CNET's Review of the VKB Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard
Posted by Darius Wey in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
"Sure to turn heads, this ultracool gadget projects a full-size "virtual" keyboard on your desk or any flat surface using lasers, one of which projects the keyboard image, while the other senses the touched keys. We garnered a number of oohs and aahs from passers-by as we used the keyboard while on the go throughout our test period. Sadly, looks and concept alone don't make a good product, and the BTVKB suffers from a flakey setup that would lead us to take a pass on the keyboard at this time."
These virtual keyboards never seem to give up without a fight. Despite the huge "cool" factor generated from using it, CNET found it to be "dodgy" and generally not worth the amount you'd spend on it. If you were seriously considering purchasing a virtual keyboard for your Pocket PC, it may be a good idea to check out what CNET have to say. Bottom line - it's "poor".
