(Disclaimer: I'm one of the disappointed backers of his kickstarter campaign, which went nowhere...)

Every other device on Earth can charge silently when turned off. Second, the keyboard is not just small but also oddly arranged. Maybe some people can adjust to it, but for me, dear lord do I despise the letter Q when I'm using it. Third, there's something odd in the…

Disregard the claim! I have a GPD Pocket and run Ubuntu on it, and it is freakin' awesome. Get the proper image - not the braindead one - from here:

(Also see http://reddit.com/r/gpdpocket/ for more up to date news on this delightful machine..)

#68So what's going on with those Hungarian words on the disassembler pic? :)
