Credit Card Sized Concept PDA from Citizen

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the incredible-shrinking-handhelds dept.

chris writes "Citizen has unveiled a miniature PDA concept considerably smaller than existing PDAs. The 60 x 90 x 9.3mm 16-colour grayscale PDA is just a bit bigger then a credit card." A bit too large to stow in one's wallet, but it's still a slick form factor, easily hid in a pocket. It runs ITRON4 for an OS, and the battery life is rated at 30 hours.

      Har har, that were a good, you imbecilic excuse for a human being. It must be terrible to be unliked by everybody you meet, and be an emarrasement to your family. I pity you. I hope, for your sake, that you choke on a chicken bone during dinner and shuffle off this mortal coil. Believe me, it'll be easier than facing the rest of your so-called life. Again, you have my pity.

    Pleasures of the Throne

    There was once an island kingdom whose people were all fabulously wealthy. Even though they could have afforded to live anywhere they wanted, tradition dictated they stay on their tiny island home.

    Eventually, their king became frustrated and called a meeting of the tribe's elders. He said he wanted them to figure out a way he could enjoy his wealth, and stay within traditional guide lines. After much consideration, the elders suggested he build a magnificent throne. When he objected there was not enough room in his hut for a throne, the elders suggested he call in an engineer to solve the problem (a mistake most certainly).

    Soon, the king's tiny hut was rigged with an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys. He could lower the huge throne for use during the day, and at night, he could haul the throne up, and lower his bed.

    This was truly the best of both worlds for the king. Unfortunately, after a few months of constant use the ropes frayed, and one night, the throne slipped and came crashing down on the king, killing him.

    The wisemen of the island recognized a lesson in this experience and added to the lore of their people this statement:

    "People who live in grass houses should not store thrones."
