I've been interested in this for a while

Handykey Twiddler
not a conventional folder, and I've not tried it, but a usb chording keyboard and trackpoint mouse in one. Slower than querty touch typing, but small, one piece, keyboard and mouse in one, through one usb port, Linux compatible, (it says), and, the usp for me is being totally mobile - one handed operation and free of needing a desktop type surface - you could type walking around.

Anyone got experience of actually using one?

6000 - Tosa / USB Mouse?

Hi folks - looks like a grand forum you have here.
I'm a complete Zaurus and Linux virgin, but I'm being well tempted to stray from my current ppc     by this offering from Archos, the pma400

which I would like to use with a usb Twiddler 2 from Handykey, a combined chording keyboard and trackpoint mouse.

I know its not a Zaurus, but this thread came up in a google search for me, and looks very interesting. Forgive the numbty question, but Cwaig, or anyone one else, is there any reason why your fine looking applet shouldn't work with the Archos device (which runs Qtopia over Linux) or with the Twiddler, which is Linux compatible?

many thanks
