O2 Joggler - £50

[katg]

anyone done anything unusual with their's yet?
Sitting here coding a custom UI for it atm and just considering if i need to buy another...
One for the Car is my favourite application for a second one atm, but still not sure, maybe a separate monitor and pc would be a better option albeit at around 3 times the price, then could separate it to the glove box with a dock-able dash mounted screen

out of stock.

is this seriously worth it!?

I've popped the imagine of stephenford.org's website on a 4GB memory stick ready for getting my joggler tomorrow.

I followed his steps on the website and now when I put the memory card into my Mac or PC, no partitions show up or anything - is this correct?

I've no idea what's inside his image or even if it works until I get my joggler tomorrow!

 

[katg]

not tried looking at the stick my self in windows, but as far as i'm aware you should be able to see a small 10mb (ish) partition but nothing else in windows, as the other partition is ext3, although you might be able to see both in mac, not a mac user expert though

Not sure how you did it, but the linux instructions in your mac terminal should work a treat

Damn, out of stock.

After reading that you can load android onto them I was gonna buy two of them

i knew someone had android booted but i didn't think it had come to anything (a fully working release) going off what i have read on joggler.info anyhow

Its a 1.4ghz touchscreen netbook, running linux what more do you want for £50.

In standard form as an internet radio its worth it imo.

Damn, out of stock.

Have you seen the youtube vids? It looks slow.

 

[*JimmyJ*]

Got one for sale for £80

 

[Alastair.]

out of stock boooooooooo

 

[PinkoCommie]

Still out of stock :-(

I wonder if their decision to discount it heavilly is based on the fact that O2 are starting to sell the Dell Streak on the 4th June and they want to get rid of their back-stock of Jogglers?

edit: After speking to someone at O2 I've resorted to phoning round the local O2 stores and seeing if they are in stock.

I don't know many netbooks that don't have a battery and need to be plugged into the mains.

If it wasn't for that I'd definitely get one though.

Yea, there is also going to be a BT product that will be competing against it, and looks to be superior over it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7724240/BT-to-launch-tablet-computer-to-rival-iPad.html

 

[DeeKay86]

I take it the jogglers are still out of stock

 

[Rich-D]

looks like it

 

[PinkoCommie]

As they are still out of stock, and none of the O2 stores i have rung have any stock at all, I've been looking at the iPad knock offs that are starting to come out of China and other similar stuff.

A couple of them actually look OK. Especially that first link.

My choice of an 'ipad' replacement product would be the joojoo, although it's a bit more expensive than a cheep Chinese copy, it has alot more functionality;

I just need to get saving now!

 

[PinkoCommie]

Those cheap chinese copies are all running either Android or Ubuntu, so all the functionality you would ever need.

A work collegue has been trying to get hold of a Joggler as well, it would seem that they are not getting any more stock of them into the UK because Openpeak have stopped making them (the Joggler is actually an Openpeak Openframe) so it looks like they were dumping stock.

This appears to be its succsessor. Looks quite cool, but I don't think it'll be anywhere as cheap. :dapprove:

I'm going to do some reading into those Chinese knockoffs and see if they are actually worth it.

I would not waste £319 on a JooJoo, there will be much better Android OS tablets available soon.

 

[DeeKay86]

after lookin in to JooJoo, no thanks. not bad though!

Will now wait for the new Windows tablet Ballmer was bangin on about!

I only want what i paid for it

 

[PinkoCommie]

Thanks to The_Gman I now have one of these and have got Ubuntu running on it.

It's not a bad little machine, I didn't realise they were dual core 1.3Ghz o_0 Thats more powerfull than my last but one PC, it's silly how much bettr technology gets.

I'm quite liking Ubuntu as well, I might stick it on my desktop as a dul boot option to have aplay.

 

[Gavin.]

glad your enjoying it dude, my dad still has his with ubuntu running on it. he loves it with spotify on

To be honest, get an eBay account and buy one. I really doubt you'll find it elseware.

OR

I can buy it off eBay for you, and you can pay me a £20 finders fee!

 

[PinkoCommie]

I've recently managed to get Android 2.2 (Froyo) running on my Joggler. Works pretty nicely. Certain things don't work (flash being one of them :dapprove due to it being an x86 system, but it works well enough for a bedside browser/media player.

ebay's pretty much gonna be the only place now. They don't produce them any more, they were produced only for o2 based on the OpenPeak OpenFrame 7. When o2 dropped the price to £50 they all went in about 10 mins flat, which I suspect was o2's idea, they probably had a s**t load sat in a warehouse taking up space, as no-one would buy them for £100+.

I know you said don't show you an e-bay link, but these guys have one on there, so give them a ring and they might be willing to sell you it over the phone.

 

[Scrooge]

If I plugged my Three usb modem in it, would it work?
