When the Virtual Keyboard first emerged, we thought the idea way cool even if actually typing on nothing more than a bunch of projected glowing numbers wasn't. For those who don't mind the tradeoff for some hip quotient, i.Tech has released a Bluetooth version in Singapore. To operate, simply hook the rechargeable unit with supplied connector cables to a QWERTY-needy device like a smart phone, handheld or PC. A red lighted outline of a keyboard is projected onto any flat surface. Don't expect touch typing here as there's no tactile feedback to guide you, even if each key tap is accompanied by a sound effect. More likely you'll end up relying on the two-finger search-and-peck method which won't win you any fastest finger prizes.
