I'm think a one-handed keyboard on the back of a freerunner would be a
great thing. Frogpad has the disadvantage that it needs a different
model depending on what hand you plan to use to type on it: I'm pretty
sure I could design something similar that doesn't have that limitation.

I haven't seen any openmoko software running for quite a while - my
computer isn't really fast enough for qemu - but I think it would be a
good idea to have the on-screen keyboard always accessible (put the icon
back in the notification area or something like that) but have the
auto-pop-up disabled when a physical keyboard is connected (more room to
see what you're writing).
