Hi.
As a “normal” linux device this would not be useful for me.
However, I remember very fondly my Psion PDA with a similar form factor.

So I think at least some users could warm to a device like this if it provided a similar usability as the Psion.
This would require to tailor the hardware a bit into that direction, mostly the keyboard I guess to support keyboard driven operation and then there would be the software...
Good discussion though, lets see if something comes out of it :-)

EDIT:
Just found these Gemini PDA devices and they seem to come quite close to a Psion ..
Tempting tempting.

Not much info about the software though. A standard Android or Linux would be of no use to achieve the great productivity of the Psion
