The site of Humanized, Aza Raskin's startup, which built the Enso text-based launcher and wrote about humane user interfaces.
HN commenters link it as Aza Raskin's startup, point to the Enso demo, and connect his work to Jef Raskin and Mozilla's Ubiquity.
The Ubiquity team at Mozilla is lead by Aza Raskin, son of Jef Raskin. (Jef wrote the book "Humane Interfaces" and developed THE (The Humane Environment), which never progressed beyond the tech demo you can read about at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archy and download the last version from https://users-www.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/home/Sebastian%20Draxler/WWW/Archy_build-124.exe ). Aza started Humanized, to develop Enso, a direct predecessor of Ubiquity, but which I find even more useful since it runs outside the browser,and is therefore useable from any program, and is written in Python, and it totally hackable. You can get Enso from http://humanized.com/ .
Scammy and spammy.
Where are the specs? Sure, you can get different storage sizes, that's nice. What about the internals? Screen size, resolution, and technology? Battery life? 3G data bands? Weight? Dimensions?
Has anyone reputable reviewed these?
The name and logo both look to be ripped off from http://humanized.com/enso/
The OP's account is brand new, and has already spammed it up a few times: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1177080
The Google cache for http://www.onedollargold.com/ is http://bit.ly/dALAt1 which is just a -wee- bit odd.
Spamalicious.
I only like that for short things.
One of these days I hope to find a way to get a browser to follow a link by opening a smaller window/area directly in the text. That way I don't entirely lose the visual context on the screen.
I've been told the original Xanadu system was designed that way.
Enso also uses this idea in places. Now that the http://www.humanized.com developers have joined Mozilla, I'm somewhat optimistic that this may actually happen.
Ow. That's harsh. They also did http://www.songza.com/ , which I think is pretty elegant.
Here's the response to the Quicksilver Clone accusations:

At the end of the day, these guys are pretty sharp about UI, IMO-- whether they cloned something or not.
Namely is a less complicated alternative to Quicksilver on OS X. It only works for applications.

Enso is interesting alternative to launchy on Windows. It's no longer in active development.

And before joining Mozilla, the same guys who work on ubiquity worked on the similar product "enso launcher" for desktops which you should also investigate:
