PocketMage revives the PDA era with e-paper and dual screens

The PocketMage is a crowdfunded clamshell PDA from Talisman Design that pairs a tactile keyboard with a 3.1-inch 320×240 e-paper main display and a 1.8-inch OLED secondary display for a distraction-free productivity device. It runs on an ESP32‑S3 with 2MB RAM and 16MB storage (expandable via microSD) and comes with calendar, journal, dictionary, and a Markdown editor, plus other apps like a calculator, e‑book reader, and browser. It includes a week‑long 1,200 mAh battery, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, USB‑C, and a powered expansion port for hardware add‑ons. Crowd Supply offers two preorder options—$235 for a fully assembled unit or $185 for a DIY kit—in parchment gray or royal purple accents, with shipping not expected before March 2027 at the earliest.
