I don't know what that's called either, but it's been more than great. Each key can be pressed to the left or to the right, resulting in a different letter. What it gives me is a small, full keyboard, no need for T9, and no need for tiny tiny keys like a blackberry or a Palm.
I love it:)

Precursor?? You are one optimistic person..
I'm amazed that this is news :-) We've had this in Egypt (yes, the one in Africa) for a year or more. Just plug a 3G thumb drive-like appendix into your USB port and you're online. No latté required.
The only difference seems to be that it's actually a WiFi hotspot, which really sounds like a disadvantage. You're limited by battery capacity while having a USB attachment that's powered by your laptop means you just plug the laptop in and you're good, at least till you starve.
