We’ve looked at these before, but they’re 1. Totally cool 2. Now in the UK and 3. Have the potential to revolutionise (sorry about the r-word, but I do try not to over-use it) the way we use mobiles and fiddly PDA’s.
Textually reports via Gizmo (not to be confused with Gizmodo)
The cigarette-lighter-sized VKB uses laser and infrared technology to project a full-size QWERTY keyboard onto any flat surface for almost any palmtop computer, PDA or mobile phone. It is also easily integrated into a mobile phone, with Siemens and Samsung having shown versions of the technology integrated into their phones at recent trade shows.
No details on pricing, though I came across a few references to it being c. $150. I imagine though that the day isn’t too far distant when the technology will be built-in to the phone itself.
Data entry has always been an issue for phones and PDA, expecially if you’ve got large fingers and don’t come from the thumb generation – like me. So this could do away with my trusty old laptop for almost everything.
