Is that a wrong link? Or a joke? I don't get it.

But if anyone else was interested, there is a new review at gearlog.com and I think it answers a couple potential questions.

The main points I get from it are:
  • Processor good enough for video
  • "a terminal program that falls down into the Bash shell"
  • Uses SD only and not SDHC
  • 18mm keys (slightly smaller)

Video? Cool. I was hoping/expecting that someone would be able to develop something and it looks like it's actually possible.

I know almost nothing about Linux, so I don't know what the significance of Bash is, but the article makes it sound like a good thing.

Too bad about the SD card. I will be saving some money because of this, but it's always nice to have a higher capacity option.

So it has slightly smaller keys, but it doesn't sound like it's too much of a problem. If they're not smaller than the Palm wireless keyboard, then I can live with that. (But hopefully a little larger than that. I'd measure my keys if I could find my ruler)
