I'm glad Bubby won. I dream of having a truly portable programming setup, maybe even more than Wolfram's laptop holster. Ideally some keyboard like Bubby, a wireless thin client (phone?), and a heads up display, so I could walk around town while thinking or waiting for things to compile, or maybe blog while the display's off only turning it on to edit. Instead of a sedentary lifestyle I'd have an overly-active lifestyle.

There have been a number of single hand chorded keyboards for niche use cases, or wrist-attached keyboard designs that never went anywhere, etc. It never feels like it should be that hard, keyboards are just a fairly small collection of discrete inputs...
