There are many already existing programmable handheld computers.  The
Psion Organiser series are about 12.5x7.5x2.5 cm (5x3x1) inches and
have a 16x2 or 20x4 line LCD.  Built in RAM ranges from 8KB to 96KB,
two internal slots contain up to 256KB of EPROM, Flash EPROM, or
battery backed RAM.  Ruggedized and OEM models with sealed cases and
membrane keyboards are also available.  The built in compiled language
is BASIC like but with structuring.  Assembly language is fully
supported for high speed, small size applications.
