Microsoft unveils new UI prototype - Windows 8?
Stoic Joker:
I had one for my Sony Clie until that died. I ended up giving my keyboard to a friend who had one that still worked.
I really miss my Clie. It was a simple and reliable device that didn't try to do too much. But what it did do, it did brilliantly. I wrote the entire first draft of a book on that little bugger. Too bad Sony scrapped it's PDAs and went completely over to smartphones.-40hz (June 06, 2011, 12:48 PM)

You want another one (Sony Clie that is)? I got one sitting in the closet I never could figure out a use for.

Thanks. But I already gave away all my software and accessories and have since moved on to other things. And migrated all that data too. Boy was that ever a pain. Wish I got your offer three years ago! You could have named your price... ;D (Story of my life. :-\)-40hz (June 06, 2011, 05:38 PM)

^Wonder if its battery will still hold a decent charge if it's been 4 years since it last got plugged in. :huh:

Josh:
Does anyone remember this from way back?

That would be a no...Much as you suspected. It was still deader than a door nail after an overnight charge. Battery looks replacable, but I haven't looked at it yet (cound be ugly...).
