Text of the page (random words):
ture this is definitely not a handheld computer i consider it a toy until i ve be able to test it s skills but depending on what it is capable of it might qualify to the robot status and join my robots collection pino was initially a japanese project aiming at developping an open source humanoid robot platform several toys were created based on the pino figure and the one you see here is the latest and the most advanced of those derived product it seems to do quite well as an autonomous humanoid machine yet i still have to see it walk if it is able to and see how it interacts with it s users to decide if i see it as a robot or not as for robots i still miss time to update my robot pages i m planning an update about now discontinued sony robots a few entries about specific robot projects around the world i m not actually abandonning this section but i m aware it looks like it now for the other news first of all i ve updated the collection pages the sharp el 9000 page the seiko ruputer page and the fossil palmos wristpda page are now online with pictures i m not quite done with updates though as there are still missing pages and i keep getting new items getting new items should not stop right now too there s still one more device i should receive from japan and i got word from a kind donator that some more machines should get to me before july last but not least for today a great resource for computer collectors has recently changed name shape and everything the computer collector newsletter formerly a monthly e mail newsletter is now available as a weblog by the cool name of technology rewind i like the steampunk feel check it at http www technologyrewind com tuesday may 30th 2006 help yourself and heaven will help you related topics pocket computers collecting is a bit like waves on the shore alternatively fading away then rushing forward faster than expected what s fascinating captain is that as i ve said earlier i have decided to buy just a few more machines a few weeks ago and just as i ve won a couple of auctions i got the news of unexpected donations for my collection as a side effect as i had also decided to complete the missing pages and pictures in my site i find myself with even more delay to catch up with today s news two new additions to my collection courtesy of research in motion and i m very happy to have these i must confess that during what i call the windowsce and mobile phones era i was not as much interested in what was going on as before shame on me as i ve missed a few interesting things like what was going on in america and more precisely in canada blackberry is today a well known product the brand stands for push mail so that competition products either turn to rim blackberry to licence the blackberry features or and i only think of microsoft here have to come up with a new wanabee standard well there had to be a starting point and what i ve received today is not one but two starting points the earliest two way pager device from rim most likely the first of it s kind for western cellular networks maybe even in the world and the very first product of the now popular blackberry line i still have to test these and of course present them in their new pages but i have already updated my collection page to add them to the list as i was at it i have also updated a few pages with pictures and added new pages casio wqv 10 nec pc 2001 casio pf 8000 casio fx 603p to name some i remember now i should get yet another parcel before july with 2 new devices for the pocket computers collection and a possible recruit for my robot collection i m looking forward to test it see if it qualifies if it does then expect an update to my robots pages soon monday may 8th 2006 rise from your grave related topics pocket computers hehe i really wanted to use this sega video game quote as today s entry s title and now i notice it s the second time in a row i mention death in my titles oh well anyway if one could have thought i d have stopped all activity on the collection and site fronts the past week proves them wrong a few weeks ago i ve won an auction for what seems to be a neat little computer from japan as i m waiting for it to get to france i still have to request shipment yet i wait for a couple more things before i do i ve received a surprise donation from niclas nielsen thank you so much for this donation and for your help with 3 new machines in the parcel in niclas parcel were a fujitsu poqetpad plus an acorn pocket book ii and a sharp iq 7000 the latter may never appear in my official collection list but it quite appropriately comes to fit my organisers sub collection maybe i ve already mentionned it i ve gathered a set of japanese pdas from the pre palm era that i m planning to display as here a side collection some day this small project however will only exist one i ll have completed my main collection site the two other machines in the parcel were totally unknown to me and interesting too dedicated pages with more details will come yeah some day they definitely will next after receiving niclas parcel i ve found more interesting auctions i m currently watching so this means more news in the coming weeks months depending on the time i ll have for updating as for today just a few minor updates added the nec pc 2001 the fujitsu poqetpad plus and the acorn pocket book ii in the list no dedicated pages yet and added pictures for the casio cq 1 and casio fx 190 pictured above there are still a number of machines waiting for their page pictures or descriptive contents i m in the process of progressively updating the missing parts thursday april 27th 2006 no my site is not dead related topics pocket computers as promised in my previous entry over 3 months ago i ve engaged in photography and this has been quite demanding in time money and maybe even health running here and there anyways i m still there and my pocket devices collection is not abandonned today i ve added a few contents to the site short description for 4 machines the casio pf 8000 casio cq 1 casio fx 603p and fx 190 yeah just casios i aim at creating all the missing pages soon even without pictures and hopefully i ll find time someday to take the missing pictures with my newly acquired photographic skills and equipment another news on the pocket systems part is that i may receive new interesting devices soon i won t tell more right now but i m quite excited about some of them stay tuned for more news by may last thing for today i was in london for business last monday sounds cool huh i was in london for business well it s the first time in my life i ve travelled abroad for work and chances are i won t again until a long time anyway back to my story so walking in the streets there i saw a sony data discman for sale in a shop if you wonder what a data discman is check this page from my collection data discmans were early ebooks from sony based on small sized cd roms the machine was apparently new it was sold with a set of electronic dictionnary discs for 40 gbp that s over usd70 sounds quite expensive to me i m not quite sure whether it would sell for that price today on ebay but even if i could have been interested by the set the price was enough to stop me interesting however because thinking of it in terms of feature 70 for an electronic dictionnary is a decent price the size and ergonomics of the dd though are just too dated to fit today s standards for electronic dictionnaries anyway i ll never know how long the device has been for sale there and if or when it will find a buyer at second thought i really wonder why i haven t entered the store to check if they had more oldies i think it was because i was afraid they would all be overpriced if there were any monday january 9th 2006 happy new year related topics robots pocket computers this is indeed my first post of the year so it s the time to wish everyone reading this i know you re there a great year as i wish all the best in other s lives here s a forecast of my own year 2006 as for just now january and even last december for that matter i m turning back to photography i just can t have anything else in mind since i ve taken this decision so i let it be and i ll see where this will go for the moment it s quite exhausting mentally mostly not to be able to think of anything else this will also mean i ll take a break from collecting or at least from hunting buying new items for an undefined period of time back to the forecast after the news now on the news side on the robots front the past weeks have seen the announcement of a new version of the honda asimo robot and the delivery of the first commercially available humanoid robot to the few lucky ones that pre ordered it the mitsubishi wakamaru was announced for commercial release in japan a few months ago and was delivered as expected to the first bunch of 100 customers i should check my sources but this should be accurate it s not actually humanoid as it s running on wheels instead of legs yet it s designed for home use has a pair of arms a head and a personnality that make it the first 21st century domestic fantasy come true in robotics er i m aware the news here is pretty much pointless as i provide no link but i mostly wanted to mention and i could enhance the contents soon on the pocket computers front pc world has put up a few pages dedicated to the the 50 greatest gadgets of the past 50 years this interesting study is available there apart from being very interesting in itself i also mention this as they list the ibm simon in the top 50 items of the past 50 years and they link to my simon page for details worth returning the gesture as they ve requested authorisation before linking great work they ve done too we re back to my 2006 forecast among a whole lot of things i d like to do in my site i d love to work on my computers part a little more maybe also open a larger part in french i tend to think that the time i d spend on my website would be working on a photography site however future will tell there s also my japanese class i should work and the question remains open whether i d continue in level 4 class next year double level 3 and or continue engineering classes that i had left apart this year anyway i ll be interested in reading this in january 2007 as of just now i mostly have to financially recover from a photographic equipment buying craze and wait and work the time it will take to convince myself my pictures are worth presenting or not thursday november 24th 2005 so many things so little time related topics robots pocket computers ok well this title is very clich and i don t even have so many things to talk about however talking about those few things happens late due to many other things keeping me busy until now point is i ve received yet another parcel from japan last monday with stuff for everyone for two of my collections that is robots of the toy breed and pocket computers on the computers front secured a nec pc 2001 pocket computer and a casio cq 1 calculator the pc 2001 is nothing spectacular i guess but it s the first nec machine in my collection i do like nec for having released a gaming system that was a huge hit in japan in the 80 s and early 90 s although nobody else wanted to release that product that was initially developped by another company and for having pionneered the color handheld gaming systems atari released a similar product at the approximate same time but the nec system was a handheld version of their already popular home system which was both clever and technically brilliant i also like nec for being a super calculators manufacturer can t get any geekier i guess so here it is i like nec the way i like casio but nec just did not release lots of pocket stuff i could collect the pc 2001 compares to the canon s xo7 i d say it s approximately the same size sports lots of interfaces but the display only offers 2 lines instead of 4 on the xo7 i should test the machine but then again so little time the cq 1 has a better place in handheld history as being the first multi featured calculator running off batteries thus handheld as opposed to earlier system that required a wall plug to run this means it s a valuable step in the way to portable computers as we know them today we re talking 1976 and the machine s casing has a very typical design that makes it worth having just for it more information on the cq 1 can be found on evan s pda history page now to the robots front i ve received in the parcel a patlabor toy quite big quite cheap looking but cool nonetheless as i was at it i also got a few japanese books about the patlabor series where i ve found lots of visual information on the series mecha design there s actually more news on the robots front as i ve received a robodog for my birthday two weeks ago the robodog is most obviously robosapien s robotic pet just before i ve received the present i had seen a roboraptor a dinosaur pet from the same family for sale in a second hand store found it funny to actually see one there for the first time and even wondered if i should get it a couple hours later a brand new robodog was mine pictures coming soon monday october 17th 2005 3 new calculators from the 20th century related topics pocket computers at least once every year i firmly decide that my pocket computers collection is now as complete as i could have expected and i could stop getting new items most of the times the decision lasts just a few months until i come across that very rare item i thought i d never find or i find any other reason to dive into collecting again last month it seemed that coming back from holidays put me back in the collecting mood at the exact same time i came across a sharp el 9000 auction i ve mentionned earlier in my site that i had once missed an el 9000 from a store in paris and that i blamed myself for that since then well now it s corrected i didn t miss the second one i had a chance to get the sharp el 9000 is apparently the first graphing calculator from sharp contemporary to the casio fx 7000g it features a smaller screen and a foldable wallet casing but my collecting mood didn t vanish bidding on that auction as i was at it i also bid on a casio fx 603p auction i already own a fx 602p which is the first alpha numeric programmable from casio and was very ahead of it s time it seems that casio was aware that the 602 has it s fan even today because they recently think 90 s although i don t know the exact release year yet released an updated version the fx 603p which is quite different from other casio models software wise and feature a 602 like programming language instead i m very happy i found one as it was apparenly not distributed outside japan as far as i know i ll have to test the fx 603p to see how different it is from it s parent calculator but what i can say for now is that except for the black casing one major difference stands in the 2 lines display the 602 just h...
