    to be perfectly honest you gmb, it is a pretty pointless thing. all laptops have a keyboard, obviously and if you have a UMPC or a PDA with you, you might as well use the onscreen or attached keyboard. And besides, if you used it in a café, it would look a bit strange.

    just don't forget that you will have to re-learn how to type because there will be no keystroke feeling. the table won't move when you strike a key..

    it's probably decent for a phone,but considering it doesn't look that small it's probably better to just get a folding keyboard.
