There's been a few all right. I remember the Celio Redfly for one. None of them worked so well.

That said, tablets didn't work so well when Microsoft tried them out 15 years ago, but they blew up later. Same with a number of other techs that weren't ready. Is this the time for smartphone computers? Nah, but keep an open mind!

Or when Eo/GO tried it 10 years before that!
