iBIZ Technology Corp. is planning to bring its Virtual Laser Keyboard to market in the first quarter of this year.

The VKB attaches to handhelds and projects the image of a full-size keyboard onto the surface of the desk where the handheld is placed, allowing the user to input text without a physical keyboard.

"There are no mechanical moving parts whatsoever in the Virtual Laser Keyboard," said Ken Schilling, President and CEO of iBIZ. "It provides a projected image that is the perfect portable input device for PDAs. It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but extremely futuristic looking."

The iBIZ Virtual Laser Keyboard is compatible with Palm, Pocket PCs, laptops and desktop PCs. The Virtual Laser Keyboard will be available for $99.99 from major retailers and iBIZ's own web store in first quarter of this year. A version for cell phones will be available in the fourth quarter.
