Long ago, I talked about the Virgin Connect Webplayer I received in a promotion. It's a tiny "internet appliance" with a thin screen and a wireless keyboard. I used it for a while, and then decided to return it. Except I never did, because right when I tried to, the company shut down and discontinued the program. It's been sitting in its box in my office, waiting for a UPS man who never came. I'd forgotten about it, really. I discovered today that I get to keep it (for free), and furthermore, with a little bit of hacking it can be turned into a pretty neat little computer. Maybe I'll use it as an MP3 player in my car so I can listen to my Audible.com audio books.
