Found my old pocket computer at my parents' house, and it still works!

You could choose between RAM vs storage lol, and of course the storage gets wiped when the batteries die

I kind of understand why Microsoft dismissed the iPhone back in 2007. Microsoft devices had full keyboards and daylight readable screens that worked with gloves or anything. On the software side it was completely open. None of the "you can only install apps from the official store that takes a 30% cut."

I loved all the physical buttons on my Pocket PC. It let it double as a game console running Mame.
