pomera | GIZMODO.cz

Made to usher in a great writing experience in the digital age, the pomera is a pocket typewriter that combines the simplicity and ease-of-use of the past along with the wide-range functionality and portability of the future. The combination is a well-blended mix of nostalgia and modernity, making the pomera a great product for pretty much anyone.

Probably the first of its kind, the pomera is a digital typewriter rather than a computer. Focusing on two things, i.e., being small and being useful, the pomera lets you write/type anywhere with absolute ease, letting content writers, authors, poets, scriptwriters, technical writers, etc. set up shop anywhere and type with the effortlessness of having a keyboard right in front of you… however, the pomera is just about as small as your wallet.

The pomera is to writing what the Kindle is to reading. Designed to provide a focused, unparalleled experience, the pomera is compact yet opens up into a full-sized keyboard, complete with an e-ink screen. Made to do one job and do it spectacularly, the pomera comes with a keyboard that feels as complete as a laptop keyboard, and an e-ink screen that feels like the real deal, while lasting longer too. Built to run on two AA batteries, the pomera lets you write, edit, save, and even send bodies of text (and even spreadsheets) to other devices via an SD card, USB, or a QR code. When done, it folds back into its small avatar that slides easily into your pocket. Developed in Japan, the pomera comes in both Japanese and English formats. Designed to do one thing and do it with sheer expertise, the pomera is heaven-sent for people who spend hours drafting documents, allowing them to write comfortably, and without any distractions. Also, in the words of the great Ron Swanson, “They can’t hack into a typewriter.”

pomera Enters the US Market

With the first model having been released in Japan in 2008, pomera will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2018. In 2008, people who were using laptops on the go or on business trips were unhappy about the heavy weight, large size, slow startup and short battery life. They would carry heavy laptops just to take notes. During meetings, they would surf websites, becoming distracted from work. They wanted an easy-to-use tool just for entering text, which led them to develop pomera. Now it is used taking notes as well as for writing, such as novels. They have launched pomera on Kickstarter, because they want this unique tool to be used by people in the U.S. and Japan.
