Trouble is it's a glorious intersection of all the really hard problems, with a good keyboard being especially tricky. Just ask the OpenPandora folks 😆 if you can break through the thousand-yard stare.

I had the good sense to preserve the driver, too, back when I had kit to read a floppy drive.

And the normal size keyboard is all turnkey parts slapped into a case with pretty lights.

The apparent lack of an even slightly good mini Bluetooth keyboard doesn’t instil me with confidence tbf.

We got that awesome synth and that awesome e-reader, how do we nerd snipe China into making a new HP Jornada 720?

Me *on a Mac with Safari* Oh my sweet sweet summer child 🤣

Sheriff Labrador be like “remember kids don’t drink water from the toilet” and I’ve gotta ask- is this a credible threat or did ya’ll run out of shit to lecture about?

I started doing this recently, have returned to roughly zero bookmarked items 🤣😭

And mere weeks after I’d retrieved my Palm M500 and Seiko Thumb board from work! 🤣

You could just bookmark and close some browser tabs 🤣

The Gemini was disappointing but I’d probably pick one up now if I could find one cheap 😅 PSION 5 is, of course, one of the all time greats.

It’s a bizarre platform, TTS and voice recognition and CD/radio apps in Windows CE. UI seems to be HTML based and of course there’s no touch input. Runs custom apps though, installed via CF card or CDROM 🤣 Also a news/email/traffic app that afaik never got the hardware to make it work.

Mood! 🤣

@gadgetoid.comOct 17, 2026, 4:32 PM

Thassa beaut! Are you on HPC:Factor? Lots of stuff going down. We’ve ROM dumped the Clarion AutoPC 🤣

Absolutely peak, I miss hardware like this. It has so many features and sockets and ports and the CF card slot is like a cassette deck. It's got a flippin RJ11 jack for crying out loud 😆

It’s not an easy to photograph display, but I’ve got a wireless gdb run & debug setup working beautifully… this is a shiny new RSS reader with web/text views, inertial scrolling, integrated modern TLS, low distraction full screen mode.

A feed reader running in Windows CE on an HP Jornada 720.

Look folks this voice recognition is absolutely cutting edge shit it's hard to get right, ya gotta channel your inner John Wayne

@gadgetoid.comOct 16, 2026, 8:44 PM

I think I need Hugh Laurie

If you're into this whacky shit and/or have some obscure Widows CE devices, knowledge, lore, documentation, CDs, software or other trinkets - discord.gg/g7eppXbEu
