Link

The Link is a mobile communications device. The hand-held device is both camera, phone and data-pad allowing voice-activated command functions and face-to-face communication. When opened, the screen extends to display a six-inch surface which can be drawn out into a nine-inch surface for greater use as a keyboard or work surface.
The Link was, like most technological innovations, popular for a short while and then faded as Cyber-based technology allowed for communications and connections without the need for a hand-held object. Still, the link survived in the dark and grey areas, allowing communication on back channels, sub-nets, etc. 
This technology could be analogized to the PDA that swept across the world for a short time but was quickly replced by smartphones and tablets. However, the design, ease of use and expandability have made them popular with the 'Grey World' of tech builders and in-home designers.
