OTHER MOBILES


Sporting a 256,000-colour OLED screen, the Wizpy looks like any of of number of would-be iPod killers, and all the media playback features - MP3, Ogg, AAC, DivX and JPEG formats supported - are all present and correct. There’s a radio on board too and a text viewer.
However, the 60g, 8.4 x 4.2 x 1.2cm device also has a suitably tailored version of Linux on board ready to run browser, email and office software. Just plug it into a PC’s USB port, restart the host machine and it’ll boot up into the open source operating system so you can surf and work and be sure nothing’s being recorded on the hard disk. With battery life claimed at 10 hours. It’s only a prototype at the moment
As yet, the Wizpy’s only due for a Japanese launch, and it’s not going to be available until February next year.
