good golly miss molly... i can't figure out if the person who came up with that is a genius or an idiot.

i can't imagine getting used to that. i already have a stowaway, and this doesn't seem to have any advantage that i can see except they say "you don't have to unfold it!" um, come on, that's a stretch.

what are other people's thoughts?

I'd vote for idiot! If you check out their website you can download a demo that lets you try it out using your keyboard.

For totally strange - check out the wearable option where the keyboard is strapped to one arm and your pda to the other.

The first time I saw this mentioned on VC I thought it was a big joke.

Thumbs up

I think it's a great idea IF you want to learn a new way of typing.

Since I have been using the standard for 30+ years my fingers would never be able to learn a one handed system.

Exclamation genius!--sorta, it's been thought of

This has GREAT applications for wearable computing. Think about it in the context of this keyboard being strapped to a forearm or a leg.

I would give it a try before I decide if this is a good invention. Add this to your collection and you will look like Batman.

I'm afraid that I would never be able to use a normal qwerty correctly once I became proficient on the half-keyboard.
