Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9944144A1] The electronic device (8) is provided with a housing (9), a display (10), inputting means, a microprocessor, a control unit, a memory, a source of energy and one or more interfaces for exchanging data with a peripheral device. The display (10) is preferably an LCD display and is dimensioned in such a way as to resemble a page of a normal-sized book. The display (10) is also integrated in a flat, frame-shaped housing (9). The inputting means for the control unit of the device are configured as a touch screen on the display (10). A station (15) for receiving and transmitting signals over a radio network enables electronic data such as e-mails, telefaxes, Internet data etc. to be exchanged. Said data can then be visualised on the display (10). The advantages of the inventive electronic device are that it can be configured to be very light and easy to handle, is universal and still has a relatively large display.
