NY Times reviews the Ibiz Virtual Keyboard


I know a few of you (including myself) were waiting for a review of the IBiz Virtual keyboard. BostonPocketPC has posted a blurb about the New York Times article that reviews this new keyboard.
The NY Times said that the keyboard worked and it was fast and responsive.The Virtual Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology and projects a full-size keyboard o*nto any flat surface. As you type o*n the laser projection, it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location.
It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but extremely futuristic looking.The Virtual Keyboard requires no special training. The light-weight device weighs o*nly two ounces and is similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Virtual Keyboard includes a self-contained, user-replaceable rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. It provides the Virtual Keyboard with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC.
The battery lasts three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries.The Virtual Keyboard is ideal for well-lit offices.Cost-effective - eliminates the cost of maintaining mechanical keyboards in volatile locations.

What do you think? Will you buy one?

It's be interesting to see how it the laser keyboard performs out of doors in direct sunlight?
Hopefully we'll get a chance to find out in the not too distant future.
