Customer Reviews of K-Byte Zipit Wireless Instant Messenger - Charcoal
Good for ssh These are good for chatting on aim, but with some hacking they can have so many other uses. The zipit is basically an ultra-portable text-only Linux laptop. Versions of the zipit with the old firmware let you install a version of Linux with shell access and useful tools like an ssh client. Unfortunately the manufacture broke this ability in the new firmwares and if you want to play with Linux, you need to get out a soldering iron and modify the hardware. Since the makers of zipit chose to use the free software community's software for the zipit, they should let us hack it! That is the true spirit of the GPL.
Great device, just be careful with it
Okay, on the plus sides:
<
>Sturdy feel, lightweight, long battery life, long wifi range, good encryption compatability, lots of IM options, good keyboard.

>It would have been a great gadget 100% except for the fact it has no backlight and it broke in less than a week. It probably would have lasted longer except for a drop off a table onto hard floor. Glass screen (should be using plastic by now) shattered in lower right corner leaving entire right side of screen unusuable. Lid switch also engadges for no reason, causing it to go into standby at random times. Had potential but durability and reliability are a bit of an issue. If you're careful, it's a great product.
KOOL THING
This thing would be the funnest for kids and teens who use AIM, Yahoo, and MSN frequently. I want this because I can go on my MSN when I'm not at the computer. I'm going to Florida (I live in Iowa) and I could keep in touch with my girlfriends and stuff. So kool. only one question that needs to be answered. I have an email address and password with an underscore...how do i do that?
