> At the risk of being shouted down, this is another one of those products that looks great on impulse buy, but when you try to use that tiny keyboard and screen to do any real work with it, the chore of use becomes apparent.
I purchased one on impulse after this HN post, and some notes so far:
* Keyboard is a hell of a lot smaller than expected. I have small fingers and even this is a bit of a challenge for me. I very much doubt anybody will be coding on this thing. I am thinking mostly to use it as a way of making brief notes and reading RSS feeds.
* The screen is fine, it's something you can live with.
* I installed tulipcc on it (micropython), definitely the right choice to getting started on it quickly.
* I tried to print a case [2] but my printer is not good enough, I think I will send them off to China to be printed on an SLA printer.
