Do you remember those old legos with the 90 degree swivels? Well, I was thinking about this and an idea came to mind.

How about having the ability to see the time without taking the PDA from its case? Or checking batt life? Here's my solution for PalmOne to implement:


Have a small LCD or cheap LED (like in old car stereo) screen that is situated on the top of the PDA with hinges on the sides. This will also act as a cover for the SD/CF card and can block the power button/voice memo button from being accidentally pushed. In case you're wondering, I made this from scratch in mspaint. :)

Easily put a toggle switch on hardware or OS.
