If the actual product comes with a normal (i.e., IBM standard) layout (you can reprogram the normal shaped keys, but I can't believe you can reprogram the shape and size of the keys, and you need a GPS and 3 day's trail rations to find the Return key on the thing pictured on the website), and if it has the feel of a real keyboard, with more than 2mm of key travel and some real tactile feedback, I'd love one. But I suspect it will be a long time before the technology of those itty bitty displays gets cheap enough that the cost premium isn't prohibitive. It strikes me as more of a novelty toy than a useful tool.
The standard keyboard design may not be a very good one, but I'm comfortable with it. What I really want is a pointing device that doesn't suck.
