Your PDA from the '90s got an Android update at CES 2018

2018-01-08
it's been 20 years since the sion series 5 PDA jumped out of our hip pockets and into our hearts but if you want to channel a little bit of that old-school call then the gemini is for you it's kind of a PDA and kind of a smartphone it runs vanilla Android but it also has a full physical QWERTY keyboard so it kind of operates like a small laptop or the PDA that you would have had back in the 90s it runs Android 7.1 or you can use on Linux OS it has a 10 core processor a dedicated graphics processor and 64 gigs of storage on the sides will find ports for headphones and USB C and you can also get a dongle that will give you extra ports answering a call is as simple as flipping open your phone or just holding it up to your ear and it works both ways you won't find this piece of delightful retro tech in stores just yet it's still in prototype stage and it's got an IndieGoGo campaign for $5.99 u.s. you'll get a 4G unlocked version or for $4.99 you can get the Wi-Fi version it also comes with an optional peripheral camera that can snap onto the back though if you want the regular front facing camera you'll find that inside to the big selling point of this one the original creators of the Scion were involved in the design and development of the Gemini so you know it's got that retro cred where it counts
