The PocketMage resurrects the PDA with an e-paper screen
Talisman Design has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the PocketMage, a modern clamshell PDA featuring an e-paper screen and a tactile keyboard. The device is designed for simple productivity tasks and is aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate retro-style hardware.
Why it matters
The project reflects a niche market trend of reviving obsolete form factors with modern, low-power display technology.
Personal digital assistants like the iconic Palm Pilot were one of many devices we thought went extinct with the arrival of the smartphone. But similar to Canon resurrecting a nearly decade old digital camera to appeal to point-and-shoot fans, Talisman Design is crowdfunding a clamshell PDA called the PocketMage that combines a tactile keyboard with both e-paper and OLED displays in a pocketable device.
