Clockwork's PicoCalc is a handheld portable computer powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico H (you might well want to upgrade to wireless). It has a qwerty keyboard, 320×320 display, SD card slot, integrated speakers, a 3.5mm phone jack and an 18650 battery compartment. At $75, it's the company's cheapest model yet.

ClockworkPi v2.0 mainboard

Raspberry Pi Pico 1 H Core module (ARM32-bit Dual-core Cortex M0+, 264KB RAM, 2MB flash)

320×320 4-inch IPS screen (SPI interface)

Ultra-portable QWERTY Backlit keyboard on board (I2C interface)

Dual speaker

ABS plastic shell & 2.5mm Hex key

Tempered glass cover

32GB high-speed SD-card with optimized BASIC firmware

Every day is another struggle to not pull the trigger on a DevTerm; now I have two problems. Batteries are not included, but the source code certainly is.
