The Pepperpad web-pads are not Origami-spec devices. In fact, they dont even run Windows. They are Linux devices aimed at home use. However, having said that, they provide a huge amount of functionality and also include a consumer remote control. Sofa heaven!
At the moment, Pepperpad are selling off stock of the current model to make way for the new one resulting in some attractive discounts.
The current models are being sold off at [url=http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecsplash/shop/detail~dpno~645660.asp]the ecost website[/url] for $499 which is a nice discount over the normal $800 price. In addition, the new Pepperpad 3 can be bought for $500 if you already have an existing Pepperpad. You just need to give them the serial number of the original Pepperpad for a $200 discount.
The new Pepperpad 3 is upgraded and runs an AMDLX800 processor (like the Vega that has been announced) which, being a standard x86 processor, can potentially run a huge amount of existing Linux software. It has Bluetooth, Wifi, 7″ screen, HD, the mini keypad and is available in silver, back and PINK!
So the trick is to try and convince your friend that you can get them a Pepperpad for free as long as he buys a Pepperpad 3 for you!
$500 ultra mobile PC (-like devices) are here!
