I loving love these sorts of stupid ultra portable palmtop things always totally pointless in design, better as a prop for a cyberpunk movie than anything else, and typically really expensive or even flat out vaporware and as dumb as they are I always want one

lancemantis posted:its a classic example of something dreamed about in scifi for decades, but when it finally comes into reality its pretty much immediately eclipsed by some other technology and in the end it turns out it never really mattered exactly!! but my idiot nerd-lizard-brain still screams GIMME!!! whenever I see something like this if I had more money and less willpower my home would look little different from an electronics recycler

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT lovely POINTLESS PORTABLES i seriously love this garbage so goddamn much. i posted a bunch in the gassed portable computer thread paul allen funded this turd, which was utterly destroyed by netbooks. first shown in 2003, not released until 2007, and it cost two thousand loving earth dollars.  the oqo, which shaggar mentioned. vaporware for the longest time, they finally released it and i think got maybe 3 revisions out! the first version had this ridiculous "docking cable" shown below  the s-xgen handtop, by some company called seamless. i never heard of this thing until i was googling for pictures of hosed up portables. it's a loving inch thick windows mobile PDA with a flip-out folding keyboard, and according to an old article cost $1400. IT IS A PDA WITH A loving ETHERNET PORT JESUS CHRIST

infernal machines posted:there was also the palm folio, which was basically a netbook looking terminal for your treo the most baffling thing about the foleo was how it came out in 2007 yet had the exact styling of a business laptop from 1997.
