Alright, I've done a little looking in on this cybiko handheld, and
actually think it might have a little bit of promise.
Although the RF transmitter only works for 300 feet, AOL has invested
a great deal of money in the company (Yeah, i hate AOL too)
and they are currently producing a wireless modem for it (due in 2001)
As the system is marketed to teens, hopefully the modem will follow suit with the cybiko
and the other accessories for it that are relatively low priced.
At the very least however, its not a bad deal as it stands for a relatively cheap handheld
that can be used as an internet gateway
. (Check out the FAQ on the site)
The mp3 player is an added bonus that you have to send away for using the UPC, and it only costs 5.99 in shipping and handeling. Whats neat about it is that you can transfer mp3s with friends wirelessly over the RF connection! Cool. (You do have to buy a separate
memory card for it, however)
To get the discount go to cybikowebsite. Its relatively self explanatory (Although you have to sign up to learn how to get the extra 10 dollars
off so that it is merely 90 bucks)
I'd like to know what you guys think of this little thing, there are new programs popping up all the time for it, and a free SDK has already been released.
