Star7 PDA Prototype



This little box seems to be quite far ahead of its time. I can imagine that there must be so many futurologist out there just waiting to see their ideas come into the mainstream, and then jump for joy when it finally does!

    Hi..
    Was this box actually developed before JAVA was born?
    Coz if my memory serves me well, these JAVA ppl were making some OS to run on TV which eventually flopped. Could this me a kinda lounge remote they worked on as a secret project?
    I like it.. Pretty cool.

    From wikipdia:
    “James Gosling initiated the Java language project in June 1991 for use in one of his many set-top box projects.[9] The language, initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling’s office, also went by the name Green and ended up later renamed as Java, from a list of random words.[10] Gosling aimed to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++ style of notation.[11]”

    You gonna make one rish? :)
