Will it also bring up the keyboard when necessary?

Following up on that, will there be a version for the Ubuntu-for-Android, Tablet-flavor, that will have the tablet be a combined keyboard with trackpad? Remove two sets of peripherals, I say.

Thank you. Your posts - I'm a fan of DeepSeaNews - are both informative and heartfelt for the future of ocean exploration. Happy diving.

Hello,

I know this is crazy late, but it's really important to me to get some academic opinion:

You've been down in submersibles (super jelly :) ), and you've piloted ROVs. Do you see any advantage to using manned submersibles over ROVs that would help convince modern institutions to invest in them again?

It is my fear that the future is just going to be more and more robots and prevent the construction of new submersibles to allow manned exploration of the deep sea. And I also happen to very much dislike the monopoly that WHOI has on national academic deep sea submersibles.
