Post PC device reviewed

BRB. The Pasta Is Boiling Over. - New York Times

Looks like a useful "Post PC" or network device. Esp for tasks other than spreadsheeting, data-massaging, word processing and the like.

I'm not very good or fast with "thumb-typing" but the Rachel Ray generation likely is.


The $699 Pepper Pad 3 isn’t a tablet or a laptop, and it’s far too underpowered to run heavy-duty software. But it has a Web browser and it supports most e-mail systems along with AIM instant messaging. It has better video playback and a faster processor than previous Pepper Pad models and is a bit cheaper. The Pepper Pad 3, the joint creation of Pepper Computer and HanBit Electronics, can be preordered at Amazon.com and eCost.com and will ship next month.

The Pepper Pad has a built-in universal remote for turning on TV’s and stereos, and there’s a kitchen diary for storing recipes and notes. The entire device weighs 2.5 pounds. PC software allows you to stream music and photos from any computer on your wireless network.
