Point of trivia, a americain nutter has a recumbent trike with a trailer covered in solar cells which powers a mac which has connected two "twiddlers" as you describe which are mounted on the ends of his handle bars, the net result being he can type, cycle etc... all at the same time. Struck me as being rather cool really.
that is Technomad and the technotrike, I've met the bloke (on my wearable pursuits) and he is very nice, even if he is a little excentric... As for the Twiddler, I could go on for hours as to how bad it is, I've just put together a chapter in my thesis where I compare the Twiddler to normal keyboards and mice.. basically, it is not that hard to learn, but it is very slow and frustrating.. unfortunatly there are no real alternatives at the moment ;(..
