Other ideas:

- Dvorak layout
- Origami-style keyboard (radial from a corner, probably better under
  Fitt's law) - see the billion preview pics for a sample
- full-screen keyboard for more and larger keys
- global abbreviations as in PalmOS

Of course, full Bluetooth keyboard support would also be very nice
(right now you need 3rd party status bar applet, and xterm has the
Enter key issue).  Bluetooth mice are also something I would love to
use on the 770.
