it does not slice, nor does it dice

however, it does email, web browsing, voice mail, instant messaging and note taking. it is only slightly larger than a cell phone. and speaking of cell phones, it is a cell phone. and all of the things i mentioned can be done from practically anywhere. it has a nickname, the “hiptop” — and you can take a look at one in action over here.

they are not yet released to the public, but there are a handful of them being tested in major and less-than-major cities across the united states. some are being tested in atlanta.

and one is being tested by me right now — i am updating while walking down the hall.

    I’m a little disappointed in the screen. Why does it need one? Shouldn’t it just have a bluetooth chip that’ll transmit the data to the bluetooth chip in your eyeglasses and project a heads up display? This is 2002, after all.

    You lucky bastard! I’m dying of anticipation. Does it live up to the hype? Do you have any idea on when it may get released?
