@arstechnica meh, Palm was cool and all, but I had an iPAQ H3835 in 2001 - and still do and it still works - with a foldable keyboard. It was purely awesome. I opened this whole construction on my lap on the bus home from Lyceum and wrote some code in PPL - C-based language some fella developed for the Pocket PC back in a day. Strangers on the bus thought that Matrix has got them 🤣, because I was if not the only one - probably one of the very few people with those things here in Kyiv.
