this new bluetooth keyboard is a bit larger than a standard lighter and projects your keyboard on any flat surface

how cool would that be! typing on your table too bad it's $200...

well apart from ruining your fingers? - it may look cool but trust me if you keep hitting your finger tips on your hard table all that time.. it will seriously damage the cartilage in your fingers. (RSI), everytime you hit your finger down it creates a vibration that wears away your cartilage in your finger tip, it can happen from using your normal keyboard too much but is far worse using a laser keyboard, trust me,

It's pretty neat. I want one.

It's true about the damage to your fingers, but I don't think this keyboard is designed for stuff like intense coding sessions. Just portable gimmiky use.

Yeah I've always thought they were cool since the first time I saw they existed. Not sure I could get used to one and it's not worth$200 to me to find out, but I'd certainly be the envy of all the other geeks. I might even get to be king.

I think Minaki's right in that this is more for portable use. It could come in handy when travelling and hooked up t your PDA or something like that. Kind of like it's set up in the picture.

And it would be really cool.

Looking at it like that Van, $200 is a small price to pay to be king geek

It does look cool, But you are still going to need a flat surface.
I would like to see an uber thin keyboard that folds up untill it's the size of a match box.

I like your super thin keyboard idea too. In fact I want my laptop to do that too. That might make me the geek emperor.

Hehe. Gloriously geeky. Just imagine what you'd look like using it to do some hardcore PHP coding on the train!!

Ah, but why use the train if you can get home (don't ask how) in your trusty UFO?!

Seriously, I want one of the above. A lot. Just imagine the look on people's faces when it goes through the office corridors...

This doesn't fly, but it's a pretty cool way of getting around.

Or if you want to fly (I'm afraid to say not round the office...) get one of these! Shame they don't sell them anymore...
