Planet Computers, creator of the Gemini PDA, has pulled the covers off its next-generation device – the Cosmo Communicator.
Planet brought the clamshell QWERTY back to the market 17 years after Psion made its last PDA*, and will continue to sell it. But Cosmo is even more ambitious, intending to fully replace your phone.
The lid of the Cosmo features an AMOLED panel for notifications, and below it, a multifunction rocker switch that makes answering or rejecting a phone call easy (it also incorporates a fingerprint sensor). The rear features a 24MP imaging unit.
QWERTY keyboard good, $779 MSRP bad.

Oh, get over yourself you Luddite! Progress is all about increasing suffering while decreasing functionality. What do you want, to go back to the dark ages when computers felt blazing fast and could do everything you wanted without any problems?
You probably also don't like the way Windows 10 spies on you and randomly forces you into an hours-long reboot process in order to make useless changes that may or may not erase your data or leave your computer nonfunctional do you? I swear, some people just have no appreciation for the time and effort required to provide the quality of suffering you can get today.
