I had a concept of a folding screen portable long ago, back in 2001 if I remember correctly. (Sorry folks, Nintendo didn't invent the hinge along with the DS) Above is a sketch I did on a PDA (and still have in my Outlook notes) Originally it was going to have fold-up "joystick handles" with a D-pad on the left and a trigger on the right.

That data could then be used to 'clone' cards and use them for bogus purchases. More →
