7h3kk1d Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Well wih any web enabled cell phone you can access the internet anywhere. You don't necessarily have to go with a phone as beefy as the droid(even though it is great). I don't see why you really would want to hack the droid for your needs though unless you wanted tethering or something. You are correct about the zipit only allowing accesss in wifi hotspots but I'm not positive but i think the z2 may have adobe flash in the browser which to the extent of my knowledge the droid does not but should get it sometime next year. My advice is get some web phone not necessarily the droid but a web enabled phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSuperman Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 ...but I'm not positive but i think the z2 may have adobe flash in the browser which to the extent of my knowledge the droid does not but should get it sometime next year. Huh? Are you saying the stock Zipit Z2 comes with a web browser? Or once you flash it and install debian it does? I think you are getting your wireless devices confused. There is no way that the Z2 can support flash. There is not enough RAM to run a full fledged web browser (swap is used heavily). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaik Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 i would go with the droid i actually want to buy one very soon.... u can also go with iphone or something or any web enabled cell phone and u also have to check your network and the data plan and stuff like that.. but for ur question i would really go with a droid. and i dont know what do u mean by hacking it??? what do u want to do it ????

VaKo Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Android is pretty nice, and it would be far more useful than a wifi-only device (trust me on this as the owner of many PDA's, a Nokia N810 and an iPod Touch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
