what would you put in something the size of an original walkman

http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/07/17/what-would-fit-in-th.html

a terabyte hard drive (we have no need for a 2.5" in this form factor, so go nuts!)

bluetooth

802.11b/g/n

coupla USB ports

a HDMI out

an ARM processor running android or chrome or some sheeat

a polymer LiIon battery the same size as the block that clips on the side

just look at that beautiful orange button! why don't more things have orange buttons like that?

yeah, the orange button's quality.

i think it's still a lovely looking gadget.

someone should bring back that chunky-ass industrial design.

it looks like a little landrover with buttons.

i love old walkmans

walkmans are awesome

i had one of these, no joke

it had a perspex panel at the back, and big coloured gears you could watch turn.

actually gadget-hacking one of those would be fucking awesome

at least it's got rewind on it. my first walkman was made by Elconic and only had fast-forward.

that orange button is nice, yeah. one of those buttons you just (have to) press for fun

Most ejaculatory thread.

a device that cancels out rape alarms and replaces it with a kind of dog whistle that only other rapists can hear, calling them to come and join in.

You forgot a screen? They've just had a nice breakthrough on OLED energy efficiency and light intensity over at KAIST.

Personally I'd run a BSD or maybe Ubuntu. ALthough it probably wouldn't take much work to port DSL over to it.

But why the fuck you'd want to carry around something that big is mind boggling.
