the problem with the PicoCalc is that it is relatively expensive for a not-entirely-useful device, and is really not that different to a GAME*MITE with a small keyboard attached.
personally, i'd like to see something with a 40x16 character display (which the 320x240 display used by Tom in the GAME*MITE can do) and a small 10x4 keyboard with its own controller that can generate the full set of VT key codes. something that could be built as a folding design so that it is the size of an HP95LX.
however, the one thing required for this idea would be an internal editor that can fully and seamlessly handle lines longer than the screen width allows.
cheers, rob :-) |
