The wibrain does have a great device layout (the ergonomic design I keep saying is ideal) ... but the problem is it's too long. There's no way it's going to fit in my pocket. That's why I keep saying that it ergonomically ideal, but not going to happen.

That's the problem with the split keyboard design: it's not going to be a "pocket tablet", it's going to be something bigger than that.

And, of course, the wibrain has 2 other problems.

The first being it runs Windows. If it had full driver support for, say, ubuntu, maybe I'd run it.

The second being: it's vaporware. The latest of its designs looks MUCH better than the one they were floating out there in January/Febraury, but there's still actual device on the market.


Though, with that said, if Nokia wanted to put out a slightly larger device as a "big brother" to the n800 series, the wibrain wouldn't be a bad starting place. Put a back facing camera on it, and maybe slightly taller then 3 inches (for hand comfort) (so maybe it'd be 8"x5" instead of 8"x3"). In that extra space, put a micro-DVI out and an express card slot (which you can use for more USB slots, USB-OTG, card readers, etc.), and some more battery space for longer life.
