How cool is that? If they are able to sell at projected price and it works, it will be awesome :).

Daddy_O

wow !!! that is so cool :)

well I just hope that it doesn't cost as much as it said on the first link for palm pilots!

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it tests out well...I wonder if it could be used on an airplane with the food tray down?

I'd think of buying one if they put a bluetooth module in that thing.

It be nice if they did, but I don't see any in the near future. Even though this thing has been out for about a year now.

hmm I dont think I could ever use one of those, if I couldnt feel the distinct press and click of a key them I dont feel like I pressed it and its not gonna register, etc. with the problems with regular IR keyboards I'm afraid that this one wont work out either.

I agree 100%. This looks like a very cool gadget and would certainly be a conversation piece at the local coffee house. At $85 the price is quite reasonable. But a large part of keyboard use is tactile feel... which this won't have.

HOWEVER... I played violin a long, long time ago and I know that one can get the "feel" of just about anything (a violin doesn't have tactile frets like a guitar, so the player's fingers have to be in exactly the right place).

So while this keyboard may be initially prone to more errors (and I believe it would never have the error reliability of a tactile keyboard)... still, one would get used to it. The advantages:

1) 100% silent, except for those with long fingernails.
2) Very, very portable
3) Very very cool. Real babe magnet. "Oh, what is that? Isn't that cute?" (Oh... excuse me. I'm awake now... just dreaming...)

Actually, it's more likely to attract pimply techno-geek guys, but still, it's very cool.

The main question is: would a person have the willpower to actually be able to RESIST ordering one of these? That's the clincher.
