The symbols I need often are on the keyboard already. If I am writing maths, I'll usually do so in LaTeX - symbols are not enough on their own. And if I need a symbol I use rarely, I'd need a far bigger selection than just 128 keys - it is vastly simpler to select it with a character applet in software. Even these young folks with their "emoticons" would find 128 keys too few. People who regularly switch between different languages with different alphabets might find some use in it. But at that price you could have twenty different PC-105 keyboards with different symbols and very much faster and simpler typing (albeit at a bigger cost in cupboard space).
