New full sized keyboard that doubles as a case

This is a unique product. I ran across this while browsing InfoSync early this morning. I am a big fan of full sized keyboards and this one doubles as a protective case.
As you can see, folded it is just a bit thicker than one inch. Not small, but smaller than a separate PDA and foldable keyboard. It is available for the Palm i705 soon but an iPAQ version is due in early 2003 for about $59. My only concern is some of the keys have been moved to allow for the hinges and are not quite where a touch typest would expect.
