Remove your head from your design behind and think for a second, please.

You are NOT going to get a mass-market device sold in a mass-market fashion with a Dvorak or other keyboard. Period. It's not happening. It is not anywhere near remotely approaching cost-effective to do so, given how many people haven't even heard of the layout, let alone use it on a daily basis. Moved keys might happen, but if the rate of seeing them in the wild are any indication I doubt it. But then you go on to say that pointing devices are useless because you'll have a mouse. I thought you were worried about efficiency - I guess you were just being difficult for the sake of it! Most people like using the touchpad with a laptop if they don't want to drop a mouse in, and the glories of Trackpoints for efficiency with touch-typers have been extolled for years. Also, Windows only being a deal-breaker? I thought a Linux user could easily install it on their own. Besides, as we've already learned, all that bloatware that comes with a laptop also serves to drop the price, so if it DID come with Linux you all would be whining about it costing more!

... because it's a ThinkPad and they have looked like black monoliths since the dawn of time?

... I don't get it, I really don't. You iPhone zealots regularly talk about how incredibly awesome your closed-garden app store is, while I sit here with my former Palm OS devices and current Windows Mobile device, go online, and find applications everywhere, to include even beta stuff or old prototypes that will never be finished yet are awesome in their current state. Furthermore, I can then make my own while being able to test them on my own device (and, at least in the case of my old PalmOS stuff, on a free emulator using the ROM files downloaded from my device. Haven't tried it for my Treo though) ...

Is the convenience of 'a few multi-touch swipes' inside a walled garden better than being able to get on any website from any Internet connection to download and install any application I want without having to run anything first while examining a large bevy of supporting materials for each application?

So out of over 100 comments, a grand total of THREE (when I looked) noted that Microsoft isn't even responsible for the charges yet getting sued.

Forget the merits of the case, starting with the right company is higher on the priority list ...

... because those military style warnings are SHORT, TO THE POINT, AND QUICK TO READ which is why the military uses that style? Three words vs. an entire sentence (or two words by getting rid of the caution) - gee, tough choice.

Then again, you're also the avatar of brilliance that posted a language crack that wasn't even the right language to mock and a pointless jab at Bush (which wouldn't even be a factor in Japan), so I guess I should have expected further idiocy when you made your own topic.

It's not like programs like this for portable devices common to students have existed for ages ... oh, wait, THEY HAVE.

I'd rather spend the money on a decent graphing calculator with a flash-card program - it'll serve you MUCH better in the long run. Now, if only the new TI line (even the 'CAS' version) didn't pale in functionality versus a TI-89 or HP-49 ...

Because the sound transfer system makes it easy to post levels anywhere, such as Youtube?

Nothing to see here, just one more over-zealous Apple fanboi who is there to give the general Mac user a really bad name ...

I wonder, could you run, say, Phoinix (Palm OS 3/4 GB emulator, used it on an m105) or the HP-4x emulator I ran on my Clie SJ-33 (Palm OS 4) then use it as an example of how the PDA is clearly superior to the devices emulated? Or use the emulator to emulate the emulator ...

Obvious sarcasm is obvious ;)

Not to be too much of a buzzkill, but in Europe, don't games cost something like twice what they cost in the US due to the craptastic method of price conversion (why, 50 USD = 50 Euros amirite?) ....
