My wife showed me a email with a pen that displays a keyboard on to any surface. Can anyone tell me what it is called and where I might be able to get one or more info on one. Thanks

Thanks I forgot to post that after I did a little searching around on the net I found what I was looking it. I don't think I will be getting one anytime soon as the cheapest I found them was at almost $200 american, so thats almost $1000 canadian, j/k but I think you get my point. Really neat looking things though

Check on Ebay. I've seen those being sold for around $130-$150 canadian... Man, what a cool gadget this is. If I see one under $125, I think I'm gonna go for it.

Ya I looked on ebay, they are cheaper there, but the wife would kill me if I bought one right now, unless I see a wicked deal on one

Just for the record those devices are not useful if you are used to touch-type. If you are a finger typer then you won't have any problems with it.

Hey!
I know those things work! How do I know you ask? 'Cause I saw it on TV!
(but I have never actually seen one in real life)
I watched CSI Miami last night and they had someone using one of those laser keyboards and a Axim that the lady kept in her purse. She was using it to update a blog that she kept that described her life at the biotech she worked for. The show had all kinds of love triangles, gangs, guns and stock market manipulations. All the things that never really happen in real life (if you can believe that)

FWIW The Axim was one of the X50 series (I couldn't tell anything more than that)
