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.
