Eberhard beobachtet (neben dem in unseren Breiten momentan tatsächlich in Unmengen zugegenen Schnee) die schrittweise Linux-Adoption japanischer Allelektromanufakturen. Sollten dabei weiterhin ähnlich formidable Geräte wie Sonys FSV-PGX1 entstehen, so soll das nur gut und recht sein.

Radio UserLand wird mir täglich unheimlicher: Monsieur Blendoboxens RSS-Feed hat dutzende neuer Entries, das Log selbst zeigt davon nichts. Kombiniert mit den sich häufenden Reports irreparabler Datenbank-Schäden lässt das nur hoffen, dass jeder Radio-Freund auch ein solcher regelmässiger Backups ist ...

'Die Wiener New-Media-Agentur Knallgrau, bringt mit "twoday" Weblogs nach Österreich [...]' — Zeit wird's. Erwartet man sich zu viel, wenn man solcherlei schlampige Formulierungen gerade in diesem Umfeld nicht erwarten würde?

berechtigte kritik chris! jeder wie er mag. belassen wirs dabei. (ja, da stand vorher was anderes. nicht relevant, zahlt sich nicht aus)

Versteh ich nicht:
"dass eine Zeitung immer exakt das schreibt, was du von ihr verlangst",
die Pressemeldung mit dem Passus "weblogs nach Österreich" stammt doch wohl von Knallgrau, diesen Eindruck wird zumindest hier http://www.knallgrau.at/presseaussendung_05_02_2003 vermittelt.

ändert natürlich nix dran, dass twoday rockt und ein wichtiger schritt auf dem weg zu helmatischer world domination is ;-) den leuten von medianet und futurezone muss man halt offensichtlich in zukunft eine gebrauchsanweisung zur pressemitteilung dazupacken ...

Das sony ding ist sehr nett, aber 20Gb sind heutzutage viel zu klein (mein 20Gb iPod war ratz fatz voll). Mein MacOSX Backup musste ich wieder loeschen.

I'm curious about the Sony thing that Eberhard (and others) have mentioned. As usual, I don't quite get it. While wireless makes some sense to me between things like a camera and a computer, and while I would love to have a wireless offload from a Camera or a GPS to a 20Gb size disk, I don't think I'd have much other use for this kind of device unless it's _real_ cheap. I'd expect to get a full computer with a 20gb disk and a small, but real, screen for $600 -> $800 and the prices I've seen on this Sony thing put it at Y70,000 or so---so the economics just don't add up to me.

The bummer is that it has a 20 GB disk only, as Stephan mentions. For me to buy a device like that, I'd want it to have - for all practical purposes - unlimited bytesupply (~ 100 GB for me personally at the moment - that should be enough for two or three years at least, unless of course the sudden need to carry my videotheque around with me arises).

I guess 100 GB devices will come sooner rather than later. April? May?

The thing is that Sony's Clié PDA now have 2MPixel cameras built in, so, where to store/share the data? The separation of the disk from the "terminal" reminds me of car stereos, where you also have a CD juke box in the trunk separated from the panel. Same with ad-hoc networks, PDAs can stay as they are, and don't have to be eveolved into full-blown "shrinked PCs". The server also is cheaper than a Clié NZ90 handheld, by the way.

To Eberhard's point, I have had a Canon 3.3megapixel camera and an iPAQ 36xx for a couple of years now. And my 1GB CF disk serves for storing up to about 1000 pix without any external power. And it's trivial to move around in either a CF or PCMCIA slot. Admittedly 1Gb is no 20Gb, but for the camera/pda/compuer bit it not only works fine, it has been around _forever_. That's why there seems to be less here to me than meets the eye. I guess what I don't get is the value of the `wireless' thing, in my situations it's _always_ easy to run a one meter RJ45 cable if I need to `hook up to a net'...
