I’m trying to identify an obscure pocket computer I saw for sale on a retro-electronics website, probably sometime within the last several years.

What I remember:

• Flat, non-clamshell, landscape pocket-computer shape
• Similar in concept and size to a Tandy Pocket Computer PC-8, but with a more modern plastic design
• Very thin
• Colorful casing, possibly green.
• Tiny one-line or perhaps two-line monochrome LCD
• Small QWERTY keyboard
• Intended specifically as an educational programming computer
• I believe it ran BASIC and produced text-only output.
• It was listed for around $20 when I saw it
• The seller also carried retro electronics and classroom-response clickers, but the device itself was not a clicker
• It did not appear to be made by Casio, Sharp, or another familiar calculator company
• It may have had a small solar cell, but that memory is uncertain

It was not a VTech learning laptop, Cybiko, SMART Response XE, or Tiger Data Pad.
