Oops!

Wait until you want to use the keyboard in a very tight space or on your lap. The support from back of the tablet needed to make it stand is silly!

Good news for third world countries

Don't hate me. Just a point of view. Gizmodo has reported that RIM agreed to place their servers locally to serve local users. It means in the near future the servers will fall under local jurisdiction. Hence, apart from enabling the respective governments to monitor the servers, it also means IT people and graduates in 3rd world countries will be employed. This is very likely because most 3rd world countries have some employment laws requiring foreign investors to employ locals. Naturally, tech and knowledge transfers will happen by some degrees. If this is true, 'equally before the law' will force all web companies having significant amount of users to open their offices store their servers locally. If all the 3rd world countries enforce this, soon Google offices and others will be everywhere. The knowledge gap will be closer. Win-win situation, for local people will get employed, foreigners will get the business and all the Big Brothers will be more paranoid than ever... Physical L10n. Yeah!
