Gemini PDA: 20 years on, meet the all-new Psion Series 5
This looks super cool, but I'm not sure I'd use it.<p>When the Series 5 was launched, there weren't a lot of good options for text input on mobile devices. The keyboard made a huge difference, because your alternatives were a full-size laptop, Graffiti on a Palm device or the awful resistive touchscreen on a WinCE device. The Psion 5 was the most useful productivity device that could fit in a coat pocket.<p>Today, touchscreen keyboards work well enough that a Psion 5-sized keyboard isn't a vast improvement. For less than $30, you can buy a folding Bluetooth keyboard that is barely bigger than a phone when folded, but gives an almost full-sized keyboard when unfolded. The Gemini's fixed keyboard makes it impractical to use as a phone, but isn't as good as a folding bluetooth keyboard. Loath as I am to admit it, I think it's simply an obsolete form factor.<p>If the keyboard snapped on magnetically, I might have given it serious consideration. As it is, I just don't see where such a device would fit into my workflow.<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/iClever-Portable-Keyboard-Bluetooth-Wireless/dp/B00YWLJNPQ/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/iClever-Portable-Keyboard-Bluetooth-W...</a>
