Foldable USB keyboard simplifies typing with your UMPC
Nov 5th
Most of the UMPC and MIDs available today share the same disadvantage: most of the time the keyboard just doesn’t work well at those tiny key sizes, especially if you have large hands. What to do?

That being said, you will surely remember that there’s an old and well known (and true!) proverb saying “A picture sometimes tells more than a thousand words” …
