So I'm watching the "Dalek" episode of the 2005 series of Doctor Who. And there's this aide who does something odd with his PDA: he expands it.
Close-up comes, and what do I see? One of the silver SL-5XXX Zaurus models. This episode was set in something like 2020, so I'm guessing that by this time Microsoft has been supplanted by the open-source movement and retro hardware. Attached are two shots of the close-up. I've also made a mediocre quality MP4 video clip of the short sequence if anyone wants it, but there's not much more revealed than what you're seeing in these images.
