It is almost as big as a modern Google Pixel. Can't wait to put batteries into this thing and play around. This is Sony Clié PEG-NR70V/E, a Walkman in the world of PDAs.

I have one of these.,.somewhere. But it's silver. Good luck finding a "memory stick".

Sony memory sticks are compatible with SD cards, IIRC. You just need to find a way to extend the card to push it in and pull it out.

I'm pretty sure memory sticks are (were) narrower than SD cards. But they may be compatible electronically.

That’s a cool design. What do you use if for?

[–] rcmd@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I plan to explore the operating system, it has undergone some heavy design changes from Sony. Currently the device has no battery and it lies on the shelf as a display piece, but later on could film some videos maybe. Just need to gain more confidence talking to camera 😅
