The Personal Internet Browser from Interactive Imaging Systems is a palm-size computer with an unusual display system. It has a kind of "peephole" that is 1.25 inch in diameter through which you can see a 640x480, 12-bit resolution image that appears as a virtual 21" VGA monitor viewed from 33" inches away. With no practical way to type in commands or data, it is clearly intended as a browsing device. It runs Windows CE, and thus supports an embedded version of Internet Explorer. Browsing functions are controlled with an "OptiNav" navigation system, vertical/horizontal auto-scroll buttons, and four software-configurable buttons to quickly launch particular launch programs. For web connectivity, it has two slots for CompactFlash Type II cards that support Bluetooth, 802.11, and GSM networks.
