>From the Ars review: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/alphagrip.ars

"Although the AG-5 looks strange and intimidating, it is a unique and highl=
y
innovative product that deserves consideration, particularly by mobile
computing enthusiasts. The AG-5 interfaces with computers via a single
removable USB cable. It uses a simple chord-like keyboarding model and an
integrated trackball to provide complete keyboard and mouse functionality i=
n
a unique form factor that looks a bit like a console gaming controller."

I'm personally a fan of one-handers, but as a friend of mine noted, this
could be very useful for lounging on the couch and/or standing in line
somewhere and still being able to interact with the computer in a
near-desktop-like manner. Forgive me if this has been covered on the list, =
