Thomas Boys draws the curtains and gets personal with the iTech Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard, with keys drawn by lasers. Don your dark glasses now and read the review.

Laser keyboard at dawn
Oh, while I think of it - sorry Stu, it's not X-friendly, no matter how I paired it or tried the drivers.

Bah!
Who needs it when you've got the fabulous Sendo folding keyboard!
Someone who a) hasn't spilt a load of stuff over their Sendo keyboard and b) someone that hasn't managed to knacker the folding mechanism on it.

Muppet!
Fold-up keyboards are so light and (from the review) far more easy to use than a laser one, and they're cheaper too.
However, this laser keyboard might just have a niche if someone could find a way of making the projector far smaller, maybe even built into a PDA or smartphone? It'd also have to be able to keep up with fast typers, as the kind of people who'd go to the trouble of buying a PDA or smartphone tend to be the kind of people who type quickly.
Bah who cares if you can't type as quick as a fold up keyboard. The point of this thing is a realisation of sci fi dreams. If they sold the loaders from aliens, would you criticise them for not being as fast as a robin reliant on a trip to the shops?
