So this is not the start of the clockwork battery / mobile revolution we have been waiting for... apparently...

They just cant seem to better the Psion Series 5 opening/closing mechanism can they.

Can you apply a patent to a rack and pinion motion invented oooo sometime around the era of the pyramids?

Oh sorry forgot, may have word computer or phone tagged to it....

Hmmm - I regularly spend considerable time away from power outlets, so bought a freecharge mobile phone charger/emergency battery combo.

It takes a substantial bit of cranking (using quite a lot of force) to charge the internal battery (in turn charging the phone) - I suspect there's not a lot of market there - too much effort involved.

Is this for making crank calls?

I think that this is a Nokia wind-up.

Fast taxi please.

It is nice to see that they have numbered all the positions of the wires that will break through constant flexing.

Do they n t rea ise that the E g ish anguage has twe ty six etters i it

Hear hear! Nothing beats the Psion's design. Even the 3 series is outstanding in terms of the folding mech. Shame about the flexies though.
