  1. Recently I picked up a #Psion NetBook Pro.

    This thing is a bit of an oddity. Unlike the rest of Psions products, this does not run EPOC OS. Instead, it runs #WindowsCE 4.2, which means it's treading close to #PocketPC territory!

    This thing has a much more premium feel than the Windows CE based budget Sylvania #SmartBook that I previously posted about.

    It's difficult to find a good curated archive of Win CE 3.0+ programs. Most archives are 1.0 and 2.0 and are not compatible with this device.

    I finally found a single archive and its a treasure trove of programs and most of them are compatible with this device.

    If anyone else has one of these or any other Windows CE style laptop, please post about it below. I would love to hear about it and see pictures of it.

  2. I have had the #DungeonCrawler 'The Quest' on my steam wish list for years. I don't know why, I've just never got around to purchasing it.

    I didn't realize that this game started life on the #PocketPC. It is now running on my #WindowsCE #SmartBook at a glorious one frame a second.

    While this game looks wonderful, this device is woeful. 😂

  3. I have been looking for a Sylvania #SmartBook for some time & finally got one!

    These are such interesting devices. One part 90's H/PC, one part 2000's #PocketPC & thrown into a #NetBook form factor.

    It's a strange hybrid device of form and function.

    I can't wait to tinker around with this. Since it runs on ARM and #WindowsCE I have heard there are ways to load pocket PC programs on it, though they may be unoptimized.

  4. In the lead up to #ALTA2024, we're highlighting excellent talks and papers from previous ALTA events.

    Here, listen to a #Keynote presentation from #ALTA2023 by Professor Heng Ji from #UniversityOfIllinois Urbana-Champaign, speaking to the #SmartBook - an #AI prophetess for disaster reporting and forecasting.

    In this insightful talk, Professor Heng shows us how #NLP techniques provide better decision making tools.

  7. @nipos @meldrian Warum wollt ihr alle das Kamel durch's Nadelöhr zwängen?

    Besorgt euch ein preiswertes gebrauchtes Netbook für 40 Teuro, packt ein schlankes Linux drauf und fertig ist das Smartbook.
