Hm, in landscape mode the keyboard only leaves 6 lines for the terminal. Curses apps (vi, mutt, or even plain old top) certainly won't be much fun with that. For the rest, I guess one of the first things people are going to be adding to that button bar will be "| less" ;-)

Portrait mode might actually have been usable with a stylus (those keys look about the same size as the ones on maemo's stylus keyboard, and I definitely can't finger-type accurately on that).
