Guys, the taskbar/tray concept is cluttered on a 640x480 desktop PC--what the hell makes you think it's appropriate on a screen of smaller resolution!? Those tabs on the top waste a lot of space, too. Widescreen is great--when you use it appropriately. Take advantage of that wide aspect and put tabs, palettes, etc. on the side(s)!

As for the keyboard, there are several keys that don't need to be there. The "designers" (most likely engineers that have never studied ergonomics and psychology) need to go back to simplicity school.

Oh, wait, this thing runs Linux, so its target audience is a group that likes things uglier and more complicated than necessary...]]>Aug 18th 2006 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/
the idea that i could fold into a candybar phone and just use it like a phone is pretty attractive too... and since its linux, i'd bet there are decent programming tools for it out there somewhere...]]>Aug 18th 2006 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 18th 2006 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 18th 2006 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 18th 2006 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 18th 2006 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 18th 2006 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 19th 2006 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Aug 19th 2006 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/road-keeps-their-linux-handy-pc-concept-alive/Oct 3rd 2006 9:07AM
