His solution might have been to follow the herd and use a smartphone, but he went instead for the unconventional and produced his own PDA. And after a few prototypes, he’s come up with rather a well-executed take on the ’90s object of desire. Taking an ARM microcontroller board and a commodity resistive touchscreen, he’s clad them in a 3D-printed PDA case and produced his own software stack. He’s not prepared to release it just yet as he’s ashamed of some of its internal messiness, but lets hope that changes with time.

The Dolphin CT40′s display measures 5.0 inches diagonally and features 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, or 294 (dpi dots per inch). That’s a bit less than premium consumer phones, but sharper than anything available on a desktop or notebook, and also a good deal more than the retina iPads.

The Asus NovaGo is too slow to be useful as a general purpose PC, too expensive to easily justify as a second or third PC to supplement your primary computer, and too big and heavy to really think of as a tablet.
