Commander in Chief daughter's texting

Does anyone know what make and model texting device Rebecca is using?

videonovels...

I'm more interested in knowing, "What other shows/movies?" does this
beautiful young woman appear in?

wendyg...

No, and I was wondering that, too. It *could* one of the Nokia
Communicator range -- or at least, the same concept. The 9xxx series were
that sort of thing, based on Psion handhelds, so they had the clamshell
design of hers (though they looked somewhat different).

Of course, it could just be that the props department mocked something up
they thought would look cool.

Chuck Olson...

Thanks, Wendy, for the nice suggestions - - it launched me into quite a
spate of web searches. Most products, as you pointed out, look different
from her square-corner, not so wide device, so it may indeed be just a prop.
I really appreciate your help, though.
Best regards,
Chuck

As no one else in this thread seems to want to answer this question,
I'll venture that it looks like a SideKick to me.

Chuck Olson...

It's closer than anything we've seen up to now, but on her unit, the display
appears to just slide up, uncovering the keyboard, and the keyboard is
exactly the same width as the display. There's a real good sequence halfway
through the last segment of ABC's current on-line episode. But thanks for
the suggestion - - Chuck

PastaLover...

Maybe it's a OQO.

Same slide up display.

The vice president on the show uses a Gestetner machine for his instant
messaging.

That's a joke, but Coyote was part of a group 40 years ago that did
use a Gestetner machine for instant publishing. Not just to print
notices of coming events, or to write about things that had happened,
but to write about things as they happen. As he said in his book,
it was a "prototypical world wide web".

PastaLover...

it's definitely a OQO. Just ran through the season finale and at the
very end, at the after speech party, where the daughter meets her guy
friend, she holds it up and it's very clearly the same as the picture on
the OQO website.

I've seen the OQO on the web for a couple of years, but always
envisioned it larger, more like a tablet PC. But it's barely larger than
a PDA. Might be interested in getting one if they're that small.

Chuck Olson...

You nailed it! Great! Thanks!

Howard U. Dewing...

I'm sure you meant to say "was" using.

akjack...

Was Commander in Chief broadcast LIVE? If the program was recorded,
the correct verb tense would have been past.

ANIM8Rfsk...

What if it took place in the FFUUUUUUUUUUUTUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRE?

Howard U. Dewing...

Barry Margolin...

I'd say that the tense should reflect whether you're asking the question
as you're watching it or after. I.e. if you're watching it with
someone, and turn to them you'd ask "what is she using?". But if you

wendyg...

Geeky, aren't we? :)

wait until the next day and ask someone at the proverbial water cooler,
you'd say "what was she using?". After all, even if the show continues,
the question is about an event you watched at a particular time -- she
could easily get a new cell phone by the next episode.

Now that you raise this, C in C does/did take place in the future. In an
earlier episode I seem to recall a discussion of previous Presidents
that suggested Teddy Bridges took office sometime after George W.

akjack...

Hmm, I didn't know that since I've never watched CinC.

Since the time is in the future, did anyone see pigs flying?
