Pen Computer. No much information about this computer. It is composed of a sockle unit with 5 Pen. the Virtual Keyboard Pen, the Projector pen, a main unit pen . Anyone who can give more information about this can contact me so i can repost the comments here The design concept uses five different pens to make a computer. One pen is a CPU, another a camera, one creates a virtual keyboard, another projects the visual output and thus the display and another a communicator (a phone). All five pens can rest in a holding block which recharges the batteries and holds the mass storage. Each pen communicates wireless, possibly Bluetooth The design paradigm in P-ISM is quite different than a notebook, PDA or even a cell phone. Each of these are self-defining by their shape and form factor which is one integrated unit. This is good and bad. It is good in that if the unit can be positioned or held the way it is defined it works well. The bad aspect is that all like units are just that – alike. While what the P-ISM seeks to do is to create a new form factor based on the individual user. However, this has its own compromises – a surface is needed to make it functional. What is important about P-ISM is that it challenges the notion of what is a personal computing device in a form factor which begins as a pen but is much more. - Notice - This information was posted by reaperofchaos (many thanks) More Pictures Here

    I assume the pen computer is the P-ISM prototype by NEC. The http://www.nec-design.co.jp/showcase/ shows some a little information on the P-ISM along with its other future design ideas. The P-ISM was displayed at the 2003 ITU Telecom World Conference. Additional information from the product along with more pictures of the product can be found at http://www.wave-report.com/other-html-files/P-ISM%202.htm.
