This is very cool, especially the choice of screen!
I've often thought about how the PDAs of yore (and Nokia dumbphones) had monochrome LCD screeens that were perfectly usable for text and had week-long battery life.
It's something I'm hoping will make a comeback as more people begin to realize that the "there's an app for that" mentality is leading to the creation of apps that aren't necessarily the right fit for a smartphone anymmore.
I sort of miss that era of PIM, and would love to have a modern PDA with a monochrome LCD, great battery life, fold-out keyboard, and—critically—the ability to easily sync with Gmail and Google Calendar. As far as I can tell the syncing story with 20-year-old Palm Pilots is not great these days.
