I think this is the perfect device! I hate thumb devices and devices without any keyboard. There are millions of people whom really want a computer with a real keyboard that is small enough to be portable that runs standard desktop OS. The entire market of UMPC and other small devices lack the creativity and especially the usable form factor that this device has.

I disagree with the other post about a reincarnation of a Zaurus. Those early clamshell devices have a huge market potential right now if they were updated with color, a standard desktop operating system and kept their small but highly functional form factor. MS abandoned that operating system the HPC OS and focused on the PPC OS. The band aid solution for those devices lack of functionality is the terrible invention of the thumb input. Everyone I know hates those with a passion. The majority of the people just want a touch type keyboard period!
