Look what arrived in the mail last week!

What a beauty. I haven't turned it on yet. I'll do a deep dive on it in a future video. For now, I'm just admiring it.

It's got an 8088 CPU, one megabyte of RAM and a PCMCIA interface. I wonder if it will run FreeDOS.

@gmc This is what I wished cellphones had evolved into and not the damn touchscreen soap bars. I was so disappointed when Nokia killed the Communicator series, I had owned all of the models except 9300. It was the perfect mobile device, could've just used better software compatibility and more powerful CPU. Current generation hardware in that form factor with well supported mobile OS would be a dream device.

@apzpins You'd think someone would develop that... Although it's probably a niche market. But I agree!

@gmc I had one of these and regret selling it to this day.

@derSammler Ah, the regrets of the retro computing enthusiast... I'm all too familiar with those.

@gmc What a neat little system! These ultrawide display handheld PC's are really interesting.
