The new design closely follows the body plan and design philosophy of the TRS Model 100™, the new machine code-named “Excelsior” is thinner than a MacBook Air™.

In another bold move, RadioShack is using the latest nano-tech fabrication techniques. Excelsior’s rechargeable paper battery is worn inside out under the protection of a thin sapphire coating making the unit’s housing a functional component rather than mere dead weight.

Pushing the power frontier even further, thanks to piezoelectric power cells integrated into the illuminated full travel keyboard which generate power as you type, Excelsior’s battery life is effectively unlimited!

With its integrated support for high bandwidth long range ad hoc Mesh Networking inspired by OLPC™ technology, Excelsior will be able to remain connected to the Net at all times in urban areas with no air charges, while remaining practical in less developed areas of the world where it can fall back to networking through your cell or satellite phone.

Its high contrast color light emitting e-ink display further conserves power and offers unparalleled legibility under a wide range of lighting conditions.

An integrated webcam, microphone/speakers, and bio-metric fingerprint reader round out the base hardware. Naturally a full compliment of ports is provided on the back-pane behind ingeniously designed trap doors that keep dust and gunk away from the connections.

Of course when you are on the road you can’t always find a place to sit down and type, so the Excelsior features a toggle switch that lets you configure it for wireless Audio I/O using your favorite bluetooth headset while it is stored in your luggage or backpack.

In this mode, you can use a stylized Natural Language Interface to access your schedule, address book, dictate memos, and request GPS directions by making requests through the headset’s microphone. Responses from Excelsior are returned in the calming voice of Canadian actor Douglas Rain.

Indeed, the simplicity and elegance of Excelsior’s software rivals its next generation engineering. Hardware buttons integrate the device with the most important Social Networking Applications, which can also be accessed via speech, putting LinkedIn, Twitter and more just a touch away.

With its brilliant industrial design and ingenious use of AI, this ultimate expression of mobile perfection will be a must have for tech savvy executives on the go.
