I sincerely don't want to hate on this and there's some solid design here, but I can't imagine a scenario where buying an entirely separate category of device is worth the theoretical wpm difference between a physical keyboard and a touch screen one... Even if I were somewhat slower with a touchscreen keyboard, why wouldn't I just buy a keyboard case for the phone that I already own? Here's one that's smaller than their "world's smallest finger-touch keyboard" and is only $20. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-...

@peterfreeby hate to admit it but this is a niche product. Except maybe the boot into Linux, a tablet works better.
Thanks for hunting Gemini down!
Gemini is a mobile device for typing on the go that also fits in a pocket or a handbag. It is aimed at bloggers and creatives needing to write constantly or professionals needing to read and write emails, create and edit documents and spreadsheets on the move.
It is a modern clam-shell based mobile device with a palm-sized keyboard fully integrated into the device. Designed to be perfectly balanced for typing when open, the palm-sized QWERTY keyboard and screen beautifully tuck away when closed. Designed to run the latest Android operating system and all your favourite apps, it also supports open-source Linux with a dual OS boot option.
A crowdfunding campaign was launched on Monday 27 Feb and was successful in 48 hours: https://igg.me/at/geminipda

I used to love PDAs back in the day. Although I can appreciate the effort, I cannot see a place for this now.

Love that being able to duel boot Linux is a feature. Reminds me of my old Sharp Zaurus.

Looks Cool and has interesting features - but pricey in this day and age... :/
