Trifold laptop in your Pocket with touch type keyboard
Posted in notebook | November 4, 2008 5pm

much like the Samsung SPH P9200 which is a trifold design where the keyboard is hinged and folds open, then having a 5" screen folding up, then the other half of the keyboard folding down. When folded closed it would be 7" x 4" x 1". When opened the keyboard area would be inside the 14" x 4" area with the keys desinged so that the alphabet keys are as large as possible and number keys are shift keys so as not provide the best touch type input possible. Also very little space around the keys and keyboard would be wasted like the Psion keyboard on the 5mx.

It would run either Vista or MAC OS user would choose the model, have a SSD drive, at least 2 usb ports, wifi, lan, gps, 3g & wimax, color screen tft, one CF slot and one SSD slot, removable battery that is slim and providing at least 4 hours of continual use with wifi on.

The true pocket laptop
Posted in notebook | October 30, 2008 10pm

Mobile business users need a full PC with a touch type keyboard but they would rather not lug a laptop size computer. What would sell more would be the first true pocket laptop. A pocket laptop would be a touch type keyboard computer running full Windows OS that when folded would fit into a standard inside coat pocket. There has NEVER been one ever produced yet.

The typical inside jacket pocket can handle a device as long as 7.4" long, and should be no wider than 4.25". Ideally the width should be more like 3.7 to 4" and the height 1" with a max height of 1.3" or so.

There are two form factors that would be good options. One would be the proven handheld clamshell form factor like the Psion. Those handheld devices sold over 2.3 million each year! and they did not have full windows OS and had an OS still a little buggy. The other form factor might be something like the Samsung SPH P9200 which is a trifold that provides almost a full size keyboard with a 4-5" screen.
