Right out of the box you can instantly, easily, and wirelessly access the Internet and your home network to enjoy the richness of the Web and personal communications including e-mail and IM. Because the Pepper Pad has both built-in Wi-Fi and a hard drive, you can stream and download your favorite music, videos and photos and take them around the house or wherever you travel. The Pepper Pad 3 offers a far richer viewing experience than small-screen PDAs or mobile phones and much less maintenance than a complex laptop.
When it comes to deciding what to do when you've got a Pepper Pad 3 in your hands, the options are just about limitless. With the integrated Web browser you can surf, shop, do research, plan a vacation, check the weather, check TV listings, and more. Or download, store, organize, and play your digital music library on the device's stereo speakers, or just tune into internet radio. While you're doing that, feel free to edit, store, and share photos, or watch and share videos. And of course, you can email and IM to stay in touch. IM is further enhanced by the integrated VGA video camera, which is great for video chats.
The Pepper Pad 3 sports a 7-inch color display with touch screen for beautiful photos, videos and Web pages. A stylus is included, so you can control the Pepper Pad 3 with ease. The full QWERTY keypad, which is arrayed on either side of the device, enables fast and easy typing. You can also use the integrated direction pad and scroll wheel to navigate Web pages and other applications. The outer casing features a rugged and splash-resistant design for those occasional mishaps, while a 20 GB hard drive inside is big enough to store hundreds of photos and videos. Lastly, rechargeable lithium batteries and smart power management technologies give you long battery life, while the embedded AMD LX800 processor and optimized Linux-based operating system offer zippy performance.
Another great feature of the Pepper Pad 3 is its instant-on capability. It's always ready to go--no more booting up whenever you sit down to use it. Connectivity is a breeze, too. The device supports 802.11b/g Wi-Fi for instant-on Internet access and it supports the WEP and WPA wireless security protocols. And speaking of security, the Pepper Pad 3 is designed to be virus and spyware resistant. Plus, Bluetooth 2.0 device support means you can use it with a full-size keyboard and/or mouse. USB 2.0 connectivity makes it a snap to connect the Pepper Pad 3 to your PC for data transfer, while infrared capabilities let you easily control and access any number of TVs, set-top boxes, CD players, and other A/V devices. The Pepper Pad 3 also comes with some other great connectivity options, including a headphone jack, component video out, and a microphone-in port.

- A $650 paperweight that runs on LinuxI had some high hopes for this product. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. My main goal was to have a quick booting web device that could allow me to read TV listings and possibly control my A/V equipment. I also wanted The ability to read PDFs and Word documents.
When I tried to load up a MS-Word document, I got an error message that there were no usable local apps installed and that I'd have to use an online reader if I want to read MS-Word files. The software that ... Read More

- PepperPad 3, A first rate UMPCAfter a fair amount of research, I purchased my PepperPad 3 with the expectation of expanding its capabilities through additional Linux programs and a modest RAM upgrade (512MB). It hasn't disappointed. This is a well constucted, durable and versatile machine. Either use it as the kiosk software intended, or upgrade it to be a handheld machine with desktop machine capabilities. The only downsides? A tendency to run on the hot side, and the tendency of the rubberized impact bumpers on the side to ... Read More

- PP3 ROCKS!After doing exhaustive research, I reluctantly ordered the PP3. I do not regret the decision. I started out looking for a PDA on steroids, but decided on this UMPC instead. Let's face it: any PDA that can do what the PP3 can do (and none can) is NOT going to fit in your pocket anyway. I already have a PDA that fits nicely in my pocket and does everything I need a PDA to do. Having a PDA that won't fit (comfortably) into my pocket defeats the purpose of having a PDA.

- Pepper Pad a Useful AV remoteI've had my pepper pad a little over a month now. Some of the other reviewers I read had issues with the software being unstable. I have not had any of those problems. I've downloaded 2 software updates so far and they have worked perfectly. The unit's wireless Ethernet connects without a hitch both at home and at my work's wireless routers. It took about 10 minutes to have the unit learn my 15 year old televisions remote.
