This review is exclusive for Coolest-Gadgets.
*This review is really in-depth*
*I used my camera and and Soti's Pocket-Controller to get the pics*


Well I saw this on a blog, don't remember which. I was really interested that I have been watching it for about 8-9 months until I finally decided to buy it myself and see if it actually works.


I got my I-Tech Virtual Keyboard from Expansys USA back in January.

When opening the package. This was inside.


Opening it everything was neat and organized.
*Everything was wrapped when I got it if anyone was wondering.*
*Don't Mind the tangled wires, that was me. XD*


I liked how the keyboard was already in it's leather case when I recieved it.


Here's a Size Comparison with an Ipod Mini.

I took the AC cable out of the box and it wasn't US.... Expansys was polite to actually give me one when I ordered the Keyboard.


The AC Cable with the Adaptor.


After about 2 hours of charging the green light on the Adaptor came on. I decided to turn it on and this is what I get.


I was so amazed by the keyboard and I didn't even get to use it yet.

I took the cd and insert it into my computer and got a nice flash menu.


The Virtual Keyboard was compatible with so many devices.
PDAs
SmartPhones
PC

I had a Dell Axim X30H. I didn't see the device but the Dell Axim X50 drivers seemed work with my Axim.

Pairing with the Virtual Keyboard was really easy and quick.
I had a shortcut to the Virtual Keyboard Software so I can use it anytime.


After starting it up I changed the connection to Bluetooth and enabled the Software. BOOM!
My axim connected with the Keyboard and I got a battery meter on the screen.


I was soo excited that I decided to type something up and guess what? IT WORKS!


Conclusion:
The device is really handy if your are traveling alot or just want something different than everyone else.

Pros:
*Really Cool.
*Actually works.
*Easy to pair and operate.
*Small and Portable
*Has a button at the bottom so if you lift it up, it will auto-shutoff.

Cons:
*Takes some time to get used to the keyboard since your not typing on keys that spring back up.
*Doesn't work well on glossy surfaces due to it reflecting.
*Operating time is about 2 hours which is kind of low, but for me I don't type that much on my pda.

Bump
Is there a feature to bump topics with out messages?

Don't think there is.

Very nice review! I don't use a PDA anymore so I wouldn't buy it but if I was in the market for one this review sure would have stuck and possibly influenced my buying decisions. Very nice, well done.

Nope. we're still building up a member base so it will take time until we have enough members that bumping isn't required.

Interesting review (I'll post a link to it off the main site), can I get you with a few more questions about it:

• Is your typing speed with it comparable to a normal keyboard?
• Does it support different keyboard layouts (e.g. US and UK)?
• Does it only connect via BlueTooth or can you use USB or Infrared etc.?

Another problem I see with it is you need quite a lot of flat space. I can see it being great for on trains and in hotel rooms, just not in confined spaces.

That's fine with me.

*I typed the same speed on the VKB as on my regular keyboard.
*The only keyboard layouts would be US and UK.
*The version I bought was Bluetooth. There is a serial version and if you want to use USB then you have to use a Serial -> USB adaptor.
*Lastly is that the size of the keyboard is the letters portion of a regular keyboard.

I was wondering about trains - would the thing be stable enough to not be toppled by a few humps and bumps?

The bottom seems weighted so it's stable. I can even use it in a car.
