Ever use an IBM laptop? their keyboards are quite nice. Full sized keys (including backspace), no windows key, and even the arrow keys in the right place, ie. separated from the rest of the keyboard. They also have a solid feel to them. I think detaching the keyboard is the next logical step in making their laptop keyboards as good as their desktop ones.
The trackpoint (read eraser tip) is also quite nice. They've spent a lot of time to make it feel right.
Though you are right about the un-upgradable interior, but Ion runs quite nicely on my 2+ year old T21 thank-you-very-much:)
do you even know how the internet came to be what it is? ARPA was a major patron of university research. The researchers in the university system built the internet by using it, communicating with each other , fixing problems and creating new solutions. The ideals of open science and the quest for knowledege is what drove the development of the technologies that built the internet. If they listened to you're logic, they would have kept on using the telephone, carbon copies and snail mail. and the internet would be some closed, poorly built, US military system, and you'd have no way of posting your comment.

Is it just me or does that picture look horribly photoshopped to anyone else?
