I think I'm going to buy this keyboard (http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/) when it's release... they say that in 2006... I can't wait to get one of those, any comments on this? Btw it's going to be open source... :grin:

Staring. Mouth Open. Saliva dripping onto my present keyboard.

in a zombie like tone:

I just hope it won't have any dead pixels. ;-)

Well it will feature a key-saver, so no burning in of pixels ;-)


This sounds almost to good to be true:
It will cost less than a good mobile phone :grin:

Hehehehe... they said it won't cost as much as a good mobile phone... that is in Mexico at least, it's going to cost about 3,000 pesos; or 270 dollars, I think I could spend some of my money in this, and as it's going to be open source (at least the software or drivers, cuz the invention is going for a patent), I think it would run perfectly under Linux.

You mean expensive. Only keyboard that should cost that much is a bluetooth one.

Kids will love it definitely, maybe they would get confused about where to look - on the screen or the keyboard!
What next -mice and modems with lcds?
