Dean Kamen...nothing that people can actually use? I really do hope that was a sarcastic remark...Let us take a peak at just SOME of the stuff Dean Kamen is responsible for...
-A compressed air powered device which would launch a human into the air in order to quickly launch SWAT teams or other emergency workers to the roofs of tall, inaccessible buildings
-The AutoSyringe, a new type of mobile dialysis system for medical applications.
-The first insulin pump.
-An all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT using many of the same gyroscopic balancing technologies that later made their way into the Segway.
I am in no way a "MS fanboy" as you call me. You "clearly" dont have much knowledge though because it is a known fact that giant corperations dont reveal everything they work on to the public before its ready, or ever. Another thing to keep in mind is that corperations are always putting things aside due to production costs of the technology as well as being paid off not to release it. Corperations also buy patents from other corperations and then never use the product, that way they can still control the market with their substandard device.
What you have to remember is that these are the things they decided to show. This is clearly not all they are working on, but rather the stuff they dont care if other corperations and companies see.
Microsoft works in many more technological areas than Apple does...hence why they spend alot more money...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
