After watching the video it is apparent that a keyboard this size is too small to touch-type on and a little too large to thumb-type.
I would love to see Fujitsu make the whole unit a little smaller by using a thumb keyboard (similar to the Treos or Blackberrys) and removing some of that bezel and fingerprint scanner. They could get the whole unit down to 6-inches if they could reduce the bevel size to 0.2-inches. It's getting close to Nintendo DS size range (5.25-inches)!
I can't wait until someone makes a similar computer that's the size of a Nintendo DS (pocket-friendly), with a WXGA (1280x720) multi-touch-screen, a decent thumb keyboard and nipple-mouse and has a dedicated button to quickly switch between computer and phone modes. Plus of course WifFi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, and a SSD. Oh yeah, make it fast and have all-day battery life. It doesn't matter what OS it runs as long as it can browse the web and has the Flash player.
@unknown yes, it's the Sharp Willcom D4. well, ok, it's a bit bigger than a nintendo. ok, quite a bit bigger, but still lots smaller than the eee and the fujitsu u1010/u2010/u810 or whatever!
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
