Summary: Perhaps HP will have one before long

The new H-P 28C calculator looks like it's moving in the right direction.
It opens like a book, has a full alphabet of keys, and a display screen.
No pointing device, no real keyboard, and the screen is too small -- but
it does have a nifty infrared link to the (optional) printer.  Now if your
portable machine was thought of as a subset of a larger PC -- perhaps in
continuous contact via some form of cellular telephone link -- improvements
in the H-P design might just qualify.
