Geek Keyboard

So I’m surfing around the internet and I come across a gadget that has to be one of the biggest geek magnets I’ve seen in a while, at least for computer geeks. Like something out of a James Bond movie, you set this matchbook size BlueTooth compatible device on the desk and hit the button. It uses a laser to extend a full size virtual keyboard onto the surface of the desk in front of it – and you can type on it – upto 400 characters per minute!!! It’ll connect directly to your PDA or other BlueTooth device as an input device. Too cool!!

We've already got these deployed here at the CMH, they are cool, but don't plan on doing any 40wpm typing on them, they are more of a straight-down, pecking type of device. Still better than using things like those tiny keypads on Treo's though...

To tell the truth, I was skeptical that this gadget worked at all! There is a guy here at work that has a prototype 'communicator badge' that is a replica from Star Trek. It connects via bluetooth to his RAZR cell phone. Geek. I love it.
