But whose preferred keyboard size is this design?

I think the old Fujitsu Lifebooks with the ~16:9 screen size and the nearly full sized keys is probably about the size you want on one of these things.

If I'm standing in front of a rack, plugged into another box—which is the primary purpose of this little guy—I'm gonna be holding it with one hand and typing with the other.

In that scenario, I'd rather have a keyboard of this size than a full-size one.

Not quite my cup of tea, but I've watched people reach for their Psion PDAs all the time, even when they had large keyboards within reach.

Evidently some people can become friends with some very small keyboards.
