Cool. Would go well with the current top of my convergence wishlist -
Motorola MPx


Definitely cooler than a folding bluetooth jobbie.

Lots of this type of thing about, is it what you are after?

Well Roy, there seems to be lots of chit chat about it around the net but where does one purchase it!

Start with this ibizpda, have a bit of a think then give your google a good bashing. May be a few Interlectual Property problems so read everything twice.

Without wishing to read any thing I am guessing this product hasn't made it to market?

They talked about it in 2002 I would have thought it would be about by now. I am only interested because some geezer was on about it on radio 2 today, he apparently had a working example.

I have a logitech material keyboard which is rather good, but I really want one of those laser jobbies, I would have no use for it but it looks cool.

Yup, with wifi and BT too. If the hobbled prototype on Howard Forums isn't anything to go by, VOIP could be a possibility too. The h6310 is HP's XDAII equivalent, which is nice too (released just as the 3G XDAIII is being leaked).

Garyi, if you want something like that you can borrow my old Sinclair ZX81 with "touch" keyboard. Work with it for one day and I'm convinced you will drop the idea. There is a word called "ergonomics"...
