Amstrad PDA600 Penpad Review

[OllieTheGeek]

Never knew you had a doctorate Dr. s

[buttonsmasherable]

2001javed you are very correct im trying to start one and using most of his jokes such as,"if you havent yet u need to go back to many differnt schools

[buttonsmasherable]

whats the multiple of stylus oh yeah i dont care

[youcantubeittoo]

3TOF TKTZ VTDGY

[shockraid1]

I was also born on the 33rd of Octvember

[chrischoy9]

successor -> Samsung Galaxy Note

[Joshslick]

The whole "sticky rubber" thing reminds me of why I didn't like those rubber Wii Remote jackets when they first came out.

[INVADERxDIB]

clicks splurges and the letter g. hmm sound like German

[TheChevroletnova]

hahah 300 pounds

[themomaw]

The hazard level from leaking alkaline cells to a typical human is massively MASSIVELY overstated. The only reason it's rather nasty for your gadgets is that you tend not to notice the battery has ruptured until the wiring/boards have been saturated for a few months and it's all been corroded to oblivion. Unless you swallow some or leave it on your skin for while, the worst that could conceivably happen from direct contact with the goo is a temporary mild itchiness. :)

[lolzzz21212]

Whoah, he's a doctor of psychology, didn't see that coming.

That makes him even more awesome!

[platinumpokemon8675]

Imagine him having a girl over and doing rude things on that couch and the girl says "have you ever done stuff like this on the couch before?" Ashens reply: "I've done much worse"

[ThrashDAHCmetaL]

@platinumpokemon8675 I don't think his girlfriend would be happy about that! XD

[HappinessSeizure]

09:43 wow that was riskey Ashens , ppl could have seen the numbers if it was for the fast motion

[GamingHatman]

Definitly a product that needed a "Keep out of direct sunlight"on it

[Shoteen95]

I love how it does EVERYTHING WRONG.

[Marioroops]

awesome

[LunaVorax]

Have you tried using 90° (or more) alcohol to clean off the sticky stuff?

[JopeSane]

Does your credit card really say "DR STUART ASHEN" :d

[tobitobide]

@JopeSane Since he IS a Dr... it probably does.

[ahighbalckguy]

@JopeSane yes

[PlayingGilly]

@JopeSane He has a PHD in Psychology so yeah, he is a Doctor just not the medical variety.

[AMshibly98]

u think this is bad come to dubai

[FreudRulz]

Am I the only one who liked mine?

[thomashughes12345678]

Its not that it cant read seven, its that your weird and put a fin on it, you weird evil man.

I'm kidding, jeez.

[mongolianape]

does he use that couch to sit on too?

[MrRatermat]

Ashens saved my friend from a permanent coma!

[SirTapTap]

Oh ninties technology...so horrible.

[WhatTheTuckMick]

shitty sky boxes

[Drake9990]

Amstrad makes sky boxes now...

and they break easily!

[eateroftheflame]

I'm not surprised Amstrad make Sky Boxes, ours have broken pretty much every year since we got Sky

[Amaranthus616]

@eateroftheflame ours is broken too, a few times a day the remote and box dont communicate to each other and we have to pull the plug and card and re connect to get it working again, then we have to reset the picture settings we like...multiple times a day

and channels every so often, regardless of weather keep on receiving no signal. then sometimes they get it back..but then it goes again. some dont come back. we currently are thinking if changing from sky, to something else

[stinger9]

Amstrad made my Sky box, so yes they are still going. Still crap too.

[TrapnestShinigami]

I'm watching this on the PDA600 YouTube viewer.

[TheMrminimario]

Don Giovanni..

MY NAME IS GIOVANNI, gonna buy this thing! :D just for the package

[uisforursalan]

amstrad still exist just went to the website

[JohnyDMcBride]

WTF he's a DOCTOR

[redwulf777]

The date that the screen displayed on the box cover was three days after I was born. :D *feels special*

[ryantheking12]

My mom had something like this. Amazing what passed for great super gadgets in the day.

[IDestroyIdiots]

This isn't directed at anyone. I just want to clear it up. His last name is NOT Ashens. It IS Ashen. I don't how many people I've seen call him Stuart Ashens. No, It is Stuart Ashen.

[alcaponethebest]

Psychology. He has a doctorate in psychology.

[DoctorKandosii]

@alcaponethebest I'm studying that right now. One day I'll be just like Ashens. I'M HIS BIGGEST FAN! Not in a weird way or anything.

[shadowwolf1918]

Yes, Ashen, do tell, what is your doctorate in?

[Jevon177]

Dr. Stuart Ashens. Wow your a doctor?

[Ixdriftz]

Wasn't don giovanni the leader of team rocket? 3:06

[yofune99]

@Ixdriftz OH SH-

[mApppel]

its biodegradable! thats why its falling apart/turns into goo! :D what an amazing piece of tat^^

[internetfanboy69]

are there crickets in the background or am I mental?

[MrNobody47710]

@internetfanboy69

*grabs Freud cigar*

You're mental, because of penises and your mother.

[internetfanboy69]

@MrNobody47710 :D

[TheTwitchkid]

@MrNobody47710

Yes. Quite.

[jakeroxx1122]

'Lemons ! Hahahaha :) "

[Rampiddude]

and taping and taping and taping



[ministryod10]

Hmm Dr Stuart Ashens..

[20001javed]

Ashens is the only one who can put a box in front of the camera and just talk and We'll all sit and listen

[Beck436]

@20001javed

I think it's a combination of the voice and his ability to be genuinely hilarious on the spot.

[DoubleMGames]

your a doctor??

[Error52QFG]

@DoubleMGames EXTERMINATE

[RIFT123tutorials]

Dupduddud

[7529gamer]

For some reason i'm getting the strange feeling that iv'e been staring at a gray screen for 20 minuets

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

later newtons and the eMate had far better recognition.

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

the Newton and the Apple eMate 300 were far better, I would know, I own and use both in daily life

[Rondart]

Ashens, apparently Amstrad still exists, though now a subsidiary under BSkyB making decoder boxes. Hope you don't say it's a "fitting punishment" :<

[JHelfrich]

It'd be amusing if there was an emulator written for it just so people could marvel at the poor interface, limited features and handwriting recognition.

It would be completely pointless to emulate it but I'm sure that wouldn't stop some people.

[Flopper01Gaming]

He's a DOCTOR!

[JDtheATheist]

@Flopper01Gaming He is THE doctor.

[JDtheATheist]

@Flopper01Gaming He is THE doctor.

[thetechanatoralt]

@Flopper01Gaming Not a medical doctor though, he has doctret.

[thetechanatoralt]

@thetechanatoralt  doctorate, sorry.

[ChristianBomb]

@Flopper01Gaming A doctor? Doctor Who?

[FreudRulz]

@Flopper01Gaming Doctor... WHO!?

[Daryllolkol100]

@Flopper01Gaming with a fucking platnuim card!

[jackalleo101202303]

You can't see the screen!

[lazerlight2010]

you know youre kid is a dumb ass when she think your phone is a clown fish

[TheOdddellarobia]

how much is a pound? (in us money )

[wings400]

@TheOdddellarobia there is no google in pakistan?

[LizaMMX]

@TheOdddellarobia 1 pound is about 1.56 USD give or take a penny or 2, so, nowadays 300 pounds would be about 486.15 US, and taking inflation into account, it would have cost about 314.74 USD depending on the equivalent of currency in 1993.

[karina5242]

@TheOdddellarobia a dollar

[JakeMaylan]

3tof difs videy (stop this video)

billy nike sqwig (bueyajndfashh) :(

thumbs up :D

[Terryracoon]

Ashens hasn't played the original GBA in a while, i guess.... :)

[LizaMMX]

@Terryracoon Heyyooo!

[greyhoundgill]

7:21 for the start of the review

[emogamer16]

i like Billy's last name LOL!!!

[mattwilhelm60]

holly shit... i didn't know ashens owned a T-shirt. i just thought he wore a dress shirt and tie everyday

[LeetHydrtalisk]

I was born on the 84th day of Ockzomber . . .

[kjw21411]

Centigrade? I thought the C in degrees stood for Celsius?

[ReinWeisserRitter]

Wait, you really are a doctor?

[GameBrothersTV]

@ReinWeisserRitter Yep, He is a doctor of psychology. I googled it

[famiclone364]

@GameBrothersTV Fairly certain that's a joke, he said in a Q&A that it's just a ph.D in fine art I believe.

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

I have a similar problem with my eMate, it likes to, for some reason, reset the date to '97

[DdlyHeadshot]

In a modern context, a PDA this size is basically a Tablet! So you can choose between this and an iPad... Hmm... Personally I'd rather not have either...

[cookingboy3]

It's funny, you don't need to look at the video to lol your face off.

[thevisualboy37]

Biuly BcLqulg, 1FFF Dup Dd.

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

my newton powered Apple eMate 300 arrived yesterday. it is, to quote you, "the best thing since super sliced bread".

[LifeofLordLogan]

48 sucks

[DjSpEnDy]

Dr Stuart Ashes

[CebuLips9]

@DjSpEnDy Ashes?

[TheOdysseyKid]

@DjSpEnDy Ashes?

[LifeofLordLogan]

@DjSpEnDy wtf

[DjSpEnDy]

@LifeofLordLogan Look at the credit card it says Dr Stuart Ashen*

[sirevildave]

Lord Sugar showed off one of these the other day on The One Show - his was sticky too!

[chaklong]

I like how you put the sticky machine onto your sofa 0.0

[gunmunz]

just fyi 300 pounds is about 470 US dollars by today's standards 

[ilackedtheheart]

@gunmunz and adjusting for inflation, it would be around 490 pounds or 780 USD.

[techyknowsbest]

no its not shit, its styli

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

First Powerade, then Heinz, now its Crunchy Nut. FFFUUUUCCCCCKKK.

[goldpsp3000]

i hate fucking ads ive watched the same one 10 times while scrolling through ashens videos.... FUCK YOU YOUTUBE ADD MAKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Digitbig]

@goldpsp3000 Cry more. Or get AdBlock. I don't give a shit.

[goldpsp3000]

@Digitbig 'CRY' 'CRY'

[LordWeegee450]

My old sky box (well not really mine, don't ask) was Amstrad branded. Now there's Sky HD with a much worse interface (in my opinion)

[ReddmanDGZ]

reminds me of a giant-size version of my palm handspring :D

[llj355]

It reminds me of the Sharp Wizard, which I only know of from Seinfeld.

[EchidonaMicHog]

I remember when I went to FMnhT on the 14th day of GHpbn last year. I went to a DBYLET and bought some EHLIYU for some GHLASARV.

[DDDTom]

Amstrad Do Exist still...they Make ALL of Sky TV's PVR boxes and their bog standard Digi-boxes too

[DDDTom]

Amstrad Do Exist still...they Make ALL of Sky TV's PVR boxes and their bog standard Digi-boxes too

[pombenenge]

you are funny trying to speak german x3

[TheNickloyd]

2x better than windows 8

[unoriginalizednames]

i just saw a meth commercial o.o

[TheSeandroid]

"My goodness, that was 300 pounds yesterday and now it's 50..."

That's exactly what my brain said when I bought my touchpad for $100 :P

Then I got an iPad and realized how much I truly hated my touchpad.

[cullennclann]

is that your real voice?

[meowandmeow]

@cullennclann Yes, it really is.

[SEwalkman752]

when he said ''y por que no?'' at 20:49 , he said it soo smooth! :O

[thebigbluesquid]

i am going to fukcing kill that heinz puch in a sek

[Manhi40]

but i hates gay people!!!!

(i mean the ad)

[evilgamers1]

oh dear.... now i understand why people dont make devices with rubber cases anymore

[lemonjellies]

Sir Alan Sugar won't be happy watching this.

[deadteddiebear1177]

I don't understand how i miss a whole month of your videos but atleast it gives me something to do when the internet runs out of stuff.

[MugenKiryokuKonata]

I'd love to see what his collection of retro tech looks like.

[JamieMo1993]

Amstrad does still exist. They are the company the makes the Sky, Sky+ and Sky HD Digital TV Boxes and Recorders

[FalconKPD]

What year is it marked?

[eVITORIOe]

Better than ipad...

[SPECKSPRODUCTION]

"abuegeeaihe kdnekahd" loool

[crazyfooInc]

@carpar722

First off, American isn't actually a language; it just so happens to be English. And secondly, that's a bit insensitive, don't you think? That's like if a Japanese man slapped you each time you slightly mispronounced any bit of his language.

[VectormanOverkill]

@carpar722 You know what he's talking about so why does it matter?

[CharleyTee1]

@carpar722 that's a bit of a random request ^^.

[MugenKiryokuKonata]

@carpar722 He's British, and therefore he speaks the British dialect of English. You know, the correct one.

[Zangamarth]

@MugenKiryokuKonata Can it be argued that there is a correct dialect of a language? Tell the Brazilians there is, they would probably shiv you where you stood. Same to the Mexicans, or anyone who doesn't speak Castillian "proper" spanish.

[MugenKiryokuKonata]

@Zangamarth I'm not exactly super-knowledgeable in the field, but it seems as if the American dialect is altered to suit the accent, whereas the British one is more faithful to the languages it was derived from.

[Zangamarth]

@MugenKiryokuKonata Being Norman French and Latin, I believe, and German as well. I'm not the most knowledgeable as well, I must admit.

[GenaTrius]

@MugenKiryokuKonata The really wonderful thing about English is that because it doesn't have an academy like French and such, there is no correct or incorrect English. The only bad English is English that fails to get the point across clearly.

[digioverlord]

@GenaTrius thank! you!!!! ive been saying that to all forms of grammer nazis!

[theallstarmat]

@carpar722

...

oh for fucks sake.

[valeris98]

is that a munual or a brick?

[useless1997]

@valeris98

It reminds me of the 3DS one, which holds 90% of the 3DS packaging weight.

[gck86]

funny unboxing video.

[theillusionist6677]

Hmmm, what is the plural of stylus, is it styli ? Oh yea, I dont give a shit.

[gdude545]

hang on so you kept tapping the month until you advanced 10 years but you couldn't be bothered to stick it through to the end? I would have just put a shit film on and absentmindedly tapped while I watched it

[Sp00nhed]

I love to hear you speak even if it is about old tech. :)

[rrrcorvesco]

@mynyme93 Wow. I didn't know that. Awesome. Imagine him giving lessons at university.... epic classes!

[rrrcorvesco]

is the name on the credit card "DR STUART ASHEN"? DR?

[Schokobescher]

@rrrcorvesco yes, a real doctor; of psychology

[FemJesse]

4125... Visa... I can guess the rest...

[EpikMods]

@FemJesse i believe it says 4129...

[kjw21411]

Tandy Electronics actually BECAME the Radio Shack Corporation.

[gabrielno1]

"A couple of Styluses... Styli?

What's the multiple of Stylus... Oh yeah! I don't give a S***!"

XD

[RS250Squid]

I wish I could change my ringtone to "3TOF, TPTZZ, and VTDDGY" :-)

[kjw21411]

@RS250Squid It's "3TOF, TKTZ, and "VTDGY".

[ChaosMew161]

Oh Amstrad, founded by the same idiot who thought the iPod would be dead in 2005. The iPod wasn't dead in 2005, and it isn't now!

[XH1927]

@ChaosMew161 Sadly.

[ChristianU2ubeh]

Tandy still exists, but it IS Radio Shack. And they existed here in the states as well, got a Tandy 1000 in my room.

[Shadowkirby64000]

jesus what were these people thinking.

[TellyphoneTV]

@ashens 09:24 ON THE CREDIT CARD IT SAYS DR. STUART ASHEN!!!

[Scioneer]

I have an Amstrad PPC640 in my small vintage computer collection. Its so weird its pretty cool. I have Windows Ver 1 running off two 720k floppies and a serial touchpad as a mouse.

[mike2084]

He's not a fucking doctor idiots -_-

[bgreen97]

@mike2084 He is a doctor. He's not a medical doctor of course.

but he is a doctor, meaning he has completed the proper amount of higher education.

[crubbits]

@bgreen97 Like Harry Hill?

[LordWeegee450]

@bgreen97 sorry i meant to thumb up

[watuppeeps101]

@bgreen97 I thought he was a failed psychologist???

[ilackedtheheart]

@watuppeeps101 They offer doctorates in psychology.Typically it's a PhD.
