I would love to see a modern device with a similar form factor to the classic PDAs. After some searching, I found a few options, but none of them are quite the same. Here's what I came across [1], [2], and potentially [3]. Does anyone know of other devices that come closer to the original clamshell PDA design?

- tm0 2y agoThough about six years old, the Gemini PDA (from the same folks who make the Astro Slide) is likely the most modern device with the classic clamshell PDA form factor. https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/gemini-pda-wifi-only https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/gemini-pda-wifi-only https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_TybtULQVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_TybtULQVo (interview with the designer, who was also one of the designers for the Psion PDA) If you are allowing a bit more modernity, they have the Cosmo Communicator, which has a screen on the outside. https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/devices/products/cosmo-communicator https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/devices/products/c...
