Need help with 3COM Audrey

[Terrapin]

I am about to receive an Audrey that I bought cheap on clearance. I will likely have a bunch of questions once I get it so I was wondering if anybody here had one. My goal is to hack it into a wireless web tablet but that may take some time.

My best lead is the new D-Link DCF-650W Wireless Compact Flash adapter. But that is a left field idea. Part of my goal is to keep this as cheap as possible.

Thanks for any replies.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It was a failure at $500 but now these things are going for $50-$60! A touch screen interface with a CF slot and USB slot... its gotta be useful for something(?).

I guess this points out how important it is for these companies to make a product that people can fiddle with. If they can build a community of creative people around their products then they will last longer. IMO.

If anybody knows anybody that has one of these things or has any ideas then please let me know.

TIA

On a side note, I bought one of these as well, they had a fire sale for 3com employee's and my GF got one for $50 :-D

Looks kinda cool. But its really useless, at least in my mind. If it was like $50, I would buy one just to have one http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif.
