This is my dream computer! A touch type keyboard! that is so incredible in a device that is so compact it looks like it will fit into jacket pockets? Will they be sold in the US? If not how can I buy one that will work here in the US?
Nokia is trying its hand at tablet mobile yet again …. Follow the link for more http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3669465936.html
Nokia is not much of a threat as they have never realized the fact that if you create a device even a nicely designed one that if it does not run the mainstream OS very few will buy it. Nokia still uses Sybian and Linux becuase they are too cheap to pay the MS royalties. I almost bought the communicator by Nokia until I found out it was still Symbian OS. Their tablet is also the same not mainstream OS.
What I want is just a simple laptop in my pocket and I want to use it with a real keyboard just like a laptop is that too much to ask? Why haven’t computer companies realized something so obvious? Everyone enjoys a laptop but many would like the option of a pocket size version but we do not want thumb keys and pen and voice are just not reliable nor as easy as a keyboard. Duh…
I agree! why has it taken so long for anyone to realize that a simple coat pocket touch type keyboard computer is what many want? Problem seems to be is only Korea has them? Nobody wanted a thumb keyboard; that is a band aid for palm size devices too small to be practical for inputting information. The weak UMPC sales proves that a device too large to fit in your coat pocket is also not what most people want.
I sure hope something like this is available in the US next year?
Yes, something that fits my pocket and something that’s usable, and i don’t end up straining my neck/fingers with … Also should have a good camera (still/video), a nifty GPS along with a big screen (is it asking for too much???) …
I think this is a great device that has huge potential even in other countries such as the US, UK, etc. where they may not have Wimax as just the hardware portability and great design is enough reason to purchase it.
