Not related to the Windows Pocket PC stuff. I thought for a second it might be making a comeback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_PC

I knew a guy that had one of these back then with Linux on it. In that moment I felt like I had seen it all, that was it for me.

The form factor I'd like to see come back is something like the oqo, but of course with modern hardware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO

It's not exactly the same form factor, but the Fxtec Pro 1 [0] is similar in that it's a landscape slider. Company unfortunately doesn't have a good track record of shipping devices on-time, though COVID is at least partly to blame there.
