Okay, it’s not really alive. They stuck a fork in that poor bastard for good. That said, they seemed to like the form factor enough to patent it — if not anything else about the device. If the dimensions shown here reflect what the device really would have been like, I miss it more than ever.

Pretenders like the Kno will never win my heart, Courier! You’re always be the only dual-screen touch device for me!*
