    That's pretty cool. I'm surprised it doesn't have "BMW" printed on the end.

      That is cool, but I'd bet that durability would become the biggest issue.

        Note that the entire video is CGI- any evidence that this is an actual physical machine, rather than somebody's pipe dream? Cool idea, in any case...

            That no-tactile-feedback keyboard has got to suck, though.

              What type of cell phone do you use, if you have one? So many people today, use the on screen ones, while others prefer the tactile key feel.
              I knew these are being worked on/out since the last few years things like the screens have been shown at Comdex:

              But to me, while the price tag, would be high, what would be worse is what is this thing called? A laptop PURSE?

                Looks pretty cool. As was said, the video is CGI, so not sure it is being built yet.

                  I have a RAZR, .. & I don't type on it, I push buttons. That is a lot different from typing. My point was that that thing is going to be hard for someone is used to not looking at the keyboard while they type to get use to.
