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.

    Does this input method have any advantages other than it being one-handed?

    It sure does!

    You can jack off to shemale porn on the tiny screen while at the same time writing your mother an e-mail message.

    This is one of the many possibilities of having a multi-threaded OS like Linux running on your PDA.

    with a very unique (one-handed) means of inputting characters.

    Something is either "unique" or it is not. There are not levels or gradations of uniqueness. Unique means "one of a kind." Have you ever thought of saying that something was "somewhat one of a kind" or "very one of a kind"? Of course not.

    P.S. This is not "off-topic". If it can't be discussed here, where can it be discussed?
