Sure your iPhone can wow friends and family with its variety of programs and futuristic touchscreen technology, but it still fails when it comes to one basic function—writing long documents. The new Pomera DM10 excels at this function, and only this function. Smaller and lighter than most laptops, the device fits into your pocket but features a full-function fold out keyboard when it’s time to sit down and pound out the next chapter of your sci-fi epic.

Business execs and super geeks won’t be impressed, but for writers of all stripes (until the OLO becomes a reality) this kind of simple and highly portable device is perfect. It’s set to hit stores in Japan on November 11, for 27,300 yen ($280) here.
