Microdrive will work better if you install my FAT32 driver. or repartition and format using FAT16 MS camera ships device-specific drivers, and for obvious reasons, none were made for the camera-bearing devices.

[@crypto-logisch]

It’s a modified Palm OS, isn‘t it? (Ex Palm Tungsten User 😅)

[@buitreador]

from NZ90 wikipedia "Over time, a number of these devices have suffered from design defects. In particular, the Sony CCD used had a tendency to fail over time, due to humidity affecting down the bonding substrate used in the CCD assembly. This failure mode affected many other CCD-based products at the time, including the Clie NX80V PDA, as well as a number of Sony digital camera models.[3][4] The LCD displays used on this model also had a tendency to be easily damaged."

[@MrDeelightful]

Remember when Sony innovated? The mainboard for this is beautiful, so densely packed. All of Sony's electronics from around this time that I've seen disassembled had really well designed PCBs like this.

[@noth606]

are we pretending they stopped innovating? Is that the game? Seems boring and dumb to me. You might want to have a look at more recent things actually made by Sony and not the rebranded Chinese OEM stuff, you'll be pleasantly surprised I think, but they often have a pricetag reflecting the engineering that went into them. The sad reality is that most people do not care about technical innovation and high end manufacturing as much as it seems they used to, and Sony needs to make money somewhere since they can't really with their in-house made halo products. They do actually regularly release and sell stuff they don't make money on, but they can because of the mass market things that make up for it. Some things they seem to make just because they can, without any real regard for the profitability of them, like the NW-ZX300 next to my keyboard as I type this. It's not new, but not really old either, but it's what is commonly called a digital music player of the walkman line, the case is machined metal and glass, and every aspect of it is clearly grabbing and reaching for perfection. With the end result making ipods and the like look junky cheap substitutes with embarrassing features and mediocre performance. As you probably worked out I'm a fan as some would call it, of Sony's actual production - and have been for 40+yrs - but I also know the difference between something made by them and something that just has the name stamped on it.

[@jgoulet921]

​​@@noth606True, especially their new Bravia 9 TV, its a sight to behold, no blooming yet extremely bright. The first TV that made me feel like looking through a window. Not to mention my beloved NW-WM1Z (got a good deal), the IER-Z1R as well as their very underrated phone line. Though what i will say is that Sony's corporate structure has become massive, making it more difficult to find who does what (not that it was easy to begin with).

[@Vickyorlo]

@@noth606 I don't know... if all it takes to "innovate" is to release an expensive, high-end version of a device that differs from Chinese brandless counterparts largely by performance and build quality (the NW-ZX300 is a great looking piece of hardware, don't get me wrong), then Apple would be the most innovative company around.

[@Corkoth55]

I have actual nice Sony TVs from Costco and they're wicked nice compared to the crap that people rave about getting on Black Friday at Walmart. Alright, I know I'm setting the bar low there, but mine aren't even OLEDs. You have to spend some real money to see the bleeding edge of tech as it comes out. It's out there. Sony phones are really nice too its a shame they're not in the US.

[@ernestkomu4523]

You may want to check their recent Mark 6 smart phone camera out. The Sony Xperia I mean. Puts even Apple and Samsung to shame while not even doing much in the way of advertising. Many content creators use that for pro-level camera work.

I remember taking it to school and everyone thought it was from the future lol ** what the actual fk is going on here? is this the Twilight Zone?? My dad never spent money on stuff that loses value. no nintendo, no video games, nothing... i worked for everything, starting at 5yo i was "home schooled" which was me going to the shop with my dad to learn about fixing on cars.. i grew up with second hand clothing from good will... all my toys were hand me downs from my older cousins, but we always had food in the house and no credit debt or car loans, my dad put all his earnings into investments basically and didn't even consider reaching into it. what the fk is wrong with everyone in the comment section?? so yeah when on my 16th birthday he bought me a crazy expensive device that would only lose value over the years.. i was shocked. My dad drove a beat down S10 for 20 years bro... and it was already tired when he bought it, we rebuilt the motor on it when i was 7 so he could keep driving the thing. so yeah, i was shocked when i opened it. i think he bought it because he knew i would always remember and you stupid fks in the comments are ruining that

It was the coolest thing ever, I miss the sleek gadgetry of tech back in the early 00's, it felt like gadgets were only going to get cooler and more functional and creative and the future looked bright. What we ended up with was a glass square, and while it's objectively better and objectively a better "UX" it's nowhere close to the aesthetic of late-game clie hardware. God I miss them. RIP

I’ve got in love with pocket PCs and PalmOS, I’ve got my own HP Jornada 540 for Christmas but windows mobile were less better than PalmOS, when I was on high school I had many Treo’s for the 600 line and I remember them as amazing devices, despite modern phones did the same things and better, having a devices in your pocket that can used to make excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, process text on word, connect to the internet, play music and movies on a relative big screen, play 3d games, use maps and many other features on 2005 was priceless, for context in that year all my classmates were obsessed with the Sony Erickson Walkman just because it can play music,
