I just noticed a new PDA with a built in keyboard and might make an
interesting Squeak platform.

Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D is a handheld PDA that runs Linux on a 200 MHz
StrongARM, and has a tiny built in QWERTY keyboard, as well as a touch
screen and stylus.  The keyboard looks a bit like the curved Blackberry
keyboard.

The screen is 1/4 VGA in size, 65,536 Color Reflective TFT touch panel,
3.5" with front lighting.  (I assume front lighting because it is
reflective?).

It costs USD 500 for the prerelease developer version.
