The screen apparently is a colour unit, but it reproduces them really poorly.

I've got an iPhone and do a fairly decent job typing on it, even without looking, due to auto-correct and the keys being in standard places. But I admit it's still not as easy as a physical keyboard.

This device *has* a physical keyboard, but they don't have the decency to put the keys in a standard staggered-key format (like on a real keyboard), and it looks like there is little to no tactile sense of where the keys are, either.

Way to combine the worst of both worlds.

Other than that, the device looks pretty slick though.]]>Dec 8th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/08/datawinds-pocketsurfer2-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/08/datawinds-pocketsurfer2-hits-the-fcc/Dec 8th 2007 6:36PM
