@ryo @lina the concept of a phone is itself stupid. i'd like to have a pda that is a thin client for my home messaging and library, preferably with an e-ink screen.

In my experience, not really.

@ryo it's
- an lcd screen
- power-hungry(consequence of the lcd, though also of a somewhat perverse processor architecture)
- pretty big and heavy
so it's not very fit for that kind of purpose

@ryo it's more power-hungry and big than an ebook could be, you see. eink really does put a lot less stress on the eyes than lcd.

@probablyat Ah, I see.
But yea, you can't really develop software on an ebook, which is what I do while wasting away an hour and a half on trains and I forget to take a manga with me.

@probablyat I don't like it that way to be honest.
I'm just a boomer, so I prefer a real book.

@ryo but you can read a manga on a ebook and also you ought to be able to use irc clients on ebooks really.
