blogs.computerworld.com — IMOVIO launched today a smaller alternative to a subnotebook -- much smaller. The new iKIT is about the size of a PDA from ten years ago, but has a QWERTY keyboard and connects to the Internet at 3G speeds via your cell phone or Wi-Fi.

Linux is great for trying to make stuff like this. Not only is it free, but it is open source, it will run on anything, and there is a great pool of developers familiar with it.

My Mobile makes that Tiny New Linuxe "PC" Look Huge! And WTF is wrong with bigger stuff? I bet an IPhone is more functional than that

It seems to have predictive algorithms to help with speeding up the selection of characters however it suffers from the fact that if it predicts wrong then it provides no method to correct it. I wanted a 'g' next yet the selection of characters went defhij which was less the helpful.

I am a complete n00b but,...Why doesn't someone just make some new palm based linux OSs, and totally breathe life back into Palm. My 5 year old TX has an arm 312mhz chip, 128meg of ram and a 2 gig "HD" and WiFi just begging for something a little more "open platform" than the palmOS. I would freaking buy one (or donate) to that cause....

I only carry the stuff when I need to work on a long project. Most of the time, that keyboard sits at home.
