Gemini PDA on video
===================

I just saw this [1]. It's a video which shows working prototype of the upcoming
Gemini PDA computer. If you don't know about it: it's am attempt to create a
modern clamshell pocket computer (a machine which will be as close to old
PSIONs as possible).

I actually like the idea. But the video shows two main problems:

* one needs to use the touchscreen too much it]s probably not fault of the
 device designers but a feature of the Android
* the device is not stiff enough - one can observe that it moves during typing
 (the screen is visibly moving)

I can understand that there are limited possibilities to change basic
principles of the Android GUI.

But the second problem is much bigger and it's clear fault of device designers.

I thought that my GPD Pocked PDA (which has a similar concept) has the same
problem but in comparison with this it's actually solid and stable as a rock. I
can type with any intensity and nothing is moving nor oscillating (I actually
placed the GPD in front of my monitor and I tried to type in the manner what is
shown on the video).

Well, it probably wasn't a good idea to support the Gemini project...
