Open-Source OS DAP runs Skype

Linux is spreading, and the latest thing it has found its way into is the entertainingly-named Wizpy DAP from TurboLinux.  Running a brand of the open-source OS called FUJI, not only is the Wizpy good for playing all your mp3, Ogg, WMA and AAC files, together with DIVX video, but it can be loaded with anything you can get to run on its mobile processor.  Out of the box you get Firefox, Thunderbird and Skype, and there's a whole community out there desperate to educate you as to what other Microsoft alternatives you can download.

Wizpy weighs a mere 2.1 ounces and measures 3.3" x 1.7" x 0.5"; battery life is rated at ten hours, it has 4gb of storage and a 1.7-inch OLED display, as well as an FM radio for when you're sick of your own music.  FUJI linux does take up 1.5gb of that space, however, so you're down to 2.5gb for your music and videos.  It's expected to cost around $250 when it launches in Japan next February.
