After a few hours my initial thoughts about the market for this device have been somewhat narrowed.

I like the hardware a lot.
I like the OS.

I need more time to make my mind up about the user interface and target market for the Pepper platform.

I’ve seen one of the reboots you mentioned.

I received my PP3 on the 10th, and I’ve been playing around with it for a couple days now. (I ordered the white one on purpose, and I read today on the Pepper forums that the black ones are in high demand, thus scarce.)

So far my feelings are mixed. I have experienced multiple spontaneous reboots, and hangs requiring manual reboots. It gets uncomfortably hot while charging. Also the battery level indicator seems inconsistant to me.

Other than that I like it a lot. The page load times are nearly as fast as my desktop PC. The wifi works flawlessly. The split thumb keypads work very well for text entry. As I write this I’m sitting in an internet cafe and I would have to describe the experience as pleasant. I can see myself happily using my PP3 for a long time, as long as it stops randomly hanging.

I’m hearing you!

Just fired up an Xterm and kicked of SSH to see whats going on inside this baby! RedHat. 2.6 Kernel.

Have got to finish the i7210 review first though before I get too distracted.

Steve.

Stop your yammering and get reviewing that PP3!

Its a great camera for sure.

I just wish it had a hot-shoe or remote flash socket.

I’ve got that same camera. It’s pretty amazing!
