Tempting. Where can I part with my money? They mention Indiegogo four times on that page but not a single link. Search on IGG yields only the old GPD Win campaign.

The Indiegogo campaign has yet to launch. I'm curious about this one as well. No touch screen does hamper my interest slightly though.

Sadly, only capacitive. Which kinda precludes the use for anything other than swipe up/down/left/right and maybe hit a button, if you are lucky. Not good for anything you might actually want to use a mini laptop for. I guess you cannot stop the march f "progress".

You all missed the most important part of the anouncement:
Imagine a scene where a fashionable woman takes a 7-inch laptop from her shoulder bag with a cup of coffee placing next to her. She drinks coffee while gracefully typing the text on her keyboard to chat with the girlfriends. I believe a lot of fashionable women will be crazy to have such a pocket laptop. Before she get Pocket, she needs to carry a bulky MacBook Air.

A Linux engineer drinks coffee while opening Vim to program scripts with Pocket. Isn’t it all fashionable people’s dream?
Finally a device that satisfies the needs of fashionable women and linux engineers.

Purchase will be inevitable for me!

I saw the bit about the Linux engineers but missed the bit about the fashionable women.
IMO if they target their pitch at fashionable women then they have lost already. This is not a device for that target audience. Apple products are.
