It seems like every hardware geek makes one of these at some point. I think it's really cool. Designing a chording scheme for individual keys is a fun problem, kind of a nerd snipe. But in the end everyone concludes, "It's too slow to be useful."
I think where the hand held keyboard might be really interesting is in combination with steno (http://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/ http://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/), but I haven't seen that done.
