Re: I have one (YOPY that is)

Post #24,519 by dmarker2 1/15/02 7:11:21 PM Reply	Re: I have one (YOPY that is) How does YOPY compare size wise to other ? It looks very high quality (like Sony) whereas the Cassopia looks 'tinny' Cheers Doug M
Post #24,522 by slugbug 1/15/02 7:27:38 PM Reply	size... The YOPY is a good bit smaller and lighter than the Palm, Pocket PC, and the Sharp. It weighs in at 5 oz. My only complaints are the lack of contrast control and some printing issues with the desktop control center component. YOPY customer service has been great though and they expect to fix the contrast and printing issues shortly. And,yes, the YOPY is very high quality. I'm going to try porting some apps to the YOPY via G.Mate's YDK. Did you check out their developer site?

I have been following some of the problems reported (USB failing etc:). Knowing Samsung I anticipated the YOPY would be a very attractive unit. I used to visit Samsung in Korea when doing business with them for IBM (early 1990s). Very impressive company. Cheers - Doug PS I see that the 1GB IBM microdrive works in the YOPY [link\|http://www.ibm.com/storage/microdrive/\|IBM 1GB Microdrive] I guess there will be a bluetooth card too soon. That will enable the YOPY to do wireless internet via a mobile phone - I haven't seen any GSM phone modules listed as available, just a couple of modems.

Just bought an Ericsson T68 with Bluetooth & IRd just to try it out (am in the telecom Internet business). Seems that YOPY at 5oz & with a bluetooth card, doesn't need a phone or modem as it is abundantly clear to me that if I can have a tiny phone that 'talks' to my PDA when I want to access Internet & that PDA runs Linux & can harness the free software movement (I just started looking at GNUMETRIC etc: for YOPY) - seems that an integrated phone may not be what everone wants - reason I am trying so many of these devices is that I may have to prove my worth to my employer re directions we move in. YOPY is 2/3 rds the price of Cassopia - looks better, is more elegant & the software 'appears' thus far to match WinCE2002. Cheers Doug
