However, it had one problem - it was directly linked to these devices (because of its stand and connector). But the idea was simply great. Anyway, Eleksen confirmed that they are going to release a follower of the SPV specific fabric keybard - this time more generic and with Bluetooth!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/fabric_keyboard_v2_small.jpg" /><br /><br />Eleksen have their own <a href="http://www.eleksen.com">Eleksen website</a>, but I was unable to extract any additional information from there, but according to Arne Hess, this keyboard will retail for approximately $99 USD and will support a variety of configurations such as keyboard size &amp; fabric, key shape &amp; size, etc. Device support should span across just about any BT-enabled device that can use a keyboard including mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, tablet PCs, and desktops. I've never tried these fabric keyboards themselves but I certainly respect Arne Hess' opinions. If he says he's a big fan, then I'd be excited to try one myself!

Hi Ekkie,

Eleksen have their own Eleksen website, but I was unable to extract any additional information from there

Guess you didn't see the banner on the left side at the bottom... There it is, Fabric Keyboard (http://www.fabrickeyboard.com/) just follow the link for more information about it. I wrote about two keyboards, one from logitech and another from Eleksen. I went do Cebit and saw them there. If you follow this link (http://www.pocketpt.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&amp;f=5&amp;t=3983&amp;s=627d3fc10301d58b3837e46aedc186a4) you can see the pictures i took, and there are two more in my community webgalery at Pocketpt.net (http://www.pocketpt.net/galeria.php)

The news are in Portuguese :D

Actually, I did see that link. Arne has that link available on his post as well, but when I go to that page, there's no specific information available except for some generic description on what the fabric keyboard is. I see no information on what models are available, what the MSRP is, what devices are compatible, where can I buy, keyboard size specifications, etc.

Very cool! Thanks for the links! Even if the reviews are in Portuguese! :D
