Awesome. Just don't know if you'll have compatibility issues with other programs.

Wow that looks great maybe ill move from ppc to linux handhelds. I think that sliding KB is soo f*ckin cool. But what the hell is QVGA?

[RICoder]

pretty cool.  and to think I am so anti-linux.<br><br>I like the keyboard a lot, 'bout time someone figured that out.  Don't know about the OS, but it's sure to get a TON of support.

It looks very thin from the photo's. I remember reading about this many moons ago, I wonder if it will ever hit the market.

I think the keyboard is stupid as hell, and a waste of hardware that could be better utilized.<br><br>I get along just fine with the SIP.

Well, the keyboard would be cool if it came out and then folded out left and right so it would be larger like a stow-away. but..its so tiny how can i push those little buttons

[Luciano U. Werner]

Seems almost like you have to use the stylus. And that's a "feature"?

[Matt]

I think it looks big enough to do the "two-thumb" typing that you use on two-ways and blackberry's....

[jongjungbu]

Oh. I suppose it would have it's uses. And it would look cool to those folks who know nothing.

junk

I like the keyboard.  I find myself wanting for one all the time.  So the chicklet style works for me.

Robert,<br><br>QVGA is quarter VGA resolution (320x240).  <br><br>Anyone know what CPU and how much RAM this device has?<br><br>The keyboard is dorky.  You'll have the PDA in one hand, you'll have a stylus in the other, and now you've got to type on that dinky keyboard with your thumbs?  Not for me.  <br><br>Linux?  Who cares?<br><br>
