I've decided don't want a Pocket PC. I don't want an iPod either. I want an all-digital Walkman that connects easily to my LAN, using 802.11b. $500. Anyone want to make one for me? I didn't think so.   [Scripting News]
Dave, we need wireless LAN cards to drop to about a $10.00 price point before we'll see that happening. The closest think you'll find to do this right now is Terrapin Mine, but that doesn't have the wireless that you looking for. Shit, wait, it does. But you have to supply the PC card.
UPDATE: No FM reciever built in, but there are a variety of teeny tiny FM radios out there. Besides, I already have the utility belt going, between the cell phone, Leatherman Wave (With flashlight), PDA, and carabiner of keys (which also has a small pen knife/flashlight combo, and an LED flash on the car keys as well). All I need to add is radio, a CD/cassette player, a digital camera, and a bluetooth PAN, and I'm a fully blown Gargoyle.
That Camera (I'm digressing, I know) Is sweet. Blutetooth it into your network connection, and you can upload files directly to your server. Run this in the field with an OQO and you've got your portable editing studio, and broadcasting system all in one. Tie the final/edited files into a p2p system and you've got your own broadcast network, all via the web. Or go gonzo and just have everything running as a video blog, without editorial supervision.
Step out a bit further and start publishing to servers in different countries, along the lines of what Jon Robb is doing with his Italian Blog, and you've got worldwide distribution of your "show" with all of your "affiliates" getting the latest "episodes" (enough with the "quotes", you get it) as soon as they are available. Since you've tied it into your blog, which has an RSS feed, people are automatically told where they can get the latest episodes as a part of their feeds.
