The iPhone has a virtual keyboard, which doesn't provide tactile feedback (I'm ignoring the space constraints because I seldom hear complaints about the size of it) and people say it's a crappy idea and blast it. These people have a tactile-less keyboard and now it's a great idea....wtf?

This is some odd anti-Engadget behavior......]]>Jun 12th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/Jun 12th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/Jun 12th 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/

(a couple of years back they did an IR Keyboard that displayed a keyboard on almost any flat surface, ... it didn't work because peoples fingers where bleeding from typing on a hard surface. (notice how the keyboards have buttons that absorb the shock of the impact of each finger, they might have ABS, suspension in the keyboards that we are not aware of, or even airbags)]]>Jun 13th 2008 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2308/2451660021_32aff6638b.jpg?v=0]]>Jun 12th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/

I don't know about all of you, but when I type I like having the tactile feedback of the key press, and also keep multiple fingers on the keyboard at any one time.]]>Jun 12th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/Jun 12th 2008 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/I'll be honest i've always wanted something like this its a great idea, except when you're the angry german kid then you just get glass shards everywhere. But for the everyday person a glass keyboard shouldn't be a problem just keep out of reach of children. As long as the key detection system works i'll definitely buy this keyboard..... now if i could just get a nice HD monitor thats the same thickness plus touch-screen I'd be set!]]>Jun 12th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/glass-keyboard-concept-opts-for-cameras-instead-of-keys/

I hope the near future brings holographic keyboards, or hell entire computers, with some sort of feedback.

Also wrist mounted.

I am sure a single fullcolor display would be cheaper to produce than the Optimus many tiny display keyboard... AND will make the Optimus look crappy!
