The Zipit Wireless Messenger is a small clamshell device originally produced by Aeronix, which is now under the spin-off Zipit Wireless, Inc.,[1] that enables Instant Messaging (AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger) while on Wi-Fi wireless networks. The Zipit Wireless Messenger received the iParenting Media Award in 2005[2] and the Zipit Z2 was awarded “DigitalLife 2007 Best of Show – Portable Gear” by PC Magazine.[3] The Z1 was also recognized by the InnoVision Technology Awards as an award winner in the Technology Application category.[4] They are $150.
Geekcorps, a humanitarian organization trying to bridge the Digital Divide has proposed the Zipit as a leading low-cost communication device.[5]
On Sept. 27, 2007, Zipit Wireless introduced the Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 (Z2). It has a full color display, backlit keyboard, Mini-SD memory card slot, MP3 player(MyTunez), streaming audio support, and a photo viewer(MyPhotoz).[6] The Z2 runs Linux.[7]
