My point was that if you look at a picture like that, how do you know it's a good idea? Although granted, looking again at you mail you don't really state this or that about the "goodness" of it... > http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/cebit-web-site-shows-origami-ui/ Looks horribly painful to use, just take your keyboard in your hand like that and try to move you thumb in an arc. It's doable, but only after letting got the firm grip on the device. Now, given that origamis are relatively huge, it probably would slip from your hands if you try to use two thumbs. Also the keyboard is most likely useless the moment you put it into a stand or on the table... Not to mention the elevated risk of RSI. Would be interesting to try though. Anyone up to hacking one of those for maemo?-) -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
