All of the full PC computers that are portable enough to carry in a large pocket that are available for one do not have a touch type keyboard. Second the ones that are small enough have pen input or thumb input which is a complete joke. There is not one practical full PC that a business person could carry in a pocket that provides reasonable keyboard input. While I would say his prototype is very crude it does to me demonstrate a viable product that I would buy.<br><br>For most mobile sales reps & business managers on the go, we do not need a full 16.9 size screen. I could easily see this being carried in a large coat pocket with no problems at all. I would like see it a little lighter as other UMPC's with similar specs are a bit lighter, closer to the 1lb mark. Having a full PC that has a good keyboard that can be carried in my coat is worth it to me. I think it would be worth about $700 to $1500 depending on the memory, battery life, and performance.

- Higher cost?

Sorry, the whole concept need to fix two of the three above before this is a good idea.
