Roland Piquepaille sat down with the CEO and CTO of Novinit, the French firm behind the Jackito “Tactile Digital Assistant” (the one you use with just your thumbs). Although the company appears to have realized many of the errors they initially made in the product announcement, there’s still enough tomfoolery to dispell any confidence that I might have that the Jackito’s designers are in touch with the rest of the PDA world (or that they even want to be).
What I still don’t get is why I should have to pay upwards for $700 for a crappy PDA when its major claim to fame is something that could just as easily be done in software on an established platform, like Palm or Windows Mobile. It’s not like you can’t turn a Palm on its side and use your thumbs on it.
