It looks so compelling, I understand the lust. But somehow the possibility of a) seems so remote that b) ceases to be of concern... unfortunately :-)

Still, I've been dreaming about pocketable devices with hinged LCD screens for so long now that actually seeing one that has a -- however remote -- possibility of becoming real, amounts to what I can only describe as a "semi-orgasmic experience" (a warm, fuzzy feeling, but a bit higher up than the real one; and not so sticky).

A year or two ago Palm (then PalmOne) applied for a patent for a foldable LCD screen.

Some really interesting designs coming out. Competition is good!
Woo -- feckin' -- hoo!!!
(Don't forget to check the video.)
Now let's all pray it ever gets actually made, and they won't stuff bloomin' WinCrap inside.
