If I wanted to buy the PAWS A1200, I'd be a bit concerned that there's no photo. I mean, the guy selling it has a rating of 303 but can't take a photo of an item worth so much money?

Well, he did offer some photos if emailed about it.
On the whole though, it is a bit odd.

How upgradable if the PAWS? Slap a PPC (+cooling)  in there and that would be a very nice machine.

That PAWS offering seems very dodgy...no pics....ridicilous starting price, and not the slightest grasp of using html tags in the discription....

Do you know how much power that would draw!!! I imagine you might get 12mins of use from the batteries... at best :-D

Well, at least the PPC would not have time to melt the system.  :lol:

Sorry to correct you here lempkee, but you can use tags and symbols, you just cant use the UI to do it. Im sure theres a page telling you all the symbol codes for the smilies, and URL links, etc.. some of it is similar to plain HTML, I guess ebay works in a similar fashion? but I dunno...

IMO everyone should know the basics of HTML, its dead easy :-)

Who said anything about batteries, anyhow?  As far as I know, the PAWS system has no batteries.  It's just a really bulky black case with a TFT display and adaptor card in the case.  You install an A1200 into it, and that makes it into something like a modern day luggable SX64.  Portable, but needs to be plugged in.
