pretty sweet. Now just build a pico projector into the dock and we'll be set!

Within the decade, people will not only stop buying desktop computers (they have already), but they will stop buying laptops and netbooks as well.

People will carry their entire computer in their pocket, and a new breed of peripherals will emerge, in many different form factors, to usher in the new wave of wireless docking. We'll see laptop-looking devices that connect wirelessly to the computer in your pocket, and we'll see larger displays/projectors and mouses/keyboards that do the same thing. However it should be noted that these peripherals will also likely be able to serve as computers themselves, as the cost of powerful processors/memory/etc. approaches zero. Exciting times ahead!]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/Jan 4th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/Jan 5th 2010 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/
I will continue to buy Desktops.

Depeche Mode rock!

On topic.... isn't this pointless? The iPhone's small screen doesn't require a mouse at all. However, I do admire it from a homebrew perspective :)]]>Jan 4th 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/Jan 4th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/
I envision a portable workstation that consists of a BT keyboard, BT mouse, and a pico projector (1024x768). Using the iphone's 3g and logmein, I would be a happy traveler. ]]>Jan 4th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/24/want-to-connect-your-iphone-and-bluetooth-keyboard-theres-a-j/

Not everybody who has an iPhone has a netbook as well, while many iPhone users probably have a BT keyboard and mouse.. With the advent of pretty decent office apps, on the go word processing etc. while in a hotel room somewhere in the world would be awesome with this, especially if the iPhone were to be projected on a TV screen or through a pico projector...

You really think that if you needed to type something out in a hotel room that the four devices you mentioned together would be a better alternative than 1 laptop or a netbook?

A laser at the top projects the keyboard layout.

An IR tranceiver at the bottom outputs IR and detects finger position based on reflection. Its correlated with the laser layout and thus can determine which keys you're pressing.]]>Jan 4th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/Jan 4th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/Jan 4th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/iphone-and-magic-mouse-linked-up-by-btstack-video/

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/iphonehacks/~3/GpTymuMEC3M/btstack-jailbreak-app-makes-it-possible-to-connect-a-mouse-and-virtual-keyboard-to-the-iphone.html

how is that functional in the video and listed as non functional keyboards in the app?

will it be functional in the future?


Thanks,
