I would want a modern remake. I would imagine the following updates: Same lo-fi UI, e-ink display, LTE support, UTF-8 MarkDown/ePub reader (but the ePub reader should ignore the book fonts and always the system font settings), Telegram messaging, speed-adjustable OPUS&FLAC audio player, obviously BlueTooth&USB-C.
- rbanffy 4y agoModern laptops don't have PCMCIA slots ;-) I'd like a business-card sized display that could show simple things like my calendar and contacts while being as thin as possible - a small BTLE and WiFi board attached to a .4 mm LiPo battery and an touch e-ink display on top of the whole thing would probably work.
