"ElekSen is planning to unveil early next year a new Bluetooth fabric keyboard and game joystick for PDAs and mobile phones. The company currently has on the market keyboards for the SPV Smart Phone offered by the U.K. company Orange in Europe, and another keyboard remarketed by Logitech for Palm handhelds. The new devices are designed to be used by a wide range of device brands. They would be re-branded and bundled with specific devices. The input devices are made from a special "electronic fabric" technology that can sense input on three axes: vertical, horizontal and amount of pressure."

I have one of these fabric keyboards for my old Tanager, and it was pretty good. Once this is released it will be interesting in seeing how this measures up with some of the new slimmer fold-able keyboards on the market. I'm going to need to choose one of them for my new Audiovox. 8)
