Yuck!

Imagine trying to type on that keyboard, it'd be like trying to text
on a phone.

I'm assuming it's a Gameboy sized thing but with a bigger footprint,
it doesn't seem to know what it is and thus won't satisfy any market.

You're going to have to put it down to type unless you have elastic
thumbs and the game D-Pad looks horrendous, not to mention there
doesn't appear to be corresponding fire-buttons.

Portable devices in my opinion shouldn't have hard disks no matter how
small. They'd make a hum and eat far more juice than solid state. The
batteries won't last that long.

I remember a similar all-in-one device coming out a few years back
called Cybiko. It was aimed at the Gameboy market and promised free
games and e-mail etc. but it vanished before it was launched.

;-)

I'd love to see a laptop of some sort made out of the µA1 motherboard
though, it'd have to have a cool identity to create market interest.
Not just any old PC looking laptop.

Maybe it's time for white laptops to come back into fashion, or even
padded leather!

:-D :-D :-D
