If you look inside the Ben you see that it's not all that crowded, so this is definitely a size that's large enough for all the technology. It's also large enough for a decent keyboard. The Ben's keyboard has its share of issues but there are similarly-sized designs that do a lot better. E.g., I love the keyboard of the OQO 01/01+. It's really tiny but surprisingly usable. Here is a size comparison: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/oqo-ben-kbd.jpg Use the same kind of buttons, incorporate some improvements from this layout http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/layout.pdf then maybe grow the keys a little (Ben has a key pitch of about 8.7 mm, OQO 01 about 7.5 mm), and add a backlight. > I always thought one key feature missing in the Ben Nanonote was at > least USB OTG capability, which would have allowed the use of WiFi > dongles for easy Internet access though. OTG is pretty much standard nowadays. Many SoCs even give you multiple ports. I think built-in Wifi or BTLE should be considered a standard feature nowadays. > Got any plan yet once you're done with that Anelok project of yours ? ;-) Heh, that should keep me occupied for a while, at least as far as weekend projects go ;-) But then, at some point in time I'll also have to decide on the next "daytime project" ... - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
