The first mobile phone with a close relation to Apple

Posted by: bibilit on 2015-06-01 08:48:40 Yesterday i collected a french mobile phone. This, issued in 1993, was related with Apple, and mainly to the Powerbook range. The Bi-bop was a failure, and the Powerbop will be one as well, but a first step to wireless communication. The battery is toast, but a common 3.7 volt mobile phone battery brought it to life. The mobile is useless today but was just 5 € including the docking station, but no charger.

Posted by: galgot on 2015-06-01 11:14:47 Indeed… There is one here : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Portable-Apple-PowerBop/141679996842?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D30071%26meid%3D93425a6d0cf5430fa05192c89c0e63c8%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D141620808467 But it's the one without the CT2 module. if you have a source for the module, swap should be easy.

Posted by: bibilit on 2015-06-01 12:11:06 Yes, i have seen it a couple of times , but without module is worthless (in my opinion) and getting the right module will be next to impossible. I use to have a contact, but he knows how much those are worth....
