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.

  It is very difficult to get to -10 karma, which is the minimum I think? Once you post at negative, people stop modding you down.
  
  IF ANYONE HAS -10 OR LESS KARMA TELL ME, I WANT TO CONGRADULATE YOU.

Linux is gay! All surveys suggest that linux users are gay geeks such as the owners of this site! And most geeks use windows or a macintosh!

  keep posting stuff about cmdrtaco, it gets modded down quickly.
  here is an example.....
  
  Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda caught in circle jerk--kills self
  
  I just read this on a news site. It doesn't mention many details but says Slashdot's founder Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda (AKA Stewart Denton) has been found dead. Murdered himself after being caught in a circle jerk scandal with fellow Slashdot editors (using aliases). Whether or not you were a fan of his openly gay attitude and right wing political views, you cannot deny his contributions to the alternative sexuality community. As a memorial, he will be ass reamed one final time before his pasty white body is burried. It is indeed a black day as he will be sadly missed by his former turd-burglars (for The Turd Report). Truly a homo-geek icon.

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?
