psion like keyboard discussion

[tllim]

At this point, for those like me who didn't know these "psion", I would like to suggest this video where this device is shown.

I have to say that in terms of design it's really nice, now the specs are really old, but everything else seems better than today's smatphones.
in the video you can also see very well the mechanism of the keyboard, I don't know how much is possible to reproduce a similar mechanism, but in practice that sliding system could allow the phone to stand on the table, probably adding an expansion battery inside the keyboard, the weight could be sufficient!

Thanks on the good post. We will use this thread as reference info when design the PinePhone PDA keyboard.
