These things actually existed back then? Wow. Check out the new Viliv N5.

i remembered my Psion i was given one for school lol. the hinge was a common problem with them as i can remember the only things i used it for was a spell checker and he card game as i used the Amstrad NC200 for class work as it had a better sized keyboard
-
I had one of those too. and i also made a video of it. and it was working check it out.

A remarkable machine for it's time, years ahead of anything. The OS was called EPOC, rather stable. Has RS-232 capability, as an add-on.
Generally runs for 40 hours on 2 AA
-
some points on this machine.
- double thumb technique was the method i used to type
- this was preceded by the Series 3 (circa 1992) and the 3a (no 3b)
-two optional SSD drives, they had the RAM variant that behaved like the internal memory up to 512K but also Flash memory (up to 2 Megs and the time) eventually as high as 8 Megs
- built in features like a spreadsheet, database and word processing.
- highly programmable, language was called OPL, with a built in text editor to code.
-
I wonder if anyone still has one that works...
-
I kept expecting it to get up and dance too! Fancy the casing going soggy. Cheers, Lesley

i just had to watch 2 other vids just see how they do work.

It's even smaller than these new Asus EePC thingies. Eww, the batteries don't look good.
This is a true mobile computer ... put it into your pocket and walk around. But nowadays you would need much more features and batteries for something like this ;o)

All of those "netbooks" (like the Asus EEE) all failed the jacket pocket test, which is a pity as I'd really like one.
I'm waiting for someone to build a modern computer that passes the jacket pocket test _and_ I can still type on. (Without having to use a stylus or a tiny tiny keyboard.)
