I agree, why not get a real keyboard if it doesn’t add much if anything in weight, room, and price…

I.e., M1′s keyboard costs no more on weight, room and price.

The main reason to buy an OQO is to get something that fits in a pant pocket. The M1 is too wide to seat properly in a pant pocket. At best, it sticks out the top.

If you don’t need the to fit in a pant pocket, there are so many other choices. They all have shockingly similar stats. I don’t see the point in singling out the M1. (At least the Viliv S5 and Aigo 8860 do fit a pant pocket.)

If i need a laptop type of keyboard i will buy a netbook or a laptop not a umpc/mid.

This has 7″ screen and is a convertible. Standard ports, webcam, SD card slot and keyboard. This might be the jackpot. Think the S5 quality minus the compromises (hopefully).
