I just found this via Twitter.
Image from website.

“This is the VT-69 portable data terminal. It does everything, like zombo dot com.

The VT-69 portable data terminal fits in your pocket, serves as an interface
for an off-the-shelf $5 single board computer, and costs less than $100.
Probably much less than $100

If you're old school, you can think of it as a portable VT-180, but instead of CP/M, it runs
a full Linux system with an ARM SOC. If you're a tech journalist, think of it as tastier
than paste and the cheapest Cyberdeck ever created.”

It says on the twitter thread that it will eventually be able to be purchased.
Dimensions: 167x118mm

"violence.works" That's rather unfortunate.

Though I think if I actually had to use that thing, I might start to feel violent too.

I think I'd prefer to hack a brother word processor to run linux, it has a great keyboard and the LCD faces the user! https://notsyncing.net/?p=blog&b=2020.lw35-mod

I could see this terminal working if it was a bit smaller so you could thumb type, but it seems like it's slightly too large for that.
