Well it was a cult but a small cult at that. Their problem is that they never could generate any sales due to the lack of a touch type keyboard. Nobody wants a thumb based full PC; how many of you would find it enjoyable to type pages of text with two thumbs? They should have made it a clamshell.

strikefource hit the nail right on the head! I would never buy a Windows thumb computer. I just want a pocket laptop and am still waiting for one.
