Like my Treo 650. It supports Bluetooth for input and lasts a decent amount of time on battery.</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Oh, yeah, and it projects a virtual keyboard on any flat surface and lets you type away as if you had a full sized keyboard. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.celluon.com/products/images/pro_img1.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I can’t do much better than 3 characters per second on the Treo keyboard, which is less than half of my normal typing rate, so it’s a bit frustrating. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This isn’t something that you can clip to your BatBelt reasonably so it’s not ultra-portable, but the technology will start coming built-in to PDA’s eventually. In the meantime, the LaserKey can alleviate the need for me to take my iBook along for all but the most serious computing needs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It’s not being distributed in the US yet but you can order it for ~ $333 shipped from Europe from &lt;a href="http://www.handit.com/index.php?fuseaction=detail&amp;katid=443&amp;produktid=2444"&gt;Handit&lt;/a&gt;. I’m hoping when it comes to the US for distibution the price will be somewhat lower than the weak dollar allows an overseas purchase to ring up at. I mean, the keyboard &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; be cheaper than the computer.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> Tue, 19 Jul 2005 21:35:00 -0400 urn:uuid:5e49fee2acea260b7a590fafe44ed513 bill_mcgonigle http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/2005/07/19/cellulon-laserkey-geek-lust Science Palm General http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/trackback/130
