Haven't seen it, but I have seen similar ones, but none as cool as that. They should just make it incorporated into sunglasses, the technology is already out there, and no one would steal it from right in front of your eyes. Either way, I can't say I would have a problem having one.

Pricey, but very cool. SPAMI'll wait for a price drop, but it is very, very, very, cool. 8)

my exact words....yeah w/ all that money, u sure could buy u a nice sysem (case, monitor, all the worx) and have it be really fast as well! SPAMBut man how cool that would be, u could drive and be posing on NetSmog all at the same time...sure it aint the brightest thing to do, but its possible!!! SPAM;D SPAMI am sure that it already has some type of keyboard that is assosiated w/ it. SPAMIm guessing that it is like the quadrafold one that the Palm's come with.

I like the idea about working on it, but with all the electronics we have in today's cars this would be the ultimate distraction.

Don't get me wrong, it is very cool and I would like one. The price is a problem for me.


There have been more computers like this. This one is one of the least expensive of all of them.
They usually went for about $3000.

I am going to wait until they go mainstream. Like what I said to DSL 5 years ago; but I still don't have DSL ;)

The quadrafold keyboards turned out to be a failure, but the thumbboards look promising and convenient. I would guess that would be used until voice dictation becomes more efficient.

[MIK3]

yeah once the voice activation thing comes out...keyboards will definatley be a thing of the past!!! Although, they sure will be a lot more expensive, but so were many electroics that were of the past, but now are ver affortable!!! SPAM;)

[Uranium-235]

yeah, umm I think I'll be sticking with the keyboard even if voice activation becomes standard. Cause I tend to type faster then I talk, considering I have a speech problem (I stutter)

oh and before anyone makes any smart remark about that, remember I'm a moderator and remember netsmog rule #19

"-Netsmog.com also reserves the right to ban any user, at any time, and for any reason."

Have a good day ;)

[MIK3]

dont worry about that man...none of us is gonna make funny of you for that..i have a cousing that stutters too...so it would be like making fun of him to...and if anyone does decide to do that ill kick there @$$! SPAMSo don't worry about me man...im with you all the way...that is down right cold if somebody does that to someone! Banning is a good option as well SPAM;)

[Uranium-235]

[MIK3]

They could do the thing like Alex Jacobsen has in Deus Ex (I have a freakish retention of useless knowledge). He had some sort of divided keyboard integrated into his pant legs. If you have the game, go through level one until you meet him, and look at what I'm talking about. I'll try to remember to take a screenshot of it for the rest of you, or the lazy ones of you who don't want to go to that much trouble.

[MIK3]

cool...so its a zip up and go anywhere do anything kinda keyboard..not bad! But if i were to place a keyboard on a piece of clothing i would have to put it on the fore are of a long sleeve shirt! SPAMI think that would be cool to just look at your watch as you type an email to ur friend at the same time, the only bad part of that, is that u could only use one hand, but ud get used to it!

I saw a rollable keyboard at Radioshack.com (http://www.radioshack.com); it was clear and liquid-filled and could not be destroyed by being bent.

Uranium-235, I have a stutter problem, too, and also can type faster than I can talk (well not so much any more, except when I am in a rush, like typing a 2000 word essay an hour before it's due - well I guess adrenaline has its affect too!) which my dad says is because I don't read much. One thing with voice dictation is that you have to turn it off to talk to anyone...and also it can disturb others or cause you to lose your privacy!

[MIK3]

I would think that going online and doing all of this stuff like reading reviews and learning new stuff about computers and technology would be better than reading...beasuse with all of these posts that we have..i am sure that each and every one of us have read the equivelent of a dictionary (size, vocabulary)! SPAMHey vee_ess...whats up w/ ur quote under your avatar??

[Omega]

Well, here are the screen shots as promised. You can all see big pimpin' Alex Jacobson and his nifty keyboard-pants for yourselves now.
