing the axim linux guys... |
| 07:05.59 | billytwowilly | I don't know, anyhoo, I have to go to bed. g'night |
| 07:06.40 | emte | night |
