Bizarre Wibrain B1 UMPC

I don't have anything useful to say about this "B1" UMPC from Wibrain, except to point and say, "Look at the funny-looking thinger."

It's the Atari Lynx of UMPCs. That right-corner touchpad might work pretty well, though.

I want one! It's a franken-UMPC!

Also, wasn't Douglas Adams really enamoured with the whole 'split the keyboard in twain and type with your thumbs' thing? You could write a novel on that...

Looks funny and interesting, but apparently there's no approximate price announced yet? If it's affordable, getting GNU/Linux running well on the thing would be a really neat project for hackers.

Is this a keyboard or... something? Why would I care about this?
