I think it's a great idea. Kin to the old "ergonomic" keyboards.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 11:03 AM, Steven Milburn <<a href="mailto:steven.milburn@gmail.com">steven.milburn@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

...The keyboard itself has very minimal needs in terms of resolution, but it<br>
steals about a third of the screen in portrait mode, more in landscape<br>
-- 640x480 is probably a bare minimum.....</blockquote><div><br>Chris's comment about the keyboard in landscape mode popped an image into my head. Maybe it's been mentioned already, but I don't recall. The keyboard for landscape mode could be split in two and have half on the right, and half on the left. I think that may make it more suitable for thumb typing and take less area away. <br>
<br>Someone will probably ask me to mock it up, but I'm a HW guy, so you really don't want me to try :)<br><br>--Steve M<br></div></div>
