Pop–Out Lighted Magnifier

Most interesting not so much for what it is but for what it could be.

From the website:

Tuck this pop–out magnifier in your pocket or bag for all the fine print you encounter when you travel.

Its 2X magnifying lens springs out of its protective case with a squeeze of a button.

Squeeze again and a bright light turns itself on to help you read the tiniest lettering, maps and menus, even when it's dark.

Includes two AAA batteries.

3½ x 2½"; 3 oz.

********************

If a Treo or Palm had one of these screens its utility would be magnified far more than two times.

How is it possible that PDA manufacturers haven't twigged to this ultra–low tech yet enormously useful add–on?
