EXPERT REVIEW

Setup

This Virtual Keyboard uses a Bluetooth interface to connect to a range of devices. The list of compatible devices is available on their site; here is the link. The list of compatible devices include Pocket PCs, Smartphones, Symbian Series 60 phones, Symbian UIQ phones, Blackberry phones, Palm OS, and the PC/Notebooks. Not to worry, but I guess those are the base phones that support this keyboard, almost all newer devices will support this keyboard. As for PC and Notebooks, it supports MAC as well as Windows 2000/XP not Vista or anything lower than 2000.

The device has two buttons, one placed on the left side-the power button; while the other button is placed under the device which keeps the projection on.

The moment you pick-up the device from the surface it will turn off within a few seconds. Further more, the device turns itself off if it doesn't recognize any key strokes happening for a few minutes. These timings can be adjusted through the provided software, once you are done with pairing the device. The device has a Red/Blue LED at the top which signifies whether the device is paired, ready to pair, and if the battery is low.

We tried the keyboard on a PC and a notebook, for which you require a Bluetooth dongle at least for the PC, if not for the laptop. It was pain setting up the Bluetooth pairing, but once you're done, it works seamlessly. The drivers that were bundled along were old; we downloaded the latest drivers from the official site. Other than the drivers, there is a software VKB which offers a few tweaking options.

Now we are done setting it up, so let's move on.

More over it could hurt your finger tips when used longer. Think of bumping your fingertips on a hard surface for the whole. How would that feel?

The ultimate next gen devices should be Virtual PC or notebook complete with just a special glass to make the screen image. Anyways, for now virtual keyboard and mouse can be good for style consicious people who do not use computer much.

I am sorry but i am not able to understand the real customer of this product as this is too costlt to be used by a general end user.

Battery life should have been a con!
