Don't knock it until you've tried it. I used a walking desk for over a year and loved it.

It was just enough exercise to keep me focused on the code, but not too much that I was tired.

The thing that does suck is using the mouse. But as a developer that's not a problem. My hands stay on the keyboard when I code.

Get a keyboard with a trackpoint [1]. It will take some time to get used, but in the end you will not need any mouse anymore with the advantage of being pretty comfortable using laptops in trains, aircrafts and on walking desks.

Or learn Vim ;)

I used to hate working on a laptop till I learned Vim, now it's easy!
