I somehow doubt that the folio has a real keyboard.  More likely, it will
have a small alphanumeric keypad.  Check the press release; it's supposed
to be a "handheld" computer.

Have you seen the Cambridge z88?  It's about the size of a textbook, and
weighs about 2 pounds.  80 columns, something like 8 lines.  I saw one
at a local store, but I've never used one extensively.  It's an interesting
machine.  (I think it uses AA type batteries)
