Description

The listing, Zipit Z2 With Linux User land installed has ended.

To be honest, I got Linux installed on here, but never figured out how to use it. There are other "userlands" one can put on here, including Debian, Ubuntu and others. The one on here is a graphical one.

It works great otherwise. Comes with charger.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer.

Questions & Comments

What is it?

It was a messenger device originally put out for teenagers. When it did not do so well, the makers invited the Linux community to use their device to make a very small computer. It is a very low powered machine. It has an NES emulator written for it, as well as several versions of Linux. It is basically just a very small computer.

is it a computer for kids?

Not any more. It runs Linux, which is more of a geek OS. It is meant more to mess around with. Like I said in the description, I never could figure out how to use the OS I put on there. there are instructions in the links I gave. But as is, it definitely is not for kids

It's a neat little gadget. I was going to put a version of Ubuntu Linux on it, but I never had the time with work and school.

Thanks for more info.. do you know how much storage and how much memory?

Keep in mind this is not an actual PC, it is a small device capable of running a slimmed version of Linux. the specs are as follows:

Screen Size - 2.8 Inches
Internal Memory - 8 mb flash
Has a mini sd slot. a 2gb micro sd card is included as well as an adapter.
Wifi - 0=80.11 b,g

Hope this helps
