Sneak peak.

A British classic
Grabbing lunch. Included a side-shot this time to give you an idea of the device’s profile: it doesn’t simply open calm-shell style but instead slides the keyboard tray outward and brings the centre-fold inwards to give it a more comfortable typing position, and stability — the centre-fold is *not* at the back of the device! Psion won a design award for this piece of engineering.
No modern device is doing this.
They did it in 1997.

@Infoseepage Let’s not forget the leather!

@Infoseepage This is why I refuse to give up my #Kindle 3 & 4. Can’t bloody stand the touch-screen ones, what a massive step backwards — for what!? A few cents of plastic? I’m only using an old Paperwhite 3rd gen because I got it free from a family member and the backlight is useful but they should never have gotten rid of the buttons.

@Kroc the screen on the Psion looks much better! It always amazes me how expensive these distraction free writers are!
-
@Kroc Why can't we get the people bending over backwards to make the thinnest mobile phone with the bulkiest cameras revisit the Psion form factor?

They did it in 1997.This is the book I’ve been writing using the #Psion: https://camendesign.com/nomad
It’s about a nomad from an uncontacted tribe crossing a desert to see civilization for the first time, except this is a sand-glass the size of Earth… the #worldglass
You can download the free PDF / ePub with 60 pages. If you want more, I’ve just posted the current manuscript with an additional 100 pages on the Patreon, ~45’000 words total written over the last 5 months.

They did it in 1997.You’re probably real tired of these same-same photos but I am still working on the book (https://camendesign.com/nomad) despite less crowing about it. It is very nose-to-the-grindwheel stuff and abating the distractions is paramount to getting anything done, which is why this 25 year old AA-powered palmtop slams your average Android tablet to the floor.
