Tiny Linux PDA: Filewalker

I'd be interested to see how well the interface works." The English link may be more useful. From the price listed on the site, it would sell for US$560.

    I've heard about this type of input before. Anything other than a stylus and I'm happy. What I'm really waiting for is direct brain input.

    "Hello. I am your PDA. You can call me Wintermute."

    I'd say you have about as much of a chance to get any speed out of that thing as any right-handed person ;)

    That was a joke, but anyway, the sad truth is that there are few lefties, and companies like this probably cannot afford to create two versions of their product.

    Hell, how many left-handed mice and joysticks are out there?

    But there are good news for lefties as well.
