I still don't think the concept makes sense. Didn't with Foleo and doesn't here. I loved the comment here back in the Foleo-dreading days when someone said something like, "Why don't I just hold this thing up to my ear and leave the Treo at home?"
If you have a smartphone and a laptop, you're done. There isn't room for a product in between them, not on most people's budgets, not when all of the inbetweener's functions are already handled by smartphone or laptop. Just doesn't make sense. If the Foleo or whatever could replace the laptop, then we're talking. I'm all for small, lightweight, full-function, flash laptops.
The Stowaway foldup keyboards for handhelds are about all I could justify buying, because typing is easier, yet they are still pocket-sized items. So even if this thing was $50 like a Stowaway on the discount shelf, I still wouldn't want it because it's something that requires toting.
