Looks pretty funky -

I love the different orientations and the claim of 30min battery life for
1min cranking.

They could almost sell a version to non third world countries for $200 with
some more features to subsidise the production of the cheaper models.

Very eMate-esque it has to be said. Be great to have something like this
with a Newt OS.
