This is a look at a General Magic DataRover 840F I have. The MagicCap OS on these devices is an interesting take on how to design a GUI.

I got this a while ago and was very impressed by how it feels. The battery is in shockingly good condition. The OS is fun to use, though I suspect if I was using it on a day to day basis I would get over it and find it tedious.
