Title: The ZipIt Z2 Wireless Messenger
Post by ReeBop on Oct 10^th, 2007, 6:35pm

I read about an interesting new gadget that will be hitting store shelves very soon.

This new device will be much more powerful than its predecessor with a nice color screen. There are mp3 and streaming media features built in as well but I wonder if this thing will be able to play mpeg4 movies. There should be a decent hacking community for this as well as I can imagine it is running some form of Linux. As reviewers get them into their hands, I'll summarize their reactions. This is targeted at teenagers, but if hackable, should be a neat device to carry around. The Z2 will retail for about $150.
