Jackito back in the news

Jackito_pdaThe Jackito thumb-operated PDA made the news almost a year ago and then went away.  The unique PDA meant to be operated totally via fingertips seemed to be just another piece of vaporware that would never actually be sold. 

Gizmodo is reporting today that the Jackito has resurfaced and is taking orders at $600 a pop which may mean it is actually going to ship.  I hope it does as it is always nice to see innovation in the hands of consumers.
