Anybody even remember that one company that released this huge hyping event that all the blogs caught year or two ago. They made a tablet and phone that looked okish, whole company was forgotten 2 months after, i wonder if they sold any.
Edit: slow...

I wonder if Nokia will sue to stop this since this might encroach on their IP

Without even going into ergonomics, tactile feedback etc, there's no way around this: an on-screen keyboard eats badly into display real estate, and a finger-friendly one doubly so. If all a user wants to type are one-liners (SMS, twitter and whatnot) that may be acceptable, but for the rest of us a physical keyboard is a hard (pun intended) requirement.
I'm guessing it's not perfect with all langauges but I think someone might come up with a solution to this.

I'm happy for this news. Always a shame to see a good thing die. Would love to see what they come up with. I wouldn't even mind seeing a joining of Mozilla's boot2gecko
