Which crappy devices should I get?


Which crappy devices should I get?

Postby efortier » Feb 26, 2004 @ 8:21am

I'm looking to get a couple new PPC (only PPC, no smartphones) devices for testing, and I was wondering which one you guys could recommend.

I'm not looking for good development devices, but rather devices that might have known problems or that are causing problems for testing.

I've had only iPaq devices up until now, 38xx and 1910, and they are great for development, but work too well for testing! I need to test my game, my sound mixer and my graphic library.

Is there a device that is both popular and a piece of garbage? I want that! :)

Thanks!

...and so I said to Mr. Gates: "$640 billion should be enough for anyone!"

Thanks Frank and others for your suggestions.

How about a toshiba e330 or e740? I know the 330 has a MediaQ chip in it, but is it any good (or bad)?

IIRC, the 740 was a popular model a while back, so I guess a lot of people has that one.

I'd say the two devices I'm having most problems on lately are Axim X5 Advanced and iPAQ 1910.
