this is truly a device that fell out of an angel's pocket

Oh. I saw this on Sony’s design gallery, but uh…they didn’t show the keyboard. They were too busy being proud of the .1 megapixel camera rofl.

Much cooler to see it in action tbh

I miss my old Sony Clie (which was an older and much less fancy model than this one in the pictures). the smart phone seems like such a dreary and unpromising device compared to the older PDAs and I really wonder why. I feel like it's because everything about the current accepted design of the "smart phone" suggests something designed chiefly to be cheap to make, like it's a mere extruded rectangle of materials, a sandwich of circuit boards and glass with a couple buttons round the edges. is usability even a concern in smart phone design? ~Chara

I used to have one of these. I have a CF 802.11b adapter for it still if you want one.

Sony made such good Palm devices. I miss their consumer device design so much, it was just different than anyone else

After the Sidekick, there was basically zero innovation in gadgets until foldable screens became a thing.
