Default Just Mobile RoKy Bluetooth Fabric Keyboard

http://www.mobilitysite.com/2006/11...ooth_keyboa.php

"Just Mobile RoKy, the lightweight and flexible keyboard designed for mobile computing devices uses Bluetooth connectivity, is 100% fabric, water-repellent, and comes with a mobile phone/PDA stand. With a pair of AAA battery allows you up to 10 hours of usage."



While I have my doubts about the usability of something like this (you need a flat surface to type on, and tactile feedback would be poor), I have to admit you can really take this anywhere - it's even water-repellent! No information yet on pricing or availability.

100 percent fabric? Wow! A whole keyboard AND Bluetooth radio made out of fabric! I had no idea that fabric could conduct electricity.

Ok. Wasn't funny. I think this could be a useful product. You can't use folding or "light"/"lazer" keyboards on your lap either, so the only real disadvantage that I can see is the lack of tactile feedback. If you could configure it to "click" every time you hit a key, that would probably help the problem. I guess you'd have to actually use one to know. Also, 10 hours of battery life sounds kinda low to me, but I'm still going to watch for a price tag.

Considering the very long battery life other BT keyboards get, yeah, I was concerned about that too.
