keyboards

Seems like a stupidly expensive return to dumb terminals, which is not to say it's a bad idea for phones or tablets without a keyboard - just a ridiculously expensive one. Might not be as convenient, but I can get a perfectly usable keyboard and external touchscreen for somewhere close to half that intro price - let alone the regular price. Maybe I'm just too practical to be the target audience.

While the suggested retail price seems rather high, the crowdfunding price doesn’t seem bad at all for a multifunction device that can be used as a keyboard, display, and touch input. I’m kind of hoping that the “retail” price is a fiction to encourage folks to back the Kickstarter campaign.

Well, here's to hoping. The real reason is probably that the product will never see the light of day and if you back this kickstarter, for a product that is already overprized for future market appearance and therefore won't sell at all, you'll just lose your backing money and will likely not receive this product.

So, a laptop terminal.

I could see this combined with a handheld, but there are other options at a better price
