Geoff:

The Avigo wasn't that bad ;o) It was way better than the Helio. Remember that one?

Casio? Bah. 1998 was the year of the Texas Instruments Avigo. Seriously, I wasted so much cash on that thing and I remember thinking the Avigo OS trounced Palm and WinCE at the time. The lack of an SDK (and any reasonable marketing) dug it an early grave.

And yes, it made it onto The Gadgeteer as well.

Then I got a Philips Nino. Those were the days.

Not only do I remember I wrote a comment on the E-10. My batteries would only last for a few hours no matter what I tried. I think I was switching between the E-10 and the Palm III and the Palm ended up winning. I’ve gone back and forth between both for years but now have an iPhone.

Jake:

I no longer have an original Gameboy. I need to try to find one again. I still have the color and the DS… I actually don’t play with either these days. I’ve been using the iPod Touch to play games.

Mark:

If you are sad, why did you switch? )

I just switched from Palm OS to Windows Mobile for the first time since 1996…I am very sad.
