Next gen keyboards

Next gen keyboards

There is a lot going on in the keyboard industry and new ways of entering data is approaching:


  • Fold-up Keyboards (wireless) and fabric keyboards have been used for PDA's for a few years and more than two milions folding keyboards has been sold for the Pilot alone.

  • Virtual keyboards

    from Virtual Devices, VKB and Canesta should target the market this year and you might expect to see this kind of keyboards in cell phones next year

  • Senseboard measures from hand and finger movements so you can type in the air

I dont know what will survive, but I know that it will be a lot more easy to send SMS and MMS in the future.
I'm not sure if I want to use such a keyboard on my computer - I still love the feeling of pressing buttons...
