No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. In all seriousness, this is awesome, but...at a price $100 higher than the entry-level iPad, it's hard to justify. I was super-excited for that Optimus keyboard, too, but at the end of the day, they're both keyboards, even if they do crazy stuff on top of it.

It's a little nostalgic coming from C64/Apple II days having a keyboard+computer in one, but this doesn't make sense anymore. Once you consider the cost of a display, why not just get a netbook or a nettop with display? Even in a developing market, this is pointless.

They should have a photo with hands on that thing. This would instantly explain what's wrong with it.

Why? The thing to the right is not meant to be the display.

Put the screen on the other side of the keyboard and I might go for it. I cram my neck the other way. That's where my 2nd monitor is.

That's not the screen on the right.

I got a sore neck just looking at the picture of that thing. I'm surprised that anyone thought such a device would sell.

Why? Having a touchpad to the right doesn't seem like something that's bad for your neck. You are supposed to hook it up with a monitor.

Go, read the text in the article.

OK, I'm gonna change the subject and complain that this thing is not suitable for left handers. Yep, that'll do it.

Is there an extremely lightweight screen to go with this? I'd love to have a very lightweight computer that I can carry around. I would then Remote Desktop onto the beast running at home.
