Am I the only person yearning for a new clamshell clie?

I mean one that follows the form factor of the original HPC's. Like the cassiopeia A-11, that was my first pda. My first useful pda was a palm personal ;) . I'd just love it if someone preferably Sony, made a pda, in clamshell design with those awesome (:rolleyes: ) chicklet keys and a portrait screen. I mean 128 mb of ram, bluetooth, os 5.2, light up keyboard, basically all the great stuff from the current clies in a form factor that would feel more like a mini laptop then a tablet. Bet they could even squeeze in a compact flash slot, and a 56k landline modem.

I dunno, is it just me? Am I dwelling in the past? Is there any hope?

Also if anyone has one of those zaurus SL-C700's I'd be interested in buying it or trading for it.

I have a non functional Zaurus (the original one from about '93) want to make me an offer =) It's got an entire megabite of ram and those lovely chiclet keys you like.

I had one of those first H/PC's and I did love the screen being in landscape mode. Not sure how well that would work with Palm OS being more geared to a portrait view. Though that new Dana laptop thing has a landscape type screen. I would be intrested in seeing a device like this, but maybe without the modem. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth would be great though.
