Perhaps some future spin-offs of the idea based on electronic paper would be cheaper (and also: they keys could be, uhmm...not flat)

Possibly ready for production in '06 ?
Probably still speculative, but still its a great idea. I just wonder if the keys will be curved like normal keys are, or flat like it looks now. Its kinda hard to judge from the photos.Go Bunny GO!

with some luck, other manufactures will try this too, driving the price down
as for the keys being flat, well all they need to do is add a transparent "regular" key on top of the one they have to give the same feel as a regular keyboardWe have enough youth - What we need is a fountain of smart!

Yes, but that will change the optics quite a bit. Humans generally don't like trying to read concave surfaces, especially from an angle.Originally posted by tjalfewith some luck, other manufactures will try this too, driving the price down

Pretty sure we could all pitch in and split the keys between us
If a full-size model ever sees the light of day, one of the key selling points for me would be if switching between layouts was quick and easy. Not so much for switching between languages or even for different applications, but rather when sharing it between a Mac and a Win/Nix PC.
I use a Japanese language keyboard on my iBook (yes it has English and Roman characters on it) and, using a software KVM, I share it with a PC that dual boots between English and Japanese versions of Windows as well as Linux. So a quick and easy toggle would be great if I wanted to maintain the same basic setup (in terms of the keyboard layouts) using something like the Optimus.Last edited by Jessterw; 8 January 2006, 12:08.“And, remember: there's no 'I' in 'irony'†~ Merlin MannComment
