I saw it at comdex and was severly dissapointed.

MY two questions are - how hard is it to TAP the screen? you barely have to move oyur hand 3 inches to cover the entier screen. Fingernails work great in lakc of stylus.

Covering up the graffiti area requires using third party software to graffiti. bad idea

A good idea would've been to put a joystick-like mouse on the stowaway keyboard - w/ corresponding driver support.

Now THAT would be worth upgrading keyboards for, and would make them more money than this silly idea!
