Weighing in at a svelte two pounds, and measuring less than an inch thick, the rugged, splash-resistant, handheld Pepper Pad is perfect for the family room couch, kitchen counter, bedside table, or coffee shop. Plus, it's small enough to fit into a briefcase or backpack so you can take it wherever you roam.

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
mid-sized internet tablet,
This review is from: Pepper Pad 3 - Web Player / White (Office Product)
The Pepper Pad is primarily marketed as a consumer device with a small number of included applications that cover the basics. It is easy to use, but most buyers will already have a larger computer. It integrates best with a Windows machine, but those with Macs or Linux should be OK too. Its only Internet option is wireless, so you need a wireless router (another indication that you probably already have other computers). The "killer application" for this kind of machine is the web browser, which here is Firefox (but without extensions). It works very well, and the 800x480 screen is big enough so that sideways scrolling isn't usually required.It is a bit larger than I expected: 2 inches longer and about as high as a typical hardback book placed on its side. It works very well in a living room, e.g. on the arm of an armchair. The Pepper Pad is running Linux under the hood, and this is my 2nd Linux-based Internet Tablet. I also have a Nokia 770, which has a similar screen resolution but is much smaller (PDA size). The big advantage of the Pepper Pad is that its AMD Geode LX800 processor is Intel compatible, so many Linux binaries (Fedora rpms) will run "as is". The built in keyboard and disk drive are also big pluses. However, the Linux developer community for the Pepper Pad is smaller, and the Nokia allows for better integration of 3rd party applications. I find I primarily use the Nokia to read e-books, and the Pepper Pad for casual web browsing. The Nokia can't read encrypted e-books though, and the Pepper Pad can (Mobipocket only). For those who expect to travel in the US with the Pepper Pad, I have found that free WiFi access is usually available in hotels but often not in airports. Overall, I like the Pepper Pad and would particularly recommend it to anyone who is familiar with Linux.

Love the Pepperpad 3!,

This review is from: Pepper Pad 3 - Web Player / White (Office Product)
I had been looking for the past year for *exactly* this set of features in a handheld computer, but always came up short. This marvelous little powerhouse has everything. Wifi g, bluetooth 2.0, very usable thumb QWERTY keyboard, 20gig HD...and all this in a terrific form factor. Nice size, feels great in the hand, it's only two lbs. And it is affordable, no less.There are several apps I would like to see (sketch/digital ink...pleasePLEASE, Office-type suite, VOIP, etc.), but I am guessing these will be developed before long. Biggest surprise was how much I enjoy the pre-installed ebook reader. I downloaded Bob Woodward's new book, which worked like a charm, and have been enjoying reading it at home and, propped on its stand, in coffee shops all over Manhattan. Btw, expect to be interrupted when you do as it is quite the head turner. Almost as good as walking your dog for meeting new people here in NYC. No surprise was how much I enjoy playing with it on the couch, in bed, sitting on the terrace, etc. It is so much nicer than even my three pound, 8 x 11" Tablet PC. Two lbs is soooo much nicer than three. And the scroll wheel is fabulous, too. And, oh, I almost forgot, the remote controller is excellent. You can set up any combination of video and audio equipment (TV, dvd players, Tivo) in about two minutes and, snap, it just works. And with no lag at all. Touch the pen to the screen and your Tivo chirps back instantly. FYI, I met several of the top people from the Company at the recent Digital Life Conference. Wonderful folks who seem to love what they do. And they were *more* than helpful. Jon M must have spent close to an hour talking with my boyfriend and me. All in all, great effort, guys! I am not surprised at all that it is backordered.

PepperPad 3 THE answer for home quick computing,
By
This review is from: Pepper Pad 3 - Web Player / White (Office Product)
Most of the reviews already have captured the great things this device offers - so I wont repeat them here. There are a few short minuses (strictly on the power user level) .- only 802.11 wireless (no gprs cell phone data net capability) (this is MINOR when one considers public/free 802.11 availability) - no real "file" manager- each app manages specific files What you can do in about 3 minutes out of the box: - stream media from SlimServer for home mp3 library - browse pictures and video from any win computer with media connect - browse homw network resources - stream internet radio, email and web Many UMPC sites and reviews will claim that the pepperpad 3 (ppd3) lacks functionality. This is not really relevant when you consider the huge psh for web based apps (word processing, spreadsheet etc). pepper computer & hanbit just released 3.2 software tha5 includes document app as well. Everything that needs to be done quickly, without long boot-up sequences can be done with ppd3. The form factor is IDEAL. when considering the nokia N800 or Qoo, consider this: the 7 in screen of the pepperpad3 is enormous- really makes a difference in web browsing and web apps. Split thumb pad keyboard is not as weird as it may look in pictures. After about a week, I've typed this review on my ppd3 in under 4 minutes. The open source community behind pepperpad3 will certainly ensure that this device has longevity and applicabilty in the marketplace for quite some time. The embedded linux at the core will appeal to the power users out there (yes, there is an xterm and cmd line available) Far more capable and user friendly than the nokia N8000
