Name: Sony FSV-PGX1
Category: PC
Price: Open (but approx 70,000 yen)
Release date in Japan: March 29, 2003
The Gist: You'll be tempted to tuck the FSV-PGX1 into your coat pocket
as you leave the office, since it looks a lot like a PDA or Pocket PC,
but, if you do, you may well stuff up your boss' plans for an evening
of high level meetings with the lawyers. That's because the FSV-PGX1
is, in fact, a wireless handheld file server from Sony -- not an
electronic diary at all. Stick it in the middle of a meeting table,
have everyone sit around it with their laptops, and the FSV-PGX1 will
act as a file distributor -- kinda like a blackjack dealer -- tossing
out the files to anyone who needs to take a peek. There's a 20GB
internal hard disk for storage and it uses the IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi)
standard for file transfer at speeds of up to 11Mbps. Shunning your
regular Windows OS flavors, the PGX1 runs on the Linux 2.4.20
operating system but can, of course, route any file system from any
computer OS. There's a back-up battery, effectively providing UPS
capability if the power goes down via the AC adapter and a neat little
cradle with built-in Ethernet for sale separately.
