Strange Days At iBIZ
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
Robert from SmartMobileAssets has some interesting, if disturbing information, about iBIZ and their Virtual Keyboard.
"It seems, according to the suit, that certain individuals, key figures in several behind-the-scenes PDA product companies, approached iBiz with the Virtual Keyboard product and sold them on the idea. After a long process they agreed to supply this technology to iBiz and iBiz began promoting the hell out of the concept in trade journals, web sites and old-style media, up to and including a New York Times review. Then came the news, quickly hushed, that deliveries were being delayed because no one had bothered to get FCC approval for the Laser!"
Things only get stranger from there, so take a look at the article and see what you think. I think it's fairly safe to say we're not going to see this available in the immediate future. (We previously posted on the delay here).
