Home / Web Pads / Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT I want to get into hacking these....

GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile I was at the local surplus shop yesterday and just discovered these gems. They are like the Fujitsu Stylistics but with much better TFT active matrix screens. The owner offered it for $275 and had 6 left. I can get all six of them for $1200 ($200 each). I really want to get into hacking these, esp because of the possiblity of using the ZV port to play DVDs on the active matrix screen. I need six people to get in on the group buy and I can purchase these. First 6 people to reply. Here are the specs: Intermec Norand Pen*Key 6622 AMD X5 processor at 133 MHz Large 8.4" TFT active matrix color VGA display with up to 65,536 colors touchscreen can be operated with either finger or stylus (analog resistive) 32MB RAM 1 GB hard drive 4Mb IrDAŽ communications Integrated desktop stand, Sound Blaster PRO Dual Battery Packs Ports: 1 PS/2 for Keyboard, 1 Serial, 1 Parallel, 1 External Speaker Connection The overall dimensions are much smaller than the stylistic From what I can observe it uses same ram as the stylistic (EDO SODIMM) ofcourse couldn't get inside it =). It has integrated keypad on the right side of screen. The touchscreen works with my finger. Winamp runs fine. Those interested please email me at bsingh@purdue.edu 06-20-2001 10:52:34

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scybuch Profile Are we sure it has a ZV port, I didn't see anything about it in the spec sheet.? Steve 06-20-2001 12:56:00

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) Drogue_Anathema Profile The TFT screen sounds attractive, but I'm put off by the fact that it's only a 586. Also, as another poster pointed out, the wife factor is an issue. The other day as I was working my 1200 (adding heatsink) she actually asked me how many computers I need. As if there is some arbitrary limit! 06-20-2001 15:55:08

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile **** GROUP BUY OVER **** Got 6 people. The gentleman said he may be getting some more off of corporate lease contract next month so other people can set up a group buy. Will go buy units tomorrow. If someone backs out I will post.

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) cyberhh Profile I just got a 6632 - P-120, 1.6gb hdd, 32 ram, tft, dual batteries and ac adapter with software installed (95) - let me know if anyone wants one and I will see how much they are. 06-20-2001 19:46:50

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile I might be interested if the price is a little lower. I like the fact that it's a pentium processor in that one compared to the AMD. I'm guessing battery life on these is great considering it holds two of them? 06-21-2001 04:59:08

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scybuch Profile I am also interested as long as it has a ZX port and 2 pcmcia slots. Steve 06-21-2001 06:21:40

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) Hippiewan Profile | Email Would be interesting in 6632 depending on price of course. Not a rich man and even less so now that I found this board! 06-21-2001 08:14:29

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email I'm intersted in either 6622 or 6632. It's good that the 6622 plays mp3s unlike the similarly powered CF-01. Probably due to the built-in sound card vs the PCMCIA solution for the CF-01. How do the feel as compared with the Stylistic 1200? Look like they're a 1lb lighter ! 06-21-2001 08:57:14

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Just measured the Stylistic and it's really close, 6622/6632 seem slightly (26 vs 28cm) narrower. As for battery life, my guess is that it's not as "good" as on the Stylistic 1200, since it's got 2 10.8v/1,350ma vs 1 10.8/3,900ma, so that's about one third less ! 06-21-2001 09:01:04

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) JunkLeo Profile From the manual: http://www.intermec.com/manuals/61028103/61028103.htm One battery pack Approximately 0.8 to 1.5 hours Two battery packs Approximately 1.5 to 3 hours No wonder 1200 is so heavy becasue of its battery. 06-21-2001 10:01:55

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) JunkLeo Profile BTW 6632 is my first choice before I bought CF-01 and 1200, it has sound card, TFT screen, and the screen cover(or stand), but the auction of 6632 was $399 on eBay (not the crapping one w/o battery charger or AC addapter currently). So I perfer to buy a new CF-01. I bought 1200 because it is so cheap (thanks for reldridg and jim again). Now should I buy another 6632 after I bought Gateway 6400? Maybe not. But I think it is a very good choice for people who have no 1200 and the price is under $200. 06-21-2001 10:17:39

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Yeah it seems like half of 1200's weight is in the battery ! Judging by the manufacturers numbers, I'd estimate 6622 life to be around 1/1h30 max while browsing the web wirelessly or playing mp3s. Not sure you can do both at the same time though. The 1200 is rated at 4/5 hours and it gives about 2hours. I don't have the CF-01 but some have reported a battery life of 45minutes under similar circumstances instead of the 2/3 hours per the manufacturer. It seems you can pretty much divide battery life by two to get real life numbers PS - ne1 know what the CF-01 battery's amps are ? Can't find the exact number but it's probably in the 2000ma zone. 06-21-2001 14:13:39

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) Greenspark Profile The 1200 is rated at 4/5 hours and it gives about 2hours. Try not to extrapolate on anecdotal data. I get 4 hours out of it easily. Sometimes I don't charge it for days and only use it sporadically and it holds the charge fine and still lasts. Hook it up with an ethernet PCMCIA card for web browsing, still haven't gotten a wireless setup. Also, estimating battery life on a 6622 when you've never seen one isn't a good idea. Is there a reason you've switched ID's? 06-21-2001 14:27:05

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Still you old aggressive self eh ?! I'm not extrapolating, I'm using anecdotal evidence based on user experience and battery ratings. Do you have a problem with that ? PS - Congrats on noticing that I've changed my ID from yellow1 to yellow2...nice detective work ! 06-21-2001 14:39:49

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile We have one more spot left on the group buy if anyone's interested since someone has backed out -- email me at bsingh@purdue.edu. Vik 06-21-2001 21:06:50

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile Alright we're full again. I didn't know group buys were this much work... Gotta let someone else do it next time =) 06-21-2001 21:33:55

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) kenkahn Profile | Email cyberhh: i'm interested in one. can you let us know how much it'll be? need to get rid of the 1200 first. thanks. as for the battery life, you guys should remember that TFT screens drink more juice than DSTN. 06-22-2001 00:07:38

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email cyberhh - got any info for us ? 06-25-2001 09:13:17

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email some info I found comparing 6632 and 6622 http://www.pencomputing.com/archive/PCM24/norand_penkey_6632.html 06-25-2001 13:06:58

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile OK we are almost ready to buy but one person again hasn't sent money so email me at bsingh@purdue.edu asap if you want to get in on the group buy. I will probably end up buying on wednesday. 06-25-2001 14:57:01

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Don't know if you're referring to me, but since the models of the group buy don't come with the adapter/charger, I'm still trying to locate an alternative power supply that will fit in the proprietary AC connector of the 6622 and be properly spec'd to recharge the batteries safely. 06-25-2001 15:48:32

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) scarface Profile OVER now, don't email.. No I wasn't referring to you yellow2 -- there's another person that backed out I already had you covered with someone... man these group buys are a lot of work! Vik 06-25-2001 20:12:24

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Oh well, pity we weren't able to clarify this AC Adapter/Charge issue. I hope you guys figure a way of connecting it and recharging the batteries. 06-25-2001 23:41:58

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) cyberhh Profile Sorry guys, they blocked this site at work - the buy is $300/ea Qty 5 - ie $1500.00 total - I am going to try to get it lower. 06-27-2001 15:00:32

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email Not bad, but lower would be even better ! And it's complete ? 06-27-2001 19:20:03

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) tcbordp Profile Cyberhh: I might be interested in one of those if you get them. Would be nice to know what comes with it and what kind of condition they are in. PeteB 06-27-2001 23:11:16

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) kenkahn Profile | Email cyberhh: it would be great if we can get it for around 200 (wishing). if you get an answer, please let us know. a different thread would be great. thanks. 07-06-2001 00:02:38

RE:GROUP BUY: Norand Pen*Key 6622 TFT (modified 0 times) yellow2 Profile | Email cyberhh - any update on the price for the 6632 ? 07-27-2001 16:16:35
