What's wrong with the 144 pin tactile array?

I hope someone will revive and possibly redesign the Optacon and shape it
into a newer form of itself. It would be nice to have a slimmer version and
a battery that lasts longer and takes less time to recharge. What do you
think? And I would like to see a 100-pin tactile array.
