So plug a USB keyboard in if you're going to be doing some serious typing. If you just need to type in a few lines, the virtual keyboard would be fine. A USB keyboard gives far more flexibility than XO-1 currently has in terms of languages, layout, cost, and manufacturers. Being tied to a single keyboard/touchpad manufacturer makes everyone sad. http://www.pricewatch.com/keyboards/usb.htm shows ~$4 for a basic keyboard, and bulk rates could probably do even better.. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
