Some *personal* opinions about origami keyboard : It looks nice and
scifi but needs a large screen. I have a feeling that it's like one of
these really futuristic shaped winamp skins, you try them once just to
see the shape/graphics and then turn back to classic one because it's
much more usable and you know where all the buttons are.
