My mail asks for hard data on their sales
figures they claim in company news.
Do you have a source for hard data on their
actual sales figures?
Thanks,
Purl Gurl
Also from 2.1 Bill Outstanding
market Cap = 77 mill
IS the company worth 77 Million today even if they make a profit of 25$ / VKB they should be selling something like 4 million VKB to account for 77mill of course these are general figures and we all invest int he future my only concern is should I get in now and swing trade like you did or buy and hold it regardless of the price.
let me know
thanks
What I can do is state a generalized opinion
which is not wise and should be discounted.
Laser keyboards. Yes, I think they will be
a hit, no doubt. However, the market for
this product is very limited. I honestly
believe there are not enough customers for
this product to overcome production costs,
marketing costs and all that. I am projecting
this project to be a flop.
My rationale is simple. There are millions
of computer users out there. However, those
using PDA devices are a small percentage.
I have no actual figures. This product targets
PDA users. This is good because PDA users are
usually more affluent and able to afford a
"toy" like this. Toy. That is an important
concept to keep in mind.
Knowing a laser keyboard targets PDA users
and is a toy, not a "must have" device,
reduce the number of computer users to
only those using a PDA device. Next reduce
those numbers by to only those interested
in buying a toy. Finally, reduce your numbers
again to only those who can truly afford to
spend money on a toy.
Actual customer base becomes quite small.
This customer base becomes even smaller when
you remove those who would find this keyboard
to be a nuisance, rather than a benefit. I
am thinking of those who commute in cars,
buses, trains, subways and airplanes. These
laser keyboards cannot be used by them.
Those people represent those in a business
environment requiring PDA usage.
Even smaller, remove those who do not want
to turn off the lights and close curtains
so the keyboard will work.
Is there a problem with projecting laser
light upon a dark surface or a very light
bright surface? Is it possible laser light
will be hard to see on some surfaces?
There is another problem. A laser keyboard
is not a renewable consumer good. It is
not food, clothing, energy, things like that.
One keyboard per customer. That is it.
What do you think?
You should never buy, sell nor hold based
on my opinions. I could be wrong. I could
be leading you to loss of money or leading
you to missing a chance to make money.
Perform good research. Think carfully and
make prudent wise decisions.

hopefully most who got in low are in free share position with a profit. i have made a short term bundle with this one and will continue to play the beta, as this stock is super news sensitive. we saw a 30% swing just from a week ago friday, and it is on the up beta now. watch the intraday charts. i have found that with a 2-4 hour chart using bollinger bands, macd rsi and stochs you can play the beta quite effectively. like i said in a post when some were seeing a dollar, that a dime was disneyland to me, but this is the thrills, smoke and mirrors end of the stock world so who knows. a little simple math tells me this is a faith trade at these levels, but el dorado has given lots of baseless faith to those seeking a shortcut to it. many have died in the desert for lack of a real plan. i think there will not be anything that ever even closely resembles the percentage gain we saw from .0022 which was my lowest buy. i suspect we will get close to the upper part of the .03-.05 channel, perhaps even this week, that i predicted after the correction from the "this is your keyboard on drugs" intoxication.
i have made allot with afrr as well with this strategy although many gave up hope on it when it fell to .13 where i was buying again. its been up to .21 since and i have buys in again at .14-.15. it has good volume though news had been dead, and when there is anything interesting this will pop again. i have such a low basis in my 15.5 m shares of afrr i can afford to be conservative on my beta plays and go for 20-25% gain.
i encourage all who trade to give up trying to time the market. get in and out of anything you get a good feel for several times using smaller multiple traded each time. i sold some of my ibzt going into the run at .0089. i am not in the slightest bit concerned or self critical with selling almost 10 times lower than the top. the real fact is i sold part of my .0022 position at 300% profit and began generating free shares or at least lowering my basis. since then in about 15 more trades if i recall, i generated a 6 digit profit and have 2.25m no basis shares left. the profit is working and waiting to add and boost diversity to my portfolio.
you need to have a formula and a darn good reason not to stick with it if you really want to succeed trading penny stocks. they are just too volatile to pick the top and bottom of each cycle as they ratchet up or down. the point is there is often money to be made in both directions.
some people say don't fall in love with a stock, but i'd add, don't always look for one night stands. take the time to get to know any stock and learn it's individual "personality". i have a little nursery section of my portfolio that has allowed me to follow something with a vested interest and it has provides me with some incredible winners. the "weeds go away" with little pain and become fertilizer for the ones i like. take a look at trph which i bought ALLOT of last may around .25. my low buy was .17. the investment world painted doom all over it in 8 foot tall letters, but i looked into their intellectual property rights and it was clearly a good calculated risk. i recently sold some at 8.50. i will be buying it back again going into their q-4 report. i know this stock very well. it came from spending time with it. glw is another i have played for years, and continue to smile at. these arent penny plays but are similar beta plays. pdli has been another classic beta play. unless you like and only play the flash in the pan stocks take the time to get to know what you're working with and it can produce multiple rewards.
time for some rock and roll.

"...they are just too volatile to pick the top and bottom of each cycle as they ratchet up or down...."
Virtually all stocks will display a flux of
plus or minus five percent. What this means,
once a zero line (support) is established,
a stock will rise two point five percent,
fall to the zero line, continue to fall to
a low two point five percent below baseline,
then repeat this cycle of up and down. This
is the plus or minus five percent flux.
Many stocks will display a higher percentage,
with reliable prediction in a neutral status,
a condition of no news, no SEC filings and
such. Some may swing ten percent in price
on a very regular basis.
Beyond plus or minus ten percent, volatility
starts kicking in, defeating prediction.
It is possible, as Old Mullet suggests, to
work a stock, of which you know its history
very well, to work a stock for a periodic
profit, usually once a month, or once every
two months.
Power plays are required for this. A power
play is buying huge amounts of a stock. This
requires laying a lot of cash down.
Works this way,
10,000 shares equals $100 per penny move.
50,000 shares equals $500 per penny move.
You can quickly see how you can make very
good profits on power plays, or you can
lose a lot of money as well.
Trick is in carefully tracking selected
stocks for months, for years. Tracking
includes keeping a scorecard of daily
prices, high, low, close and volume.
Lot of work, but it pays off.
A simple one penny move can earn you
good profit, with care and research.
Power plays are not for lazy people.
You must keep good written records
each day, without fail, to be able to
accurately predict typical price flux,
and be willing to drop a lot of money
into a stock, for a short period of time.

An example I want to focus and bring up was that a few weeks ago I was vacationing in Orlando and went to WDW and took a ride on the Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress (Take a journey with an American family as it experiences technological changes throughout the twentieth century. Humorous family moments reveal how life has gotten easier and more fun). So this brings me up to the point that as this concept for a laser keyboard does seem very futuristic will it survive? will development somehow continue for products such as this. We must somehow look into the future sadly to say and wonder what other future and space saving products are there. Let's look at plasma TV, who in their right mind would pay so much for a product that hangs on your wall and cost so much. But it's the future. ( Sort of scary when you think of the Sci-fi thriller with governor Arnold S. in Total Recall year 1990 they had a similiar TV in Arnies home in the movie)
It's a new toy and like all new toys, folks want to be the first one on the block to have it first, and even second nowdays. Do I believe this stock will survive an upcoming status of .10 cents? Yes I do and not to far off from it. Let's analyze this stock a little bit more and forget about the charts for a second. This stock jumped up incredibly fast in the past months to an extreme of .08 cents (a little too fast, mind you). But pretty much settled down to it's current price. Everybody wanted a piece of the pie until a few folks got stuck on the high end and sold off. (Chasers). The company does have it's potential for more growth.IMHO

By the way I'm a newbie to posting on these boards, or any boards for that matter, but I've been reading a lot of the posts here... I'm impressed.
But, generally, I'll be keeping my mouth shut and my ears open
CEO Cast featured IBZT tonight; at bottom of this post.
If all those CD's have been converted and dumped, were in better shapre, and if Ibiz can buy back some shares with some of the cash flow - I think they'll be in the Big Leagues.
Your thoughts??
Steve
iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT) $0.037
We have never initiated coverage of a stock with a price so low. In fact, we were torn between the strong promise of the company’s technology and a sub-optimal capital structure. However, the parallels between IBIZ Technology Corp., a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants and hand-held devices and Socket Communications, a big winner for our followers, are strikingly similar.
The company recently launched the Virtual Laser Keyboard at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Keyboard attaches to PDA’s and projects the image of a full-size keyboard onto the surface of the desk where the PDA is placed, making it easy to input text without a physical keyboard. Unlike many small snap-on keyboards for PDAs, the Virtual Laser Keyboard provides a full-size QWERTY keyboard. It is also smaller and more convenient to use than the folding-type keyboards made by some manufacturers and similar to them in functionality. The Keyboard requires no special training.
It employs a USB/serial cable connection to communicate with the PDA or PC. Future models will incorporate Bluetooth and/or IR Wireless Connections to a variety of devices. The light weight device weighs two ounces and is similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Keyboard includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the device with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC. The battery lasts three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries. The cost of the device is $100.
The Keyboard has generated a great deal of attention. Recently, the Boston Globe featured the device, along with Tech TV & CNN. The company also noted that at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), investors were lined up 10 deep. Tech TV nominated the device for its Best of CES. IBZT received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on its site than any other product it has sold in an entire month in its 24-year history.
Since November 2001, the company has been rebuilding its product offerings in and around the PDA accessory industry. Last April, it launched two new products, The Xela Case/Keyboard, and The CF (Compact Flash) Pocket Radio. In September, it began shipping The SD (Secure Digital) Pocket Radio for Palm handheld devices. While the company has consistently been generating losses, its revenues have been steadily growing. For its third quarter ended July, 2003, the company reported revenue of $146,000, more than double its previous quarter, and more than the two previous quarters combined. With a strong backlog from the Virtual Keyboard, IBZT should report its highest sales quarter ever when it releases results for the period ended January, 2004.
So why is the stock trading for pennies? The answer is its capital structure. Unlike other companies that have solid capital structures, iBIZ has had to fund itself with a convertible debenture, which has diluted investors and kept the share price down. Still, when we initiated coverage of Calypte Biomedical approximately six months ago, it had a similar structure. Just one month later, shares had surged from $0.12 to nearly $1.70. If the company is successful in improving its capital structure, a strong increase in price could occur.
The stock has rallied over the last two weeks, as a result of the excitement surrounding the Virtual Keyboard, causing the stock to double on enormous volume. The stock traded over 700 million shares in one day. This is due to strong interest from investors, and institutions converting stock as a result of the financing. Due to the large number of shares currently outstanding, the company has a market capitalization of approximately $75 million, enough for a listing on the American Stock Exchange. The combination of growing interest in its promising Virtual Keyboard, along with an improved capital structure could make this stock a big winner for speculative investors.
Do you know of a company that merits coverage? Please let us know at news@ceocast.com.

"I'll be keeping my mouth shut and my ears open"
Heck, don't do either.
I never keep my mouth shut, and my fingers are
nothing more than an extension of my mouth,
just slower. In time, you will come to like
the taste of your foot, just as I have.
Listening, just pretend to listen. Your mind
is already made up, yes? I mean you wouldn't
want anyone to confuse you with facts, right?
* grins *
Home computers, maybe a bit of a market
there. I suspect this would be mostly kids
and young adults, in the toy market.
**
Chicago Joe, I am not so sure about military
applications just yet. There are a lot of
standards which have to be met, certification,
acquiring pre-approval listing, durability
testing, lots of conditions before government
buyers will even consider a product.
I have difficulty envisioning a laser keyboard
in a Hum Vee out on in the field. Perhaps
some portable command centers, but I have
my doubts. Military personal, like hard
heavy "soldier" like things. Battleships,
airplanes, tanks, and Budweiser trucks.
The military more often opts for equipment
which is self-contained, portable, very
durable, quick and easy to use and is
painted olive green. I would not expect
a military market for many years. By then,
something new and better will come along,
such as a finger touch keyboard as part
of a monitor, you know, touch screen
type systems. A forty-five degree monitor
with a portion of the bottom dedicated to
a keyboard, cpu, drives, all that contained
in the same unit.
Watch, some company will steal my idea
or grab a patent on this.
On phones and such, tough one. These laser
boards, I am doubtful they could be used
in bright light conditions, such as being
outdoors or in a well lit office cubicle.
You think drivers using phones are dangerous
now, just wait until they use a keyboard
while driving.
Having to carry around extra equipment
for a phone, no, I don't think so. I have
a hard enough time fitting a pipe wrench
and duct tape into my purse, not to mention
twelve pounds of cosmetic goods.
A phone with a laser keyboard included.
Perhaps, if you don't mind a phone the
size of a Korean war walkie-talkie and
carrying a car battery under one arm.
Yes, they are very futuristic, very enticing,
but I view them as impracticable. My guess
is there will no repeat sales once put into
extensive use and people discover problems.
Another problem you boys would never think
about, a simple problem; fingernails.
Give fingernails some thought from a female
point of view.
It is not my intent to be a doomsayer, it
is I see problems ahead. Toys, need of a
dark room, frustration...
Biggest problem, this is a non-renewable
product. One shot at a market and it
is gone.
Purl Gurl
"Lasers do not require a dark room...."
Yes, lasers do not require any conditions.
However, the human eye does require very
specific conditions.
All light is invisible to the human eye
until reflected off a surface, whether it
be raindrops or the moon.
For this application, laser keyboards depend
on a reflective surface. The company itself
acknowledges some room darkening is needed.
Consider this reflective surface, a mirror.
That keyboard will be invisible. For a red
surface, invisible as well. Surfaces with
shades of red to burnt umber, the keyboard
will be nearly invisible.
Red laser will display best on a matted
white surface, grey, medium green and
black surfaces, under the right conditions.
For black surfaces, there may be problems
with a need to have a completely dark room
because of black body absorbtion, another
simple physical law. Snap on a desk lamp,
poof, the keyboard become invisible.
Under bright light conditions, outdoors
or office lighting, the keyboard will be
washed out, faded, difficult to see
Military, in a dusty environment, a smokey
environment, a high humidity environment,
any environment containing airborne particles
will partially defeat or completely defeat
this keyboard. Laser light will bounce off
(reflect) off those airborne particles.
Oilman, this is nothing more than simple
extrapolation of physical laws. Those laws
cannot be violated, save for aboard the
Enterprise with Captain Archer, or within
Rod's Twilight Zone, sans cigarette today.
Have you figured out the fingernail riddle?
For a woman, a standard keyboard allows room
for fingernails between the keys, with some
practice, and without twelve inch acrylic
plastic fingernails to match saline water
enhancements measuring double Dolly Parton.
For a flat surface required for a laser
keyboard, us girls will be making a lot
of clacking and clicking noises, along
with worrying about breaking a nail, a
fate worse than a bad hair day.
To work around fingernails, short of using
glue remover to take off those plastic
fantastic nails, a woman will have to
lay her hands nearly flat to keep her
nails off the reflective surface. This
will cause significant wrist soreness
and finger fatigue, perhaps terminated
with the universal single finger salute,
along with chewing out her boss.
There will be an initial market, certainly.
However, consumers will begin to realize
there are problems they had not considered
in their rush to buy the latest hot toy.
In time, the market will dry up faster than
a garden snail on the Sahara desert.
So, jump on this and make a profit while
the market is there. My opinion is an
investor would be wise to jump back out,
very quickly.
Currently, seventy to eighty percent of the
stock price, is all hype. Strikes me the
price on this stock is already falling and
investors are losing money being suckered
by pump and dump con artists.
Eventually, after a long period of time,
prices will rise. During that time, some
will sell at loss to get out, others will
suffer anxiety waiting for prices to rise.
Still others will wait for the big boon,
which will happen, then be caught with
their pants down, when the market collapses.
Bandwagon stocks are usually not a safe
investment. Mad Cow, Moon Stock, Nano,
all reflect this, very recently.
In this case, stock value is purely a
result of unethical pumping and dumping
by those whose only intent is to defraud
the public.
Some comments on this. You read reactions
to my opinions on this stock. Pretty bad
amounting to nothing more than idiotic
personal insults.
Why?
Because I expressed opinions they not wish
to read nor wanted others to read. Some
are con artists, some are in a feeding
frenzy. None wanted to read an opposing
viewpoint and set upon me with all they
knew to do, personal level attacks.
I would not trust opinions of those whose
best intellectual ability is Ad Hominem.
Yeah, there is money to be made here and
it has already been made by pump and dump
scammers. Looks to me some have been left
holding an empty bag. In time, they will
probably regain their losses and pass
that empty bag to others.
What I express in my articles is nothing
more than opinion and is, most likely, of
no value. Do not buy, sell nor hold based
on my opinion nor the opinions of others.
Do your own research, do your own thinking,
make your own careful decisions.
Above all, show respect for those who do
not hold the same opinion as your own.
When you toss aside respect, you lose
instantly and decisively.
Purl Gurl
Well, I am one those who still predicts a $1, now in the next 2.5 months.
& with the report below it looks more possible now...According to the report ProVestor Plus Company Report (Jan 24, 2004), IBZT has 529.2 O/S & a Market Capitalization of 19.6 Million. I get this report in my Fidelity Accnt. This is great news.
I agree, I did not get the .10 when I thought this would fly thru all the psychological news hype it was getting, however, almost got there...0.08x
This company has great products...It has great news coverage...very rare for any OTCBB stock (even CNBC covered it)...It is beginning sales & revenues & it looks like it has done "something" with its outstanding shares (Still to be confirmed directly by the company).
This will be a flyer. I have not sold any shares yet, eventhough very tempted @ 0.08. I am holding this one medium to long. Hope no bad PRs come in....so far every PR has been positive.
Again this is not a pumping...do you own DD before making your decisions to invest.
I am a Technical Sergeant in the Air Force and my career field is Information Technology (more specifically I do network security).
The majority of all computer operations in the military are not in Humvees or even in the fields. Sure we set up Comm centers when deployed but even then they're partially fixed inside tents. However, most of it is at the bases inside the Network Control Centers.
As far as laser goes. It's not as sensitive as you think.

The OS is aprox. 2.1 BILLION and the float is between 1.2 & 1.4 BILLION. CD holders have converted and dumped millions of shares recenty- THAT's why the pps has been held down. Even so - I think this is going to be the BIG ONE for the pennies this year, jmo.
Steve
Where are you seeing 2.1 billion ? I do understand that CD holders have converted.
the vkb is more than a toy, but falls short of being the new keyboard we all will use. the real future in my book is non keyboard data input. a keyboard is currently the log jam with high speed modern computers and . as personal voice recognition and input analysis for correction becomes more refined, it is clearly the choice i would make since i am a hunt and peck guy anyway.
for my hp ipaq, i would have a hard time deciding between the vkb and the folding keyboard/case ibzt offers. on the laser i will likely wait till the bluetooth model is out anyway. i hate wires since i went wireless, especially on an airplane. but if my ipaq can replace a heavier laptop and be a simple clean setup, "i'm in".
radjar,
if this hits a buck this year, the first case of dom is on me. in fact if this hits a buck i think anyone who has played this to be in a no risk position or has been rewarded for being a long bull should plan a little party at the ibzt shareholders meeting. we should all toast what would have become a dream play.

i think, as i said in a few recent posts, that this will trade in a .03-.05 channel until there is news that will give investors something more solid to base their investment on. we could see the upper end of the channel this week if the press keeps coming. i think it will bounce off of the resistance around .08 when it finally breaks out of the channel.
ibzt is just starting to get it's business act together and unless they pull another rabbit out of the hat the best i hope for is sustained, slow (by penny investor expectations) ratcheting up. investors know about it now and it isn't going to vanish imho.

uncle milty
I have followed and, I appreciate all of your posts on the board. I think that you need to do some more research of the vkb tho---- The unit is supposed to work well in well lit rooms, as well as in the dark. I have read this in several places, i also have several products made with lasers (take the stupid little laser pens for example) they are bright as can be even in complete day-light. Also the uses for this technolgy are well beyond the pda as u have stated in earlier posts. Have you thought about uses for phones, personal computers, laptops, calculators, keypads(like security pads at airports) schools(so students dont constanly break keyboards), musical keyboards etc.......the uses are endless, and the vkb is just the spring-board for whats to come from this technology. Just some ideas to take into account........Bri

Apart from utilizing charts one must also think about the product being offered and what could happen to the company in the future of it's technology. I for one thought that the PDA would not amount to anything big but I was wrong. It really hit me home when i went to WDW and saw the before and after of technology being played.
Cj
PS. good to hear from you too.
cj, your few cents have often turned at least into dimes. i agree with you and am going to be an ibzt customer. within it's limitations, this laser keyboard is a good companion for a pda. i love my wireless ipaq, and it is just the start of this next level of the pda. until recently they were a glorified adress book and day timer.
i posted several times now, a link to canesta, a venture capital funded company supported by intel and other really big money. they could be and will likely be a real player in the vkb and virtual data input market. when bill gates gets interested so do i. no one commented on the posts i made with a link, so rather than burst anyones bubble, i didn't pursue it. but maybe you will find this interesting. i sure did. this would fit right into a pda or cell phone. follows the fundamental success principal of the growth of pda's. small package with everything in it. start here cj.
http://www.canesta.com/index.htm
as always, i appreciate the comment of a gentleman and seasoned trader such as yourself. let me know what you think after you kick around the canesta site a bit.

I have a very good feeling, backed up with charts & solid PRs from this company. All IBZT needs now is a news about numbers...especially how much they have sold & their prediction of how much they expect to be selling.
Charts still looks good, the PPS is constantly supported by 5 & 10 days DMA in this sideway trading.
This is how I believe it will be going up in the next 2.5 months:
Next resistance - 0.08
Next resistance - 0.20
Next resistance - 0.50
Next resistance - 0.75
Then it will go up to 1.00
This is also based on the fact that there will be positive PR with respect to earnings. If that PR is not good then I guess I am wrong, but I highly doubt it will be bad.
I am also confident, as I mentioned before in other posts, this will also rise on a psychological level.
Add positive psychological level + good charts + good PRs = "Something Big"
I have to admit that there are couple of guys here like Uncle Milty, Mav, Mach, Dadog, etc who know a lot more than me. I definately could be wrong & if it does not get to $1 than please do not shoot me. Still I believe everybody will be making money. That is why I alway try to say this is my opinion & not a pumping.
Uncle Milty, Love The Market I will try to mail you guys the report I got in Fidelity. I live in Mexico City, so it is not that easy for me to call an agent & then go thru there wait process without spending couple of hundred of pesos. Love the Market, maybe you can verify the report with your agent. It is really strange to me that the report was issued on Saturday. I really trust Fidelity not to accept reports without base, hey but then again this is all a gamble.
I have learnt a lot from this board, starting with how to read the charts. Thanks.
Again this is not a pumping, just my DD & opinion, do yours before investing.
I download the report from Fidelity, I could not find your e-mails, if you want the report please send me your e-mails to mine: jaiprakash_rajaram@yahoo.com

I am considering getting into IBZT. But could anyone on this board answer this one question regarding VKB keys. Have you actually used one? Does it really work as you imagined? It's kind of hard for me to believe it works. Here is why.
On a regular keyboard you'll notice that your fingers contact the keys two distinct ways. 1) touch to actually depress a key and 2) touch without depressing the key only as a means to keep in contact with the {A,S,D,F & J,K,L,;} keys to enable and ensure that your hands and fingers always remain roughly in the same orientation or position over those 8 reference keys as you type away. You simply cannot type accurately without your fingers being in contact with at least several of those 8 keys. How in the world can the laser infrared system detect the difference between those two types of contact?
Answer: Your fingers (hand) must hover above the VKB without touching at anytime unless your finger intentionally touchs a virtual key to enter that symbol into the PDA. To be able to do that you must constantly keep your eyes on the keyboard to make sure your fingers goes exactly to the virtual key you wish to contact. In normal non-virutal typing eye contact is not needed. Thus it would seem to me that the VKB would be pretty inefficient and problematic.
Here is a (link) photo picture of the IBZT keyboard: www.vkb.co.il/1.jpg IMHO it's quite deceptive.
When reporters etc describe or show IBZT VKB it sounds or appears to me as if they had not actually tried one themselves but giving 2nd hand versions of what it would be like. Sure, if you press or poke 2 or 3 virtual keys with one hand and demonstrate that clicks ensue and corresponding symbols are displayed on the PDA screen it works but that is not the same as typing away on the fly.
Please prove me wrong. I tried to sign on at Raging Bull IBZT to bring up the same question there but was unable to do it. Maybe someone there might have the answer.
It would be good to find out ASAP.
Regards,
Y

From what I've heard, it's a hunt & peck system. I think your summation is correct. Resting the fingers at the "asdf" keys would probably confuse the sensor. JMHO.

steve, good digging!! you are good at researching. what did you think of the canesta link i posted? this isn't really the licensing agreement that vkb has with ibzt. it looks like this technology has all of the big names involved. ibzt might be the first to bring it to market. depends on it's licensing agreement with vkb, and how the canesta link i posted works into this all.
thanks for being an example of how this board is supposed to work. like jack webb used to say on dragnet (i'm dating myself with this) "just the facts....."

I love researching good pennies. I can sure pick 'em, but I just wish I went with my gut on when to sell/trade them. The FEAR FACTOR of getting caught on the outside looking in is tough. I WANT to trade Ibiz- to at least quadruple my little 45,000 with THEIR money. It's TOUGH knowing I could have had 250,000 for $825 at Christmas. I had a buy in at .003, but B/A was 0033x0034 - and it shot up to .007 - and I wouldn't chase it - THEN I buy in a week later at .0164 - What a yutz! Would, Coulda, Shoulda
I REALLY need to learn charts as good as possible.
What does it mean to "Play the Beta" on a daily/hourly chart??? I just can't get a grip on IntraDay Charting!
Thanks,

steve,
you have been one of the core of what makes this site work like it was intended to. you really are one of the members that steps up to the plate when info is needed.
this stock is as many have put it, a monster. this is like a big zucinni patch in july. it just keeps on giving. i took some more off the table in the .0507 range. i still have 2m free shares and $130k in profit since christmas. not bad for around $15k invested. i made money on this before too, but not even 100% return on a much smaller position. and this thing just keeps hugging the upper bollinger band like a fur seal looking for a hole in the ice.
i said i thought a dime was disneyland, but just in case, i'm going to see if i still have my mousketeer membership paid up. maybe i'll get to hug annett funicello after all these years. she used to make me perspire when my voice was changing. (i was discovering that there were round things other than mickey's ears worth watching.)
do you have ameritrade streamer steve? if so ill help you set up some intraday charts and show you what i watch for.

Good because it is in USA Today.

This may be nun of my business but I am a new trader and only bought $10,000 shares of IBZT. I love this stock and hope to profit from it. Anyways you said you have made over $60,000 and I would definatly want to make that much even more lol. Was curious when you first started trading how much money did you start with, and how long did it take you to start making money off stocks. Did it take you a long time to learn the charts in order to succeed.
ONCE YOU GO IBZT YA DON'T GO BACK IMO
Thanks

So, as oilman would say, BOYS RUN FOR IT SHES FIXING TO BLOW! The MONSTER is eating!
i wish i knew how your friend sees that. i agree that the last two days have have looked great on intraday, and the trend over the last two days is much better than during the first few days after the initial run, but bollinger bands by themselves?? could you ask him how he is seeing a break above .08? i have found them to be a fairly reliable short term indicator, so i would assume he isn't using them for a long term indicator in predicting a break through the high. please ask him. i'm not trying to discredit him, just curious.

tell me a little more about the mentor program you are using for your stocks. i think you'll like taking advantage of your streamer as well, as it will track your portfolio and make trading a few steps shorter for those brilliant intraday opportunities. but i always like to see something i haven't tried. if you have a good balance or i think 10 or more trades in a month you start some free features from ameritrade. i am reasonably complaint free with streamer. they have fixed what i didn't like.
i'll send you my email in the morning. please if you can avoid it, dont send attachments. some bad buggies out there right now. i usually don't open attachments or open them on my ipaq if it is absolutly necessary. much easier to reset and clean up if necessary.
i'm hanging on by my fingernails. gotta get some sleep. i got back from los angeles. played 4 sets that night and have had a gig every night since. tomorrow i have a day off, so first is a blood drive and then i will go help pick out some student guitars in puerto vallarta. busman's holiday.

Let's face it, a laser keyboard is a toy. It's nice, and is amusing to see how technology is progressing, but a laser keyboard isn't just that practical. Take a piece of paper, write the keyboard letters, etc. on it, and try typing at the speed you might now--it's like air-playing a musical instrument, where it might seem you're doing something, but you're not.
There's one thing common to most lotto stocks (penny stocks): They're at the bottom for a reason. Most penny stocks started out in the dollar ranges, and the companies of these pennies are becomming bankrupt day in and day out.
I believe IBZT will go up before it goes down, but it'd be a really good idea to watch the price. The high percentage daily sort of make the holders start to believe that these rates will go on forever. It's a common display of the weaknesses of human psychology.
Regardless, for your own sake, don't end up back at the bottom where you started just because you had hope, hope that was created from previous hope, and somewhat consistent gains.
What's a winner today may be a loser tomorrow.
This was posted in RB...G'd luck longs!!
NEW YORK, NY --(WWW INTUIT_BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Virtual Keyboard has become a virtual wild card for iBIZ Technology [IBZT.OB] allowing the company to leverage all products with a product line offering for retailers. The buzz now; anticipation of the VKB is running high at Radio Shack stores from coast to coast.
“We received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on our site than any other product we have introduced sold in an entire month”. said Ken Schilling, President & CEO of iBIZ Technology Corp. “That is unmatched in our four years of providing PDA accessories. Our own web sales for the Virtual keyboard continue to grow”.
“Buy aggressively when the IBZT share price pulls-back to discount levels. Take advantage of the opportunities, this is how you ride the coat tails of the Market-Makers, this is how you create wealth” said Lavery of Zugal-Lavery Capital Management NY, NY.
A majority of Main St investors believe the good news is far from being factored into the stock price as shares closed up 21% [slightly above 5cents Tuesday]. This after day-traders locked in profits starting at 3:00pm. There is a pattern forming here. Previously in early January the share price ran up to 8cents near 2pm then and the Market-Makers slammed the price to 6cents going into the close.
Timing the spike-ups and the pullbacks is risky but it can lead to substantial profits and the market-manipulators will continue playing that game until the SEC decides to step in [and that won’t happen any time soon, not during an election year].
As the various legal departments continue working on contract specifics the IBZT buzz will get louder and the share price higher as unscrupulous attorney’s have a way of sharing inside information at Happy Hours or at their respective private Country Clubs. Some things will never change on Wall St even as Martha Stewart appears in court today.
For now it’s all about the unit sales numbers for IBZT’s VKB and what management has earlier announced as strong results. This more then likely sets the stage for a few more rallies for these high-tech shares, in particular because of the rising volume recently. This is a sure sign that more news is coming, for now it’s a question of how the Market-Makers play the stock through naked Short selling.
The Intuit_Information Newsletter price target for IBZT before this Spring is .22 to .30cents. When Spring has sprung IBZT’s shareholders could see a nice 300%+ net profit from current price levels.
This is the type of insight you won’t find watching CNBC or reading the Wall St Journal. The Intuit_Information Newsletter is an advocate for Main St entrepreneurs, it’s free and you can sign up at; in2it_411@yahoo.com
Have a great Winter and start ‘planning’ for a beautiful Spring [this as I look outside the window and see 5-inches of fresh snow]. And feel free to ‘copy & paste’ this post to increase awareness of the IBZT opportunity and the newsletter. TIA

Thanks.
To all those who played it better than I, enjoy!!!

An NEOM or even AGIS-like run COULD happen at any time when a "Numbers" PR comes out.
This is one of only about 10 pennies that I would say HOLD for the next few months - if everything they are predicting comes to fruition.....
Good Luck!
Steve
REMEMBER - this is JUST FOR FUN.....
I've been holding since.0164 - Wish I sold @ .08 and played the rolls - also wish I bought New Year's Eve in the .003's - but never filled @ .003 and didn't want to chase it. I paid over 5 times what I wouldn't pay then only DAYS later. I could have had 250,000 shares for only $750, which was worth $40,000 at .08!MOST stocks never go straight up - they roll UP and DOWN, even ascending. If we get back to .08 - I WILL try and work my way up to a ton of shares. The big risk is getting caught out trying to buy back in cheaper for more shares- and the BIG Sales PR's start coming out. But if it didn't happen til I had 120,000 shares and sold at .16 - I could VERY happilylive with that!! I'd LOVE to be able to pull off a scenario similar to what I'm gonna post. It would have to fall in my parameters, and hit the sell, buy, sell, buy targets VERY CLOSE.
DISCLAIMER:
This is TOTALLY a scenario I made up- and I am in NO WAY recommending ANYONE try doing this. YOU alone are responsible for any and all of YOUR trading decisions.
Here's what I'd LOVE to see happen. You'd have to have Brass Bal_s and NERVES of STEEL - especially after you had racked up some big profits! Just 5 RT trades! This is based on my 45,000 shares -
SELL 45000 @ .08 = $3,600.00 Keep $50 for Ameritrade fees.
BUY 71000 @ .05 = $3,550.00
SELL 71000 @ .12 = $8,520.00 Keep $20 for fees
BUY 121400 @ .07 = $8,500.00
SELL 121400 @ .16 = $19,424.00 Keep $24 for fees
BUY 161600 @ .12 = $19,400.00
SELL 161600 @ .20 = $32,320.00 Keep $20 for fees
BUY 201800 @ .16 = $32,300.00
SELL 201800 @ .30 = $60,540.00 Keep $40 for fees
BUY 252000 @ .24 = $60,500.00
NOW I have 252,000 shares. (Of course could have bought 'em for $750 2 wks. ago!!!)
I could sell 102,000 @ .50 and have $51,000.00 AND KEEP 150,000 shares
And out of the 150,000..........
Sell 75,000 @ .75 = $56,250 (And still have 75,000 worth $56,250 @ .75)
Then BUY 125,000 more if it droped to .45!!!!!
AND HAVE 200,000 shares - and just hold them
AND IF IT EVER BECOMES LIKE SONS or EGHT,
And if it goes to: $1 - $200,000
$3 - $600,000
$5 - $1,000,000
$7 - $1,400,000 - PAY $400,000 IN TAXES AND KEEP 1 million $$
Good Luck - Stranger things have happened!
Steve
I think to even if you wanted to TRY and do this, you'd have to be an IntraDay Beta expert like Uncle Milty and I don't have a clue yet.......
this is becoming a lesson i have never had the pleasure of having a vested interest in. it really makes me feel like i missed something in financial boot camp. if it were to reach .42 i will have made a million on a 15k play. what a first month to the new year!!!!!!
uncle milty
Here's the post. You're thoughts please...Uncle - anyone...
Post:
The Stochastics and the RSI are way way over bought and will have to head down before a more sustainable run is set. We have gapped for three days now from .04 to .07, will have to retest .04 - .05 area. I will wait for that before I buy in again. Too much profit, investors will start to capitalize on those profits. The smart ones will cash out on top and buy back in when the charts stabalize
Thanks,
Steve
MACD hasnt turned yet, so it could go higher. I'm looking to buy back in a few days.

I did not sell any because the gap between todays high & current average pps was kind of small. Just like Love the Market, do not want to miss the big run. This stock is so much psychological driven that it is hard to predict.
I would have sold @ 0.08 to get back in 0.06, however, thought too much risk, when the run resisted @ 0.07 & then it had a new downward resistance of @ 0.06.
Chart still looks good & STO seems to be crawling back to 65 for another explosive breakout.

Please email me when you get a chance. I STILL can't understand how MTOH went from .12 - $176 in 5 months (almost $400 with the 5/1 forward split). They are nothing compared to Pfizer, WMYT, PG, KO, MMM - but they trade much higher - and are STILL on the otc (or pinks I think).
Uncle - I don't care too much about Intraday trading tomorrow! LOL ;-) How HIGH can we go in the next few days? Look at SIRI - huge amt. of shares and still losing money.
COngrats to all who have held - In the morning we sprout Wings and fly to share-holders Heaven!
Will have severe trouble sleeping tonight!!!

I think it has found its support at 0.06.
Chart still looks good....
STO above 65 supported by 5&10 DMA
OBV just broke 0, usually a strong breakout signal
Latest PRs are not actually that bad. Any O/S addition will always have a negative impact on the stock but all CDs are gone....very solid news...
I guess the next solid PR (earnings) + charts indicators should help this cross the 0.08 resistance...& up we should go...
Go here read top 2 files tell me what you think....
Also - it looks like we have a cup with handle on the charts, and with the dip from shakes at the end of the handle, we could springboard!!!
But charts do not take into account News, and the news of major retailers on board & great sales will launch us like a Titan rocket!!!
gang - this is a hold for months, even all year - imo.
Again - I believe mngt. is doing EVERYTHING right, after many tough yrs. (they're 24 yrs. old) and this is the Penny Stock of the Year!

RISK FACTORS
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RISKS AS WELL AS OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES.
ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE
CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL ALSO MAY IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED. IN SUCH CASE, THE
TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
EXCEPT FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OUR SEC
PROSPECTUSES ARE "FORWARD-LOOKING" STATEMENTS ABOUT OUR EXPECTED FUTURE BUSINESS
AND PERFORMANCE. OUR ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MAY
PROVE TO BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE PREDICTED AS OF THE DATE OF
THIS PROSPECTUS.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND ANTICIPATE FUTURE LOSSES WHICH WILL COMPEL US TO
SEEK ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, we sustained a loss of approximately
$6,490,465 and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001, we sustained a loss
of $6,748,794. Future losses are anticipated to occur. We continue to have
insufficient cash flow to grow operations and we cannot assure you that we will
be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
WE HAVE A LIMITED PRODUCT RANGE WHICH MUST BE EXPANDED IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY
COMPETE.
To effectively compete in our industry, we need to continue to expand our
business and generate greater revenues so that we have the resources to timely
develop new products. We must continue to market our products and services
through our direct sales force and expand our e-commerce distribution channels.
At the present time, we have no other products in the development process. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to grow sufficiently to provide the range
and quality of products and services required to compete.
WE HAVE FEW PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, THE LACK OF WHICH MAY MAKE IT EASIER FOR OUR
COMPETITORS TO COMPETE AGAINST US.
We attempt to protect our limited proprietary property through copyright,
trademark, trade secret, nondisclosure and confidentiality measures. Such
protections, however, may not preclude competitors from developing similar
technologies.
"PENNY STOCK" REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF
OUR STOCK, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO SELL
THEIR SHARES.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally
define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price of less
than $5.00 per share. Our common stock is currently subject to these rules that
impose additional sales practice requirements. For transactions covered by these
rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchase of the common shares and must have received the purchaser's written
consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. The "penny stock" rules also
require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document
mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must
also disclose:
o the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative, o current quotations for the securities, and o if the
broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this
fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market.
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for
the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in
penny stocks.
These rules apply to sales by broker-dealers to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or
6
<Page>
$300,000 together with their spouse), unless our common shares trade above $5.00
per share. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may affect the ability to sell the
common shares in the secondary market as well as the price at which such sales
can be made. Also, some brokerage firms will decide not to effect transactions
in "penny stocks" and it is unlikely that any bank or financial institution will
accept "penny stock" as collateral.
IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY AN AGGREGATE OF $3,796,064 WORTH OF
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES WE CURRENTLY HAVE OUTSTANDING, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR
FAILURE TO REPAY THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, IF REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL
ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS.
As of June 9, 2003, we had an aggregate of $3,796,064 worth of convertible
debentures outstanding. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertible
debentures, together with accrued interest, will be converted into shares of our
common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If we
are required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use
our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to
repay the debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal
action against us to recover the amounts due which ultimately could require the
disposition of some or all of our assets. Any such action would require us to
curtail or cease operations.
THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES MAY ENCOURAGE THE DEBENTURE HOLDERS TO MAKE SHORT SALES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK, WHICH COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND
COULD REQUIRE US TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER NUMBER OF SHARES.
Our outstanding convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common
stock at a discount to the trading price of our common stock. The conversion
feature may encourage the debenture holders to make short sales of the common
stock prior to their conversions. Such sales could significantly depress the
price of the common stock, allowing the debenture holders to convert into a
substantially larger number of shares of common stock, which would have a
depressive effect on the market price of our stock.
OUR COMMITMENTS TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK MAY DILUTE THE VALUE OF YOUR
STOCKHOLDINGS, ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND IMPAIR
OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL.
In addition to the shares of common stock included for resale in this
prospectus, we currently have outstanding commitments in the form of convertible
debentures and warrants to issue a substantial number of new shares of our
common stock. Furthermore, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of
these securities is subject to adjustment, depending on the market price of our
common stock. To the extent that the price of our common stock decreases, we
will be required to issue additional shares upon conversion. There is
essentially no limit to the number of shares that we may be required to issue.
An increase in the number of shares of our common stock that will become
available for sale in the public market may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock and, as a result, could impair our ability to raise additional
capital through the sale of our equity securities or convertible securities.
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A
GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.
In their report dated January 17, 2003, our independent auditors stated that our
financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2002 were prepared assuming
that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is an issue raised as a result of a loss for the year ended October 31,
2002 in the amount of $6,490,465 and an accumulated deficit of $20,336,150 as of
October 31, 2002. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit
and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining
additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or
obtaining loans and grants from
7
<Page>
various financial institutions where possible. The going concern qualification
in the auditor's report increases the difficulty in meeting such goals and there
can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

Will history repeat itself? Last week we initiated coverage of iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT), an emerging manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants and hand-held devices. We noted many similarities to Calypte Biomedical, which surged 15-fold in price soon after, once it reached an agreement with its convertible note holders that had been pressuring the stock for months. Last week, IBZT announced that it had entered into a settlement with its convertible noteholders, which will likely remove the overhang that has hampered trading in the stock. Now, investors can focus on prospects for the company’s Virtual Keyboard and the future launch of the Blue Dock. Sales for the $100 Keyboard, which provides a full-size QWERTY keyboard, have been robust since it received strong media attention at the Consumer Electronic Show. The stock rose 58% last week, ending at $0.0586.

For example, if I spend $1 to buy 100 shares at .01, then I sell 50 shares at .02 for $1, I now have 50 shares and have my $1 back. (you have to factor in comissions though)
When you get your initial investment back in cash and still have shares, the shares are "free".

Neo! Go to DAVE's Super Picks (then go to in at .0025 posted Jan 01, 2004 and this should help! Eat MONSTER Eat!
This website has info on all developers of virtual keyboards, IBZT excluded, since it was made before their time. http://www.alpern.org/weblog/stories/2003/01/09/projectionKeyboards.html
So far i found that this company in Israel, VKB, has the technology, but i cant tell from their website if they mass produce them or not. The company was planning on selling them at the end of 2003 (this was as of 10/03). The website for VKB is http://www.vkb.co.il/
Cantesa was supposed to have these availabe in the first half of 2003. Cantessa holds patents for much of the technology needed to build these things. The patent numbers they have are listed on the first site i listed, except im unable to find any of the patents corresponding to those patent #'s searching the US patent and trademark office database.
Then as we know, Virtual Devices developed a virtual keyboard too. “Microsoft Corp., Palm Inc., IBM, Intel Corp. and Samsung have sought confabs to discuss possible partnerships and licensing agreements.” Who knows if this is true or not.
I'll see what else i can dig up. It seems like IBZT's virtual keyboard isnt such a good idea after all.
It is good to address peoples' concerns. I answered his concerns in that post.
There was also an added find I discovered this evening. Be well

once more. canesta and it's news is as fresh as a footprint in the sand at low tide.
their most recent patent was in jan 2004.
the bottom line is that ibzt has a "license" to sell this laser keyboard technology, and you will see the canesta chipset integrated into future cell phones and pdas imho. look at the partners canesta has. look at its prs. far from stale 2002 news.
http://www.canesta.com/index.htm
i think ibzt needs to use it's vbk profits to develop and launch new products. it is of immense importance that they move at warp9 because the future is in integrating laser keyboard technology or the next input technology du jour directly into the pda or cellphone that the vkb currently connects to. do your own dd. i turned up the canesta link and much more in a 1 minute search on google.

bart,
since the vkb and it's sales are what is fueling the current stock price, i would take a much closer look at the canesta website. they have a "stand alone" keyboard. or better an auxillary device to input keyboard entries. look under products. also take a look at their patents.
i have been unable to find any details on ibzt licencing agreement. there is a world of difference between a license to sell something and exclusive worldwide rights.
i still hold 2 m shares of ibzt. i don't want to see it go down anymore than any other shareholder. but to overlook facts that are public knowledge, and to place more importance on an undisclosed agreement to sell a technology than verifiable patented technology that is being sold to manufacturers for incorporation in their products is something worth checking into imho. i spent considerable time on the canesta site, and recommend anyone investing in this technology to do the same.

This website has info on all developers of virtual keyboards, IBZT excluded, since it was made before their time. http://www.alpern.org/weblog/stories/2003/01/09/projectionKeyboards.html
So far i found that this company in Israel, VKB, has the technology, but i cant tell from their website if they mass produce them or not. The company was planning on selling them at the end of 2003 (this was as of 10/03). The website for VKB is http://www.vkb.co.il/
Cantesa was supposed to have these availabe in the first half of 2003. Cantessa holds patents for much of the technology needed to build these things. The patent numbers they have are listed on the first site i listed, except im unable to find any of the patents corresponding to those patent #'s searching the US patent and trademark office database.Then as we know, Virtual Devices developed a virtual keyboard too. “Microsoft Corp., Palm Inc., IBM, Intel Corp. and Samsung have sought confabs to discuss possible partnerships and licensing agreements.” Who knows if this is true or not.
I'll see what else i can dig up. It seems like IBZT's virtual keyboard isnt such a good idea after all.

99% garbage, but as we "Allstocker's" know, it's all about finding needles in haystacks where ever they are.
Two seemingly legitimate parties called IBIZ (one yesterday and one today) to check on their order. Shipments will be made in days (not weeks).
My belief is that initial distibution annoucements, including initial store announcements will be the next significant piece of news.
Don't think for a second those at IBIZ are clueless to what 2-20-04 means. With this news, busting the first resistance level even with MM's now in place should occur. Beyond 2-20 could be a very positive period for the company and investors, exceeding expectations.
i couldn't find what you are referring me to.

since ibzt has been paying it's debts with shares and is not new to issuing more o/s, i think this kind of drop will be the norm for some time to come. most lenders and vendors aren't in the business of speculation in penny stocks.

PHOENIX, Feb 5, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (IBZT, Trade), a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDA) and hand-held devices, was covered in the February 9th issue of Business Week Magazine.
Otis Port, Business Week columnist, began by asking "Get the tiny keyboard blues when you use your personal digital assistant or handheld computer?" He then positioned the Virtual Laser Keyboard as a perfect solution.
The iBIZ Virtual Laser Keyboard attaches to PDAs and projects the image of a full-size keyboard onto the surface of the desk where the PDA is placed, making it easy to input text without a physical keyboard.
"There are no mechanical moving parts whatsoever in the Virtual Laser Keyboard," said Ken Schilling, President & CEO of iBIZ Technology Corp. "It provides a projected image that is the perfect portable input device for PDAs. It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but extremely futuristic looking."
The Virtual Laser Keyboard is compatible with Palm, Pocket PCs, laptops and desktop PCs. The Virtual Laser Keyboard will be available for $99.99 from major retailers, e-commerce sites, and iBIZ Technology's own e-commerce site in within the current quarter. An upcoming version for cell phones is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of this year.

Actually, it was sales of 100,000 UNITS that was originally projected. And word that I have read is that they are already having to produce these little devices elsewhere in the far East to keep up with demand.
I posted something I deleted because I'm "Fundemental Guy" to the hilt, so I want to be sure the information is confirmed.
Maybe you guys can help. My post read that IBIZ has a write up in Investor's Business Daily on page A-13. The Business Week article was getting a buzz last evening, and I had enough to confirm when I posted then.
I have read the BW write up. Very good pr for us (Thank you S&S again).
However, I haven't caught up to the IBD article. Rather than search and destroy a few more places, I thought I'd ask if anyone has caught up to this and it's content.
If it's confirmed, then something is starting to come to more than a slow boil.
Has anyone seen or confirmed it? Bo

Bluedock is a docking station for PDA/Handheld computer units to LAN's, notebooks and PC's. It serves to transfer information between the unit, however is needed. You can see the handheld display shown and optimize on your big monitior. You can manipulate programs, such as Pocket Excel and Pocket Word easily on your screen.
Information you input from the field into your handheld (using your VKB in the field of course.. you can load onto your hardrive with ease. You can perform print jobs from your handheld when docked. It turns your handheld into a viable computing platform.
In Germany, IBIZ will be featuring the VKB, Bluedock, FM Radio, and possibly a forth product. That's not to say they won't have other products there. I stress the word "featuring" when I type the above.
Hope that helps. Be well. Bo

IBZT Surfaces into the $1.6 Billion Dollar PDA Market
Thursday, February 05, 2004
NEW YORK, NY--(WWW INTUIT_BUSINESS WIRE)--2/5/2004 2:45pm In addition to potentially replacing the two million foldout keyboards sold for Palm and other handheld PC’s to date IBZT is surfacing into the $1.6 billion dollar PDA market and the $50 billion dollar desk-top arena with recently acquired Synosphere's Blue Dock. As for the $23B smart cellular phone market well this adds additional possibilities in 2004.
Synosphere specializes in the development of handheld computer technologies and has key intellectual property rights pending for 10 United States patent applications, 7 of which are related to Synosphere's new product, The Blue Dock(TM).
To take advantage of the market opportunities you need to refine your trading strategy or create new ones. While you read this post make a fist with your right hand. Place your left hand [palm open] in front of you and with your fist press into the open hand and push hard. What did you feel? 80% of the population created resistance with the left hand. Sometimes you’re the only one holding yourself back from creating your destiny.
As for the big picture; The greenbacks decline hasn't curbed the appetite of overseas investors digesting US equities. This is great news as we await the official Volume Data for January on the OTC.BB exchange.
The NASDAQ has pulled-back almost 150 points during the past 7 of 9 trading days and is near the 50-day MA @ 2014. This is becoming a great buying opportunity. The most recent time the 50-day intersect was breached was mid Dec when the index was @ 1926
When the NASDAQ uptrend continues it will favor every OTC.BB stock that is experiencing an up-trend and IBZT is one the Intuit_Information Newsletters Top 3 beneficiary’s for substantial percentage gains from the current price of 0.046. The price target remains 0.20 to 0.30 before Spring ‘04
Consider this, Foreign investors bought $87.6 billion of U.S. financial assets in November, that’s up 215% from $27.8 billion the month before, Net private buys of U.S. stocks were $8.9 billion, the first inflow since August. This has a significant impact on the OTC.BB volume and the stocks listed there that have existing up-trend momentum.
In closing, gathering inspiration and positive energy from one another is an ideal way to make a quantum leap in your trading strategy. The more you discover how your thoughts [positive & negative] influence your trading strategy the more rapidly you create your success.

The article did indeed occur! It was in yesterday's IBD, page A13. Not sure if it was on-line page A13 or the paper, but was encouraged to confirm that! That one went through quietly...dang.

2/9/2004? Date it'll start to soar?
What do you think Bo & Bart?
Since last Tuesday's Fed meeting, the main indicies have jittered day to day and bell to bell. Companies that emerged from the late 80's through the mid 90's (I don't count the late 90...fake economy - there was no surplus, there was no real corporate growth - sorry, I'll get back on topic. that topic is a short novel) are becoming cash cows. I mean that in the best sense. Slow share price growth, in some cases stagnant, fair to ok dividends and institutional entrechment. Every market has them. This market is emerging from what I mentioned between the paragraph. Leading the way last year were small issues, which brought the big ones with them. Although some are doing ok, larger issues for the most part have sat and sputtered so far.
Remember in the late 80's and even through the mid 90's, the internet, internet trading, and incredible ability to research and "smell" info was not possible. Today is like no other time the market has seen. Opportunities like IBIZ and others allow people to watch every tick, and cheer or jeer every fleck of news.
Some say, well they won't release the product, or they make wrong comments about synosphere. Just don't get caught up. For whatever agenda or reason (paid or not) they want the price to go down. Form what has occurred in your own judgement and act accordingly. When the product is released is not known. I honestly don't care if it is tomorrow, a week from now, or until after 2-20. I want it to be when they are sure all of their initital distribution goals can be met. Remember, Microsoft was started in a garage.
So...a very very long answer...to say, I just want it to be when the time is right. Whether it be 2 minutes or two weeks from now, these levels will be long gone.

TIM: Here is food for thought! Who knows for sure when the big move will come but it will come for sure! This stock (RMSG) on Monday was at a low of .35 on friday it peaked at $3.60 then ended the day at $2.63. Not saying IBZT will do this but when they move some of them flat move! So when it happens you have to be ready! Hoping for the best!

So lets hope that monday is the big day!

iBIZ Technology Corp.

The Keyboard projects the image of a full-size keyboard onto a flat surface, making it easy to input text without a physical keyboard. The company will exhibit at CeBIT, a German convention. The convention is the German equivalent of the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, where the company generated substantial interest in the Keyboard last month. iBIZ will also showcase its FMpocketRADIO, the industry's first FM Radio for the PDA Market. The stock ended the week at $0.048.
It will only get better.
so, what do you think this stock could actually reach in price? is .50 even possible soon after the product is released?
unlikely, sure...but possible?

How he know's Feb. 15, I don't know, but it's damn good news! I'm trying to sell this damn CTKH stock I accidentally bought too much of(long story). Once I do that I am hoping IBZT is still down this low so I can buy MORE!!
Waiting for the train, or Monster, or whatever it is that will make us some loot!!

"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
i agree with the patience you are calling for here, and that this could shape up into a tidy chunk of change by christmas. i called for people to excercise caution and take profit as this ran up stating i thought it would settle in an .04- .05 channel until there were numbers to give it a sustained higher share price. since most of my 5.5 m original shares were bought around .003, and as low as .0022, i felt compelled to recapture my principle and take profit. i am still sitting on 2 m shares and have a 130k profit so far (without reviewing the exact figures). this is formula investing and has produced consistant profits and a 38 stock portfolio that is over half free shares. i like this post because it speaks to long vision when a stock has the potential to turn into an island in the carribean for a sharp investor. the trick imho is to remove the risk and if you are lucky enough harvest a little profit. a part of the windfall from ibzt has allowed me to aquire a 34 million share position in afrr, and a 2m share position in tfct. and has seeded the nursery part of my portfolio with some plays which also might become keepers.
the thing to remember about searching for that next qbid ot buying into the run of an ibzt hoping for fast easy money, is that most investors leave a trail of their own money along the way. so as this gentleman said, let some of your stocks that look good ripen, dont pick all the blossoms before they fruit. just enough to give you big choice fruit.
i will once again call your attention to a stock that traded for as low as .17 last year and as high as 8.60 since then. it is one of my trees that financed an orchard of other stocks. i sold it all along the way and after taking CONSIDERABLE profit on my 180 k original position, i still hold 4 times my original investment for that rainy day. why did i sell along the way? because i saw better opportunity to diversify. at 8.50 there was allot more space below than i saw above. think geometrically and only play those short "lines" if the stock is all hype, and then only when you have been drinking too much. that way you have an excuse.

I got into this because I thought it had excellant possibilities in the long term. I'm not so interested in that magic .1 or .2. I think it could very well pop up to that soon but there are so many players that have their eyes on that number that when it does get there a big sell off should be expected. I plan for this ahead of time so that I don't get spooked by the hype and the sudden drop and sell. Unfortunately I can't afford to jump in and out and pick up shares so I must find good looking stocks cheap and ride them out. I'm thinking that there will be a big push up to about .13 in the very near future followed by a retreat back to .08. from there it will bounce back and forth with high volume until it settles around .1 then a slow steady rise through the summer with another big push in the fall with the advent of the Bluedock. By Xmas I'm hoping for .8-.9 and depending in 4th qtr results and the Bluedock release I would expect a rise up near $2 by 4th qtr next year. If all that holds true the next goal would be AMEX or NASDAQ picking it up then mutual funds buying in around $5. After 5yrs price will be $7.40 after 3 splits. Pipe dreams? Maybe. If I'm wrong you're all invited to chew me out in 5yrs. If I'm right...I might let the group know the name of my island in the Carribean for a reunion!!
Happy Trails!

You see my point. But I agree with you that this type of technology will impact future products. And that is why I'm in for the LONG haul.
I wish us all the best!

Trading OTC.BB Stocks
Sunday, February 08, 2004
(originally posted by go4itfl)
NEW YORK, NY --(WWW INTUIT_BUSINESS WIRE) --2/8/2004 9:40pm The Virtual Keyboard has become a virtual wild card for iBIZ Technology [IBZT.OB] allowing the company to leverage all their PDA products with a ‘product line offering’ for retailers. The buzz after tomorrows Business Week promotion; anticipation of the VKB sales at Radio Shack stores from coast to coast.
IBZT recently reached a milestone financial settlement agreement with; The Laurus Master Fund, The NIR Group, Lites Trading and LH Financial to settle all remaining Convertible Debenture [CD] debt. What does that mean? Keep this penny stock on the top of your Hot $tock List as momentum into the teens is just around the corner.
“We received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on our site than any other product we have introduced sold in an entire month” said Ken Schilling, President & CEO of iBIZ Technology Corp. “That is unmatched in our four years of providing PDA accessories. Our own web sales for the Virtual keyboard continue to grow”.
Schilling recently commented, "Today is a monumental moment in the history of iBIZ Technology Corp. We can proudly look back on the last several years knowing we survived industry downturns and a depressed share price."
“Buy aggressively when the IBZT share price pulls-back to discount levels. Take advantage of the opportunities, this is how you ride the coat tails of the Market-Makers, this is how you create wealth” said Lavery of Zugal-Lavery Capital Management NY, NY.
A majority of Main St investors believe the good news [news with substance] is far from being factored into the stock price. In early January the share price ran up to 8cents and the Market-Makers slammed the price to 6cents going into the close at below 0.05 Friday.
Presently the stock is selling at a 40% discount to the recent high price of 0.08 and Smart Money will start accumulating, Why? The big money that controls the market-cap refused to pay the Convertible Debenture sellers a premium, "that’s why you see resistance at the current price levels". Smart Money knows every detail of the deals on Wall St. and knows the CD sellers will always take their money when they can AT WHATEVER PRICE The Market is paying because they know if the uptrend continues they can always day-trade the stock.
Smart Money knows that IBZT now has a capital structure in place which will not be impacted by further dilution not to mention the real revenue potential of the VKB [this is cutting-edge technology in an untapped multi-billion-dollar market place].
Timing the spike-ups and the pullbacks is risky business for Main St traders but the professionals know it can lead to substantial profits. Until the “real news” hits the PR wires the Market-Makers and Big Money will manipulate the price and they will continue playing that game until the SEC decides to step in [and that won’t happen any time soon, not during an election year].
As the various legal departments continue working on contract specifics the IBZT buzz gets louder and louder and the share price inches higher as decadent attorney’s have a way of sharing inside information at Happy Hours or at their respective private Country Clubs. Some things will never change on Wall St even as Martha Stewart appears in court again Monday.
For now it’s all about the unit sales numbers for IBZT’s VKB and what management has earlier announced as strong results. This more then likely sets the stage for a few more rallies for these high-tech shares, in particular because of the rising volume recently.
http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/screener.asp?exchange=118&view=6&lookup=Look+...
IBZT is a daily fixture on the OTC.BB Most Active List and that’s a sure sign more news is coming. In the meantime it’s a question of how the Market-Makers play the stock through naked Short selling [and that changes Feb 20th as per the new SEC naked-short-selling rules]. "IBZT is one of the hottest stocks in town, the volume proves that".
The Intuit_Information Newsletter price target for IBZT before Spring 2004 is .20 to .30cents. When Spring arrives IBZT’s shareholders could see a nice 300%+ net profit from current price levels.
This is the type of insight you won’t find watching CNBC or reading the Wall St Journal.

Steve good point on ordering through iBIZ. I will do that tonight! I had not order it yet! No I did not buy any QBID! My MONSRES say it would leave a bad taste in their mouths! (Get the drift.) I'll get it for that from ??? As for PG! Now I do not go on the sites she's on! This is the one thread that I do not find her own! I have not seen her on here so safe for right now! (Oh don't you go tell her either! Just kidding I know you want!) But, if she comes I and others are ready! She is not after the MONSTERS! I like that one person on that site said everyone was sick of the MONSTERS! Funny thing about that, I have looked all over the place and never seen that name anywhere else! On IBZT just setting and waiting on the run! It is like a time bomb just waiting for something to set it off! Oh so soon now!

i don't want to sound like the devil's advocate, but just want an open discussion of what can really be brought to market. i'm sure if all parties meet the demand we will see this played out to a rock and roll melody. if deliveries are slow, that changes the projections, and perhaps the future of this keyboard. canesta is breathing down their neck and is backed by some big institutional investors.
i know there were some posts stating vkb was having difficulty in mass producing a lens unit with consistant quality. i have not verified this. does anyone else remember the source of this post?
if these vkb's are going to perform well, the units themselves will be the best advertising. there is an immense need to get the first million units delivered to the first "gotta have" buyers because they will drive the future demand more than anything else.
believe me, i hold 2 million free shares and would love to see this charge past a dime and never slow down till ibzt was a nasdaq stock. investors are waiting to see numbers to back up the words to make it happen IMHO. i haven't booked that suite on the queen just yet. but i think i might have to buy a couple of new suits before this is all over....lol

thanks bart. i think it might be worth a call to vkb on a sam's phone card to find out what the daily production capability is.
but for now i need some shut eye. thanks again for the link and info.
uncle milzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Bo's card was charged.. means keyboard is shipping!!
Bart found out that it costs $40 per unit, after that $20 per unit to produce. This is huge. They are selling at $99!!
I sure hope that HSN gets the deal on IBZT rather than QVC. HSN does a better job at selling.
Too bad I am out of liquidity hahaha or I'll buy more.
Ride the tidal wave!
I haven't ordered one from on line. I will likely be purchasing from local retailers.
My post above shows the first and second people I'm aware of that have had a charge on their cards. The first to post was actually a sweet grandmother of all things.
So much has been anticipated and written, and here is her humble little post (and a couple other quiet posts)that changes everything. Enjoy today. Bo

Joey's posting is accurate. I checked it out and their revenue for 2002 is 356k, and I think 2003 will be similar.
Being extremely conservative, at 100k units a month, assuming the sale numbers will not grow, that'll be yearly revenues of $120mill!!!! or.. translates to 36000% growth year over year! We haven't even factored in BLue dock nor the cell phones yet for the revenue. This is insane.
IBZT was $30 5 years ago... if the sales revenue sustains for a year.... I wouldn't be surprised if it hits $15 after a few company buybacks and splits.
============================================
revenue for 2002 was 356,000 for the whole year. 2003 with one quarter yet to be reported is at 282. Earnings per share in 2002 was -.19 and 2003 is at -.03 with one qurater yet to be reported
any more company info.

Now, I think, I am very very conservative here! Asia 60K a month, Europe 60K a month, rest of the america,s plus Canada, Mexico etc etc 60K a month. Now put in all the other countries not included in the above and give them 20K. Now thats a very conservative 300K a month! 300K times 25 is $7,500,000.00 a month times 12 months is $90,000,000.00 a year! That is not counting selling any of there other items they have now! There company is worth only about 20M now! There debt is approx 5M last I heard!
That gives them a profit of $85,000,000.00 after paying off their debt! IS THERE ANY OTHER STOCK WORTH .046 CAN SAY THAT! Plus they have the BLUE DOCK (which will be bigger than the VKB coming in the 4th qtr)(iBIZ having the patent) and also the CELL PHONE coming in the 4th qtr (with iBIZ having the patent)! This company should be rolling in the $$$$$$$! The 2nd year the CEO said they would even sell more! Orders are backlogged everywhere I and others have checked. You have to get on a list to get one! The demand must be HUGE! This is my attempt to put some figures out that I feel are lower than what it will be! Please add your opinions and maybe we all can get a good feel for what we all think and or know! Eat MONSTERS eat!

Neo, I am a newbie so I have no idea what the stock will do, the only reason I am in this stock is b/c I truly think the VKB is an awesome product. I don't own a PDA, so I won't buy one, but I do know that many, many poll's, survey's, and news show that PDA are popular now, and will be more so in the future. I am no pumper, or basher, or whatever, I just think this will sell, and make Ibiz, and all of us some loot!!
Will someone pleeeeaaaassseee feed this monster some PR!! lol

"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
If Ibiz ever said they were buying back say 1 billion shares - We'd go through the ROOF! One of the biggest things holding us down is an OS of 2.5 billion and float of 1.4 billion.
QueerBid just had a HUGE. 3,600% run - it was due for a big pullback to fill in the gaps.
I don't think we'll doing anything but move sideways or keep dropping UNTIL the PR's stating both Retailers and Sales figures come out. We know they'll be huge.
ANy other fluff PRs just to stop the bleeding won't cut it anymore, imo.

Offcolor joke:
PS: You know what they say about the people at QBID? They Su_k!
Sorry if I offended anyone - but couldn't resist!
Price is approaching 30 day EMA, support
Fibonacci calls for support at .04
On the 10 day chart, williams is showing oversold, and money flow is VERY VERY good.
Classic MM manipulation of the price, trying to force it down before the next run on sales news.
FUNDAMENTAL ESTIMATE
To turn a profit on a running approximate $4MM loss this year- say profit per unit is an extremely conservative $40 after production and overhead- they would need to sell roughly 100,000 VKB's for breakeven EPS. Profit of $60 per, they would need to move 67,000 units. These are both low estimate from the numbers that have been posted
Based on the online order id numbers, it seems there has been more than 4000 ordered from the site itself (either this year or this month) and from that you can add all retail outlets around the world, and then add existing products. Wow.
Anyone else have some predictions?
[This message has been edited by cabbage22 (edited February 10, 2004).]
ibztrocks,
I think we will go up much higher than the teens. JMHO, of course.
6-month projection: Stock price = .93
REVENUES:
Let's assume that IBZT only sells 150,000 VKB per month. That is $99.99 x 150,000 = $14,998,500 per month equals $179,982,000 per year.
COSTS:
According to Ken, the cost is only $40 initially and $20 shortly thereafter. Since pps is based on future profits we will use the $20 figure. $20 x 150,000 = $3,000,000 per month.
$3,000,000 x 12 = $36,000,000 per year
Retail costs in major outlets, like Radio Shack can be as high as 30-40%. Let's take the 30% figure because IBZT will be selling at cheaper places and through their own website.
.30 x $179,982,000 = $53,994,600
Re overhead costs, lets assume they are 50% of manufacturing costs, say $10 per unit. That is 10% of retail sales.
.10 x $179,982,000 = $17,998,200
Assume royalty cost = %5
.05 x $179,982,000 = $8,999,100
Total costs = $80,991,900
Earnings = Total Revenue - Total costs
Earnings = $179,982,000 - $116,991,900 = $62,990,100
Total outstanding shares = 2,370,000,000
Earnings per share = $62,990,100/2,370,000,000 = .0265 per share.
Note: This is only taking into consideration VKB, not any of the other wonderful products, like Blue Doc. Also, it is assuming only 150k production volume per month. People have mentioned that production would take place in Asia if the Israeli capacity of 100k per month was inadequate. Apparently we are now producing in Asia. I am assuming that we will ramp up another 50k per month.
Use a very conservative P/E = 35. This is very, very conservative for a growth stock.
pps = P/E x Earnings per share
pps = 35 x .0265 = .93
LONGS PLEASE READ! This is my opinion.. Ken and Mark have been very pissed off at the MMs for dumping all the shares everytime a PR release has been announced. My conclusion they both know that the next few upcoming PRs will be very huge that will drive the PPS earnings up drastically such as
(Names of National Chains to carry the VKB, Order numbers, Pre-order sales figures, contracts and agreements)
I feel that they will not release any major PR News pertaining to any of the above until after Feb 20 when the SEC rules goes into effect for all the MMs and shorts cannot keep shorting thier stock as we and the company are the ones getting ripped off by these MM azzholes.
Ken already mentioned they were disgusted how the MMs kept dumping thier shares after all debts were paid off by IBIZ, everytime a PR was released and then they kept on driving the price down. They are as sick and tired just as we are of all these MMs how they have manipulated and controlled thier stock price and we are the ones paying the price.
I feel that they already have all the PRs prepared to be released and the VKBs are already here to be shipped, but they will not ship anything until after the 20th. It only makes smart business sence not release any major PR news until after the 20th so these MMs cannot have thier way with this anymore and protect the PPS earnings and us as shareholders that belive in this company and thier many great products. I know they would like to put a PR to let us know this but we have to be the ones to do our own DD homework and figure this out on our own.
Thats why they also got a extension for thier 10K earnings which will be released with all the other major PR news which all of this now makes sence. If you read between the lines and put yourself, your company and the best interst of your shareholders this is a smart move for all. We just have to ride it out for the next 10 days.
This is my opinion that I feel will happen.
After the 20th we will see this go into the teens and higher from here on out..
I would appreciate opinions from only longs..
Excellent post.
A question for the group....
We all know what 2-20 means, BUT, doesn't anyone involved in naked short selling have to cover by or before the next three trading days?? Bo :)
GuyInBoxers, Congratulation... Best to luck with the wedding...
And people... Stop dumping! it will go up... Matter of times...
On top of all else which is expected to blow the lid of this one, I found this a few minutes ago. It's Walmart's on-line catalog. No...it's not the VKB. But I had no idea they did business with Walmart. I knew about CompUSA, Mobileplanet, Radio Shack, Office Depot...etc, but Walmart!
Absolutely mindboggling if the VKB and/or Bluedock is sold there....Bo
[This message has been edited by Bo14172 (edited February 11, 2004).]
the level of excitement about the dock in 7 months time will crush the level of excitement we have about the keyboard!
i might just hold my shares and pay my reception bill with stocks of IBZT next march!

Next, what struck me just as hard was the high number of other PDA accessories being initially shipped with it. Some of their other products are outstanding, and sales in those area will rise dramatically above previous totals.
Third, this news is timed right in the face of 2-20. Naked short sellers only have ONE trading day left (2-13) to cover their shorts, since Monday is a holiday and no trading will occur.
The product line for IBIZ only gets better with the addition of Bluedock, among other technologies being developed. Be well Bo

I believe it is apparent we will need a earthquake of a press release to return us to a 52 week high. I was watching on level 2 and the mm just kept dumping the lower priced shares as it tried to run up. They just poured alot of water on this so it just could not burn.

The VKB will be shipping in about 1-2 weeks. The amount of orders has been
incredible.

haha! i flunked accounting in college cause i skipped it to watch blues clues!
News is now showing under Circuit City's heading.

My only concern is the email i got from iBiz (i suspect from a family member of schilling because the last name is the same) that said it would ship in 1 or 2 weeks. Thats a long time. Longer than many have suspected. I am starting to get weary. I am only about in 6% of my total investing money so im not too worried. The rewards outweigh the risks, imo.
ps- im still waiting on emails from some other carriers of the VKB
Hello Tim,
The Virtual Keyboard is available now for advanced purchase. The "Usually Ships"
date you see on our website is the tentative date the manufacturer has scheduled for us to receive it.
This date is subject to change by them. Advanced orders are not charged to a credit card until
They actually shipped to the customer.

Stupid question...but in words I can understand (such as "the", "or", and "blue") can someone tell me what exactly a 10K report is, and will it be good for us when Ibiz files it?

"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
MM's (GNET) in particular grabbed a hold of this 5-10 minutes into trading. Naked short selling and instant buybacks among a group of shareholders was a major factor today.
As this snowball rolls over the next week, month and 60 days of events (and MM naked short selling ends very soon) you'll see a different market response. Bo

Exactly.. IMO this is one of the stocks we are all bond to see flourish after 2/20. After a strong PR the volume FLY'S! Horrible victim to the naked short selling. AND, correct me if Im wrong, but I think the PDA radio adapter is the only kind of its type. If it is, and Circuit City puts it on its shelf, then I think it will be almost as big as the VKB. Cheap products, good quality(assuming), and most importantly, original! The MM's are killing spirits to accumulate as much as possible so when it blows they prosper. DONT SELL, hold long, and if the price drops then buy more. Its all we can do till March, when I think this thing is atleast @ .15 -- Just my opinion! Good Luck

I'll only mention it here, because it seems the mere mention of any valid concern on the q-bid thread is taboo.
When loking at IBZT, many looked at the strengths and yes, considered the cons.
This is done (or should be done) on any stock. I won't rehash 1 1/2 months of events which show their strength as they are easily known. But concerns should be looked at and discussed. And it is different for each company. Concerns from Jan 1 til now have been, patent rights, company debt, product demand, retailers involved, product production & delivery.
Each concern has been fully answered to me along the way. VKB is the patent holder and IBIZ has the exclusive license with the. IBIZ is now out of debt. Product demand is very high and growing. The first of many national and global retailers was mentioned today. Production in Israel may expand to the far east as well to meet demand. It's a promising future which a lot of DD to go on.
As for Q-Bid, I posted earlier today in that forum and did not realize that 2 people posted before me with near the same concerns. It wasn't til I logged on tonight that I realized this. If 3 people thought of questions that need asked (not bashing, just questions) then I'm sure many have.
The very first thing in any product, service or in this case 24/7 gay programming, that I look for is competetion and can the mega-companies run with the idea (if not protected) quickly. In Q-Bid's case, they have a willing market, but just this week Bravo, MTV and possibly others may attempt the same. It was mentioned Q-Bid may be a subscriber service, vs the others as just part of regular cable programming. A position in Q-BID now would have me dig in every nook and cranny to see if there is any truth to a signed agreement with Time Warner. Again, my thought is Time Warner is so huge, that such a project is likely on their shelf and can be produced quickly if that is the market they want to get into. But if Time Warner uses whatever QBID has (that still isn't clear on the time of clearances, production facilities, shows, actors, etc)then you've got something big. I hope for the best outcome.
I promise I won't be posting about Q-Bid anywhere again..lol You asked and thought I'd offer my take on what you need to be digging to find out. Be well. Bo
I knew you were jesting on your comment.
When you bring up valid points to ponder and the response is hypersensitivity rather than any answers of fact or perspective, wish 'em well and move on.
I hope your wife is in the loop on your plan..lol Be well Bo

[This message has been edited by TTmaster99 (edited February 13, 2004).]
It is obvious GNET and other blocks of MM for the past 2 days have taken reigns of this stock and are in naked short mode to the n-th degree.
If Ken put out news Tuesday morning at 6am that IBIZ is buying back their float and lists a half dozen retailer agreements at the same time, the look on the manipulators' faces would be priceless. Those who have exposed shorts since yesterday's news would be hung out to dry before the opening bell.
He would also get my vote for man of the year..lol Be well, Bo

I had the same questions in early January about Canesta, but satisfied any concern at that time with the 3 following points:
1) Although Canesta had a virtual keyboard
in 2002, VKB (the company) had already
filed a patent for this technology back
in October of 2000. It was granted to VKB
in November of 2003. Protecting this
technology was the most appealing factor
for me when researching IBIZ in early
January. Here is the link showing the
date of VKB's patent approval and
application date: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06650318__
2) I looked up Canesta in a couple different
brokerage sites, and to the best of my
knowledge, Canesta is not a publicly
traded company. Whether they are or they
aren't though, point #1 makes this issue
moot.
3) Seizing the advantage of VKB's patent,
IBIZ is the first to market this
technology globally, with current
national and global retailers, both
storefront or e-retailers. Last night
I found a large European e-retailer
that has sites in 7-10 (not sure of the
exact at this writing) European coutries,
each site being in that country's
dialect. No other company could present
the vkb at the CES in Las Vegas, because
only IBIZ had the rights to do so by
their agreement with VKB.
Hope that helps. Hope your weekend is good.

iBIZ Technology Corp. Files Annual Report 10-KSB for 2003
PHOENIX, Feb 13, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Phoenix, Arizona, iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT) today filed its annual report 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2003.
Commenting on the annual report, Ken Schilling, iBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Since the beginning of fiscal year 2003, our team has been actively involved in redefining our product offering as well as our distribution venues. Fiscal year 2003 became a pivotal year in all aspects. We released several new ground breaking products including our revolutionary virtual keyboard, which has garnered national media attention. The company has also restructured its debt and placed its entire focus on bringing iBIZ Technology Corp. to a new level of leadership in the handheld computer accessory industry.
"Late in our fiscal period beginning September 1, 2003, iBIZ has seen a dramatic improvement in sales and orders for our products. New retailers have emerged and continue to demonstrate interest with new orders to place our products in their retail venues.
"Throughout fiscal 2003 and through today, we have been retiring both convertible debt as well as accounts payable. Today, iBIZ has retired all convertible debt with the exception of one debt holder, which has been entirely restructured affording manageability to our capital structure."
Schilling further commented, "today iBIZ Technology Corp. has emerged into a company that can continue to grow through innovations in technology, increasing revenue and a manageable debt structure. Steering the company from this point forward will be an exciting time for all of us and we look forward to the future."
------------------
Ciao! Good Luck!!
Ken Schilling and Mark Perkins have done an INCREDIBLE job resurrecting Ibiz..... I, for one, can't wait to see Q's 1 and 2 this year!
Thoughts?

Well that answers the O/S VS. Authorized Question..... Comments?
I don't know why the 500 mil. figure is still around. I have personally called the transfer agent and the OS is about 2.6 billion and the float about 1.5 billion. I posted the EXACT #'s about a week ago on ONE of these Ibiz threads!! LOL
Have a good weekend,

I reviewed the patent list of Canesta and from what I reviewed none are specific to the virtual keyboard. The input device that obtained a patent in Sept has to do with sound technology that may or may not pertain to voice input (which is still a very raw technology in terms of accuracy and consistancy).
Thank you for bringing that there list of patents to our attention. I feel most assured of the patent VKB has.
Take care,
Bo
It's only from posts that I have read claiming e-mails from Ken Shilling stating that what is occurring is in accordance with the business model they laid out. A reverse split would be a last resort and certain language that it would not occur.
A company buyback of the float (~1.4 bil) and strong US and foreign demand for their stock may eliminate any need for a reverse split. SIRI went through something similar and were successful. My belief is that is their intention here. Bo

Seems very similar to VKB... but I'm no patent attorney...
The Canesta sound device has a different patent number.

There is no listing for the patent you linked in Canesta's site. In their site, on the left side in the Technology section, the patents are listed beginning with the most recent. There are 2 they list in January 2004 which has nothing to do with vkb, and the only listing I see in Sept 2003 is the listing that Uncle Milty posted, with is a noise/voice activated system.
In no other place on their site did I see downloads. I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious how your link is from their site, when even they don't list the patent anywhere that I could see.
And you're right, it seems similar, but also seems to focus on being intregral with the hardward of systems. I don't see any news of them taking this to market, have any business model to display or mass produce this. Thanks for any insight on where specifically in their site you were able to access this link. Bo

"What is included with the Canesta Keyboard Prototyping Program and what is the cost?
Companies enrolled in the Canesta Keyboard Prototyping Program receive 1) three complete sets of the Canesta Keyboard Perception Chipset (Sensor Module, Pattern Projector module and IR Light Source module), 2) Application Test Bed (a tool utilized for customizing keyboard layouts and conducting usability testing) and 3) Supporting software including sample code and drivers, 4) Extensive documentation, and 5) Up to 160 hours of device integration support.
There is a $50,000 NRE charge to cover the costs associated with the components, tools, and technical support provided as part of the program."
$50,000 cost just to test...then what? With add'l component, manufacuting, marketing, sales & delivery costs to intergrate, computer and pda companies will lose price competetiveness. I would think such a unit could add $200-$400 to the retail cost of a computer or pda.
IBIZ's vkb, priced at $99.00 is not only a great price for the consumer, but to computer and pda manufacturers who now won't have to be concerned adding business cost and markup with integrating a costly vkb like Canesta's. The $99.00 price is sweet and leverages a huge competitive advantage.
The Dell's, Gateway's and Apple's many want to offer IBIZ's vkb as a product option if the initial global reaction over the next 45 days catches on like wildfire.

The link MT gave refers to the same patent as this link htt p://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=canesta.ASNM.&OS=AN/canesta&RS=AN/canesta
Canesta's patent was approved Sep 2, 2003. http://www.canesta.com/downloads/patents/USP6614422.pdf
VKB's patent was approved Nov 18, 2003. http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06650318__
It seems to me that the Canesta patent is for the technology to be embedded into devices so that they'll have the virtual keyboard feature instead of relying on conventional keyboards for input. The layout of Canesta's virtual keyboard is also different from VKB's.
VKB is adopting the plug-and-play approach, which IMO is better. It is more versatile in the sense it could be used with virtually any device with an input port.
Also, sound recognition technology is slower (light travels faster than sound), more complex (try using the device on a plane) and harder to implement.
Canesta will need to spend more time in R&D and costs to create a workable model with various companies (like NEC), whereas VKB is independent in its development.
I guess this also explains why VKB has production of the virtual keyboard ahead of Canesta even though it has less funding and R&D backing.
IMO, VKB is more brilliant
To put it simply, Canesta is essentially saying that it invented revolutionary wheels which could only be used for manufacturing cars. VKB, on the other hand is saying they invented similar but even better wheels which could be used on any vehicle which may or may not require wheels.
I could be wrong on this, but based on my computer engineering knowledge, it should be correct to a significant degree.
If anybody has anymore insight into this, please post it

Why is this? I think that the dilution and the natural reduction of value of shares that should follow it has been counteracted by the massive interest in this company because of news coverage and the fact that this thing is just getting started!

And.. for those who feel that IBZT is a big risk, then don't buy. Most of us buy IBZT for its potential growth and market dominance in the near future. Many of us try to give objective inputs on IBZT so that others may have a chance to decide for themselves if IBZT is worth it. Other than that, we have nothing to gain. If you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't.

I found this on another board.... in regardes to the keyboard
This is the article the above link is 2
Laser Keyboard Fosters Sterile Health Care Environment: Eliminates Hand Transfer of Bacteria withTraditional Keyboards
iBIZ Technology Corp. notes the health care industry should consider widespread use of Virtual Keyboards to create a more sterile environment. The Company considers traditional keyboards as common festering places for bacteria to grow and then spread from hand-to-hand. IBIZ states their laser keyboard has no mechanical moving parts thus no places for the bacteria to hide. The flat surface on which their laser is projected can be sprayed with chemical disinfectant after each use. Spraying a traditional keyboard with disinfectant to control spread of bacteria can clog the keyboard making it ineffective. The Company claims that eliminating the use of traditional keyboards, a hands-on tool, will reduce bacteria and the spread of infectious disease.
The iBIZ Virtual Keyboard device leverages the power of laser and infrared technology. By projecting a full size keyboard image onto a flat surface it analyzes what is being typed according to the coordinates of the location. The Virtual Keyboard easily attaches to PCs and PDAs, has its own battery pack, and is the size of a disposable cigarette lighter. The device includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery providing an internal power supply of three to four hours. Compatible with PCs and Laptops, it runs on Windows 98/2000/XP, and most PDAs using Palm or Pocket PC Operating System.
iBIZ is a manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistant (PDA) and hand-held devices
This has great potential...Im sure the medical industry will first wait and try it out to make sure that it is effective.... but if they like it.. wow... thats a world wide renewable market. and if it goes through there I will be much more convinced about it going through in alot of other areas like military and such!
------------------
"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
but really when i made that post it was quoteing from a ibiz news release that said they made more fomr the intial saled of the keyboard on there web site on its first day of sales then in a month of the other products!
I figured that, but it's still good stuff. Because I remember reading a basher commenting on iBIZ numbers claims, saying that "the company is filled with liars, they have no hard data to prove those outrageous claims" or something to that affect. It's nice to see basher's B.S squashed with hard facts!
------------------
"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
We landed on the tip of the iceberg this week. The next 30 to 60 days will literally explode with positive news and projections.

another article I found about ibiz hooking up with another company in some way
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!!! Im guessing its old news and that the gave up on this or something I donno... gonna dig deeper!!
No Chit?! I didn't know that either. Not to sound like a pumper, but if that is true, and it works good, I can only imagine what I'd do with that. No wonder it says it will retail around $250! Man, I can't wait to try these new "toys" myself. I don't have a PDA myself(although I might if the BlueDock does what it says), but I bet anything retailers will have demo's of these things prominently displayed.
I wanna buy some more on Tuesday, any opinions on what the open will be, and what a good buy in price it might get to? Or is this new PR making gonna make it completely unpredictable, even to the brilliant minds of the iBIZ board!? lol

first, let me mention that i first posted an opinion on ibzt in early september and have posted countless times since. i feel my overall opinion has been bullish, tempered by a realistic need to discuss ibzt's ability to compete in the computer tech sector against the big guys. i have had as many as 5.5 m shares of ibzt and still have 2m free shares. i have been playing the beta and also have a large profit on top of my free shares.
i have not re purchased any shares as this stock has retraced from it's recent high. my motive to bring light to other current patented input technology is to bring the following to light:
1) since the first practical affordable keyboard was made available,( remember the old underwood key jammers) the evolution of typing and input devices has never slowed down. the vkb is just another step towards the ultimate input device, direct thought input.
2) vkb has a patented technology, and ibzt has a license to sell the units that use that technology. as hard as i have tried i have been unable to obtain a copy of that agreement. i know ibzt is busy, but they have not responded to my request for the details of the agreement. as a long holder of ibzt, i am interested in what ibzt has the right to do with the technology and what it is able to do and plans to do to keep the vkb on the leading edge of virtual input devices. i think a smart thing would be to offer the components inside of the vkb to be incorporated into future versions of pdas and cell phones etc. it would be interesting to me if ibzt has the legal right to do that. if a virtual keyboard proves to be a popular and functional technology it WILL be incorporated into devices. their future mentioned release of a bluetooth vkb is a step in the right direction.
3) the company is making moves to become debt free and hopefully stronger. however, if ibzt is to build on the projected profits from the vkb and it's other accessories, it will be necessary to funa a much larger staff, perhaps a larger headquarters, and most importantly, head hunt some top notch tech developers and fund a large r&d department. imho this is the key to making ibzt a solid long term play. i think they have a real chance in doing it. i will be watching closely, and will continue to ask for information from the company. this will require profit being pumped back into the company, and almost certainly an increased o/s count.
these are just a few of the reasons that i am being more patient, and less optimistic with high short term share price predictions.
but believe me, i am a strong long unless something makes me change my mind. i also think anything around .04 is a good entry. if all i did was to play long i would be buying more.
anyone with any info on the licensing agreement between vkb and ibzt, please post it. thanks,
uncle milty

If you want to read until your head hurts, here is where it details everything: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1079893/000114420403005570/0001144204-03-005570.txt
To summarize and save you from about a half hour of reading
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 20, 3003, the Board of Directors approved the spin-off of IBIZ, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, into a separate public company.
The Company proposes to issue without consideration non-restricted shares of
common stock in IBIZ, Inc. pro rata to all shareholders of the Company as of
September 25, 2003 at the ratio of one share of IBIZ, Inc. for each 500 shares
of the Company common stock.
The purpose of the spin-off of IBIZ, Inc. is that it will allow management of
each business to focus solely on that business. In addition, it should enhance
access to financing by allowing the financial community to focus separately on
each business.
IBIZ Technology Corp. will continue to distribute its product line in the United
States providing sub-licenses for all products to IBIZ, for worldwide
distribution. IBIZ, Inc. will sign distribution agreements with IBIZ Technology
Corp. for distribution of its products in the United States. IBIZ will support
IBIZ Technology Corp. in engineering, production, and business development,
through synergetic agreements using Endeavour Capital and its affiliates
infrastructure in Europe and Israel.
Current funds available to IBIZ will not be adequate for it to be competitive in
the areas in which it intends to operate. IBIZ's continued operations, as well
as the implementation of its business plan, therefore will depend upon its
ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt
financing. IBIZ estimates that it will need to raise up to approximately
$1,000,000 over the next 12 months for these purposes.
There is no guarantee that these funding sources, or any others, will be
available in the future, or that they will be available on favorable terms. In
addition, this funding amount may not be adequate for IBIZ to fully implement
its business plan. Thus, the ability of IBIZ to continue as a going concern is
dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of IBIZ's business
plan. Regardless of whether IBIZ's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
IBIZ's operational needs, IBIZ might seek to compensate providers of services by
issuance of stock in lieu of cash.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, IBIZ may not be able to
take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures,
any of which could have a negative impact on the business, operating results and
financial condition. In addition, if additional shares were issued to obtain
financing, current shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage
of stock ownership in IBIZ.

iBIZ Technology Corp. Clarifies iBIZ Inc. Spin-Off
11/12/2003 1:29:00 PM
PHOENIX, Nov 12, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. ( IBZT ) issues clarification on the iBIZ Inc. spin-off.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Schilling stated, "In our efforts to acquire new technology and continue to grow iBIZ Technology Corp. (IBZT) without further diluting our shareholders, our board of directors authorized a spin of our wholly owned subsidiary iBIZ Inc. IBZT will not move any of it's current business and or assets to iBIZ Inc. IBIZ Inc. will acquire new technologies from Endeavour Capital AG and in doing so will issue IBZT an exclusive license to add these new products to the IBZT product line up. Our shareholders in IBZT as of the record date September 25th will be issued shares in iBIZ Inc. at a predefined ratio, accordingly, and specifically, for every 500 shares owned in IBZT, each shareholder will receive one freely tradable share in iBIZ Inc. Shares held in IBZT will not be surrendered and or exchanged for iBIZ Inc, shares. The newly issued shares are in addition to the iBZT shares owned. We view this spin-off as an opportunity and an ideal way to not only grow IBZT, but to also have a vehicle to continue to add new technologies to iBIZ Inc. bringing value to IBZT and our shareholders.

I just typed a short novel on my 4 pages of notes I took while listening to Ken's interview of 2-13-04 on "wall street reporter.com" (no spaces of course). And go figure, every word of my post was lost because I timed out....grrrrrr lol
Anyway, I'll maybe post later tonight to summarize it. Bart, you're awesome, but I respectfully disagree. That interview held more sensational information and projections than anything to date.
I would strongly suggest all to listen to the interview, and take notes on every point he makes. I think you'll be very, very pleased. Bo

BTW, Bo, I would have been really interested in reading what you had.

BO. I do not know anything about the wall street reporter article. The report I was refering to was the one at www.msn.com. Article Feb 13 2004 6:25PM ET. Phonenix, Feb 13 PR newswire-firstcall. It says the same thing as we know already! Look forward to reading the wall street reporter article.

Hi Bart thought I'd drop in and see how the happy family is doin. I've been so busy trading this last week, I had no time to look in on you. All these damn consistency problems to deal with you-- know what i mean..LOL
So is it time for me to jump back in this one yet or should i wait a little longer--I don't really have time to read all the thread here so could you just give a quick synopsis?
By the way my wife says a grand on 9ball or 8ball is jesfine wit her---

First is his mention of Circuit City's sales agreement with them. This is a new retailer for IBIZ.
Since 2003, he stated IBIZ has dramtically turned the corner financially. That revenue he is seeing now, is double from last year, and that does not incorporate what is to come. 3/4 of their ENTIRE debt is retired, with the remaining 1/4 of entire debt to be retired be the end of March or April. The best part of this is that this will occur with minimal dilition. He states this fact, along with news and increased revenue will dramatically reflect the SP.
He mentions IBIZ has over 90 products! Quite a number. He broke his product make-up in three classifications: (1) Entertainment, (2) Data Input and (3) Mobile Computing. He goes on to explain the marquee products IBIZ has which leads the way.
In the entertainment expansion card area of PDA/Smartphone field, they offer the FM Radio Card. In the area of Power Cards, IBIZ offers A/C adapters, 12v adapters and USB adapters, all for charging or direct hookup.
IBIZ's Data Input product line include the XELA, which is PALM specific, and of course the VKB. He mentions how this technology has been in development for 5 years, and IBIZ is fortunate to have the exclusive licnce to sell this product GLOBALLY (with the patent holder VKB). His most important announcement was that VKB is coming for Smartphones and cell phones in JUNE! As we have read and understood for the past 6-7 weeks, such technology wouldn't be sold until later this year. A June release is simply sensational news!
He then touches again on the uses for hosptials and school. The reason I bring this up is that in a seperate link I will post a site I found last night from the medical field which introduces and touts the IBIZ VKB as something that will certainly have many advantages in it use in hopsitals and doctors' offices. Word is spreading.
The last classification was the computing aspect, which of course is Bluedock. He calls Bluedock a revolutionary product, which will replace desktop computers "in their entirety." (his words). He mentions the benefits to mobile professionals, which I think believe he sees his words to become a sooner reality. This will be released before the end of the calender year. Can you say Christmas shopping frenzy?
So from, new retailers, to a very positive capital structure report, to his expectation of a dramatic effect on share price in the near term, to a June release of Smart/Cell VKB's!!...and Bluedock's potential, we are the groundfloor investors of something that the tip of the iceberg is just revealing now.
Be well...Bo

I see you're a new member. Welcome
If you have an on-line broker, you can look up all of the company news since late Demember to get you caught up.
With regard to the cell technology, this was something that in the early January news, a late 2004 release was expected. In Ken Shilling's interview (posted above) he states cell/smartphone vkb's in June. The vkb will allow easier data entry in cellphones and in the evergrowing smartphone market. With the advancement of smartphones turning into handheld computers (enter Bluedock at year's end), the cell/smart vkb is a sensational product. Bo
Good group here in evaluating all aspects of companies and their stocks.
Feel free to join in anytime, questions and dd always welcome. I ask questions as much as I offer info. Like anything in life, there's always more that can be learned.

Thank you for your post!
I looked at the 4 links you provided and I may be wrong, but these are actually encouraging technologies which compliment Bluedock, rather than compete with it as was mentioned. Intel is simply an internal chip company, and may be able to provide Bluedock some of Bluedock's internals. Toshiba is talking about exciting pda's and handheld computers as technology shrinks. To me, that plays well for Bluedock. We'd be glad to have a Toshiba handheld linked to Bluedock as well as any other maker.
The more the merrier for us.
The last 2 links involve data storage companies, which although don't compete with Bluedock, does again confirm how technology is shrinking, and again, this will play right into Bluedock's hands. Great dd on Bluedock potential. Be well, Bo

MT's post is correct.
I checked it out and indeed, Canesta's patent is extremely similar to VKB's. However, it is a different technology. Canesta utilizes sound sensors to calculate the distance between the impact point and the sensor to determine which key has been struck whereas VKB uses CMOS sensors to determine which laser grid has been "broken" to determine which input is relevant.
In essence, if you use Canesta's device, you'll have to strike the surface pretty hard or the sound sensor won't pick it up. I think people will start suing Canesta for sore fingers
The link MT gave refers to the same patent as this link htt p://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=canesta.ASNM.&OS=AN/canesta&RS=AN/canesta
Canesta's patent was approved Sep 2, 2003. http://www.canesta.com/downloads/patents/USP6614422.pdf
VKB's patent was approved Nov 18, 2003. http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06650318__
It seems to me that the Canesta patent is for the technology to be embedded into devices so that they'll have the virtual keyboard feature instead of relying on conventional keyboards for input. The layout of Canesta's virtual keyboard is also different from VKB's.
VKB is adopting the plug-and-play approach, which IMO is better. It is more versatile in the sense it could be used with virtually any device with an input port.
Also, sound recognition technology is slower (light travels faster than sound), more complex (try using the device on a plane) and harder to implement.
Canesta will need to spend more time in R&D and costs to create a workable model with various companies (like NEC), whereas VKB is independent in its development.
I guess this also explains why VKB has production of the virtual keyboard ahead of Canesta even though it has less funding and R&D backing.
IMO, VKB is more brilliant
To put it simply, Canesta is essentially saying that it invented revolutionary wheels which could only be used for manufacturing cars. VKB, on the other hand is saying they invented similar but even better wheels which could be used on any vehicle which may or may not require wheels.
I could be wrong on this, but based on my computer engineering knowledge, it should be correct to a significant degree.
If anybody has anymore insight into this, please post it
Quoting Bart, "Eat monster(s) EAT!!!!"
LOL I figure I need to give Bart, and Neo a lil break! LOL I ain't kidding though, it has been a veeerrrryyyyy sloooooowwwww work morning for me.
From what I can tell, this is supposed to come out in some Nokia phones (series 9200) the early part of this year. Symbian provides the Operating System for the phones and is partering with Canesta in this.
I just contacted Nokia and they've never heard of the projection keyboard technology! I think Canesta is just blowing smoke!
I had a post before this (or thought I did). It pointed out that Canesta doesn't sell to end users nor are they a public traded company. They do not seem to have any of their components for their projection keyboard out on the market. Nor did I see any evidence that they were about to.

Better yet, why don't about 20-30 of you "high rollers" slip me about 2K of your shares! Come on what's 2K between thread mates!? hahaha LMAO
BASHERS WILL FEAR LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Scene from the boiler room:
Basher Boss; Boys, we don't seem to be making any headway in dropping the shareprice of IBZT, despite tripling our efforts and bringing in our best scumbags, WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON??????????????????
Basher no. 9 speaking for the gang; Hey boss I hate to have to tell you this, but a littlebirdie is wiping the floor with us, the guy is phenomenal, he don't lose his cool, he stays focused, and worst of all he don't fall for our games, basically he is killing us with the truth, and you know boss, if we can't spread our lies, we just don't have a chance, hey boss I want a transfer back to IVOC, this IBZT is just too hard to bash, and with that new superhero 'LITTLEBIRDIE', we just dont' stand a chance!
Basher Boss; Oh scheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit, maybe we had better hire more bashers and try to flood the board, you know don't let the truth have a chance, just post and post and post, GET CONTROL OF THAT BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Basher No 17; I don't know boss, maybe we should just give up?, that stock looks like it's unstoppable and the interest is beyond extreme, there is no way to control the board, unless you want to hire 500 more bashers, and even then I think THE EXTREME INTEREST & the LITTLEBIRDIE and his dagnab truth is going to still shine through, and continue to kick our azz, I want to transfer too boss, either that or I'm quitting, to tell you truth boss, I think were swimming upstream on this one, my hearts just not it in and I think the rest of the boys feel the same way, in fact I think I'm going to do what some of them have already done, I'm tired of being a brokedick basher, I'm buying IBZT on Tuesday morning. I QUIT BOSS, I'M TIRED OF BEING STUPID!!!!!!!
Basher boss; How much did you say IBZT is going for now?

Anyway, just wanted to fill you in on information I read while surfing through all my sites today.
Apparently IBZT is trading up on the Berlin Exchange 17.5% today.
Yipee!!
I'm looking for greater days ahead.
Oh, by the way Bart, you are keeping me sane through this rollercoaster ride!
Chickie: I hope I do not bust your bubble. On the Berlin Exchange the 17.5% is very questionable. For this reason; go to HOOTER page 4 of this thread posted 03 Feb 2004 at 09:24AM "IBZT up 46% on German Exchange". That day 3 Feb 04 IBZT was down .0055 here in the states! I for one hope that 17.5% is accurate but if 03 Feb is any clue then it is not. Sorry, hope I am wrong. Thank you for saying I keep you sane as for me this thing has just about drove me nuts. Eat MONSTERS Eat. I looooooove IBZT.
as my wife heard from this virtual keyboard she told me ... this is a MUST-BUY ! ... because she hates the my old dirty keyboard. She always tried to clean it, but it isn't possible..if you know what I mean...the dirt is at all places on and between the keys. But if there will be (next time) the possiblility to buy a keyboard which one's only virtual on my desk....then there will be no further problems to clean it (the desk !) :-)))
So I hope this new VKB will work well otherwise I will become problems with my wife ;-)))
B(u)ye !
just remember, ibzt was being called washed up less than 2 months ago when i was buying in the .0022-.0025 range. currently it is up almost 2000% and was up 4000% at it's short lived peak. there is great potential here, and i am not selling my free shares unless ken doesn't capitalize on this brilliant chance to become a recognized brand name. but in the mean time a good open thread and open minds will help us make better decisions.
my point is, it is good to be bullish, but it is also good to be a realist and protect your position, by taking some back off of the table. free shares have made me a mint. they will here too.

On the future of PCs and the blueDock I've enclosed some OT links into some of the technologies emerging that could affect the BlueDock. Will PCs go with the dinosours? Maybe not this year but everything WILL and I repeat WILL get smaller, faster, more powerful and more mobile. The BlueDock appears to be the first prototype of this type of evolution. The first link has to do with Intels new transistor technology, The second is about Hard drives about the size of a quarter, The third is a recordable optical media (Imation)about the size of a quarter (20Gig). The last is one that investors may wish to keep in the back of their heads. InPhase is a spinoff co. of Lucent Tech working on Holographic media (100GB+ on a standard size CD)All these can affect the future of the PC, the PDA, and the laptop. If a PDA can do the same functions as a laptop but is the size of a large wallet(nice analogy) why tote around a large, heavy, fragile laptop? And yes I know a PDA can't do what a laptop does.......YET! http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20011126tech.htm http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114180,00.asp http://www.imation.com/en_US/product.jhtml?Id=IM_FAM110 http://www.inphase-technologies.com/

If you are in this to make a fast buck you may see a hype spike here and there, however the real money will be in long-term success of this company. With the talent and ingenuity this company has displayed with the current and planned offerings the sky will be the limit. I really do not care about pumpers, bashers, or crybabies. When I purchase a stock long term it is based on the predicted health of the company. If I want to buy into a company that is already healthy it is gonna cost more than a dime per share and will not have the possibility to return 10,000% over the next 18-24 months. I do in fact hope that along the way hype forces the stock to fluctuate so I can take short-term free shares. If short term run from .05 up to $1.00 is your game you batter find another player. This is just my opinion but think it through, you can make a lot more short term gains playing "PR heavy stocks"

The last time she needed a refill, was days preceding GXFZ's new site release. Diligent dd was building on the stock, and the company already had a working website, but a new one was anticipated to be released in early February. The more anticipation, the more crazed the wording in her posts got. (all negative and beyond speculative). She was posting so much, and failing over and over at attempts of poetic prose, she finally cracked and called them a paper company. I increased my holdings immediately..lol I sense the good luck factor in all of this. Two or 3 days later, the new site was released, stock price more than doubled and now is settling in for long term growth. To my knowledge she hasn't posted there much, if at all since..lol She wrongly defined a paper company for me. I let it slide and enjoyed my gains....waiting for this moment.

(I luv ya Purl, honest. You make me

welcome new members??? i hope you are hearing an echo. YOU HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE SINCE FEB 5TH AND YOUR 19 POSTS ARE TO CHEER LEAD IBZT. i for one believe in an honest forum with verifiable dd and a track record. i have posted over 1000 times more than you and i think newbies and veterans here have done well at least considering what i post.
IT IS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THAT THE CANESTA ISSUE HAS BEEN PUT TO REST THAT THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
readers, please carefully read the following and i would suggest pulling out a simple calculator to run some simple calculations. you don't need a computer engineering calculator. read the following article and divide those millions invested in canesta just before ibzt became the last keyboard king by ibzt's share price at the time of the pr, lets say .0025.--------now let's see, what was that o/s count for ibzt?this is simple math. keep it handy as you might want to compare how much slower the speed of sound is compared to the speed of light over a distance of inches. especially when finger speed is the log jam here anyway. you have two bees in a box on a turtles back and you are wondering which bee is going to cross the finish line first? i also thought the part about suing for sore fingers because users would have to type so hard was quite humorous. i could enlist the help of any musician using simple microphone technology to tell you tapping fingers could be made to sound like the san francisco earthquake. but you would soon see that this is a much different and precise technology than what has been around since early radio days.
decide for yourselves if this canesta issue is insignificant or not. also please note the names of the people who have to date invested in canesta. intel investments? does bill gates think they are washed up? jp morgan? who the f is he? been around longer than 19 posts id guess or 2 weeks at least. does anyone suspect why these two might be interested in canesta and it's 25 patents?
once again, i remain cautiously optimistic that i will make much more than i already have with my ibzt investment. but there are allot of variables out there and i intend to keep my head out of the sand. i think most of you who have read my posts in the past know i am neither a pumper or a basher. i think a successful investor, has to be thorough and open minded. question everything you read here including what i write and dig or be buried.

CANESTA RAISES $16 MILLION
Venrock Leads Investment in First Company with Electronic perception Technology; Other Investors include Carlyle Venture partners, intel Capital, J.P. Morgan Partners, and Korea Global IT Fund™
SAN JOSE, CA – December 16, 2003 – Canesta Inc., the leading provider of electronic perception technology, announced today that it has raised $16 million. This new round, led by Venrock Associates, brings the total investment in the company to $36.3 million. Other investors include Carlyle Venture Partners, Intel Capital, J. P. Morgan Partners, and Korea Global IT Fund (KGIF).
This announcement comes in advance of the first commercial availability of projection keyboard accessories in the first half of 2004. Moreover, in September a prototype projection keyboard accessory, which is based on Canesta’s first generation electronic perception technology chipset, was displayed in the Sony Corporation booth at the World PC Expo in Tokyo; and in early October, the world’s first public demonstration of the next generation of electronic perception technology took place at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
“Canesta is one of the few companies in today’s market that is truly introducing something revolutionary,” said Tony Sun, managing general partner of Venrock, who joins Canesta’s board of directors with this recent round. “We are very excited to help build this breakthrough company.”
Canesta’s electronic perception technology is the world’s first low cost, chip-based technology that enables everyday devices to see and react with the environment around them. It does so by electronically forming true three-dimensional moving images in a special sensor chip, and providing interpretations of these images to devices such as cell phones, PDAs, automobiles, or security systems. The first products to use electronic perception technology are mobile devices with projection keyboards. Additionally, Canesta is working with numerous partners in the automotive, security, and other markets to apply the technology much more broadly over the next few years. Canesta, a fabless semiconductor company focused exclusively on electronic perception, has filed nearly 40 patents surrounding its various breakthrough technologies. Seven of these patents have been granted so far.
”The potential of both the projection keyboard and the broad array of other products that can result from a technology that ‘enables everyday devices to see’ is enormous,” said Allan Thygesen, managing director of The Carlyle Group and member of Canesta’s board of directors. “Electronic perception technology is important because it can be applied broadly, sight-enabling even inexpensive, consumer-oriented devices, as well as a wide range of instruments, equipment, vehicles, and machines. This is a contrast to today's complex and generally poor-performing vision systems that are expensive, large, and require a substantial amount of computing power.”
According to Nazim Kareemi, Canesta’s president and CEO, “We set out to solve a very hard technical problem which, in the long term, will change the way computers and other devices interact with the world. The first commercial products using our technology will be available next year and we are very pleased with the support we have received from our investors and customers.”
Moreover, Kareemi explained, some of the key early markets for Canesta’s products are in Asia where much of the manufacturing of cell phones, PDA’s, and computers takes place. “In addition to the vision our investors have shown, we are very pleased with their assistance in building relationships with our Asian partners.”
About Canesta
Canesta is the inventor of a revolutionary, low-cost electronic perception technology that enables ordinary electronic devices to perceive and react to nearby objects or individuals in real time. When sight-enabled with Canesta's unique electronic perception chips and software, consumer, automotive, industrial, military, and medical products will gain functionality and ease of use not possible in an era when electronics were blind. The first application of electronic perception technology is the Canesta Keyboard Perception Chipset™. The chipset is the foundation for the projection keyboard. When integrated into cell phones, PDAs, or an accessory device, the image of a keyboard is projected onto a nearby flat surface, and then a sensor “reads” the finger movements of a user who types on that image. Canesta's electronic perception technology resolves the user's finger movements in real time into keystrokes electronically provided to the device.
Canesta believes future applications of electronic perception technology are virtually as broad as the imagination. They may include intelligent automobile airbag systems that can sense the size and position of an occupant to control deployment and avoid injury, a low-false-alarm security system that could detect the difference between an intruder and normal activity, such as a pet moving or child visiting the bathroom at night, or video and virtual reality games that would have no mechanical input whatsoever. The game would "see" the player and reacts to his actions.
To date, Canesta has announced customers including NEC Corporation and Advanced Input Devices. Canesta was founded in April 1999, and is located in San Jose, CA. The company has filed in excess of forty patents, seven of which have been granted so far. Investment to date exceeds $36 million, from Apax Partners, Carlyle Venture Partners, Intel Capital, JP Morgan Partners, Korea Global IT Fund (KGIF), TechFund Capital, Thales Corporate Ventures, and Venrock Associates.

MT's post is correct.
I checked it out and indeed, Canesta's patent is extremely similar to VKB's. However, it is a different technology. Canesta utilizes sound sensors to calculate the distance between the impact point and the sensor to determine which key has been struck whereas VKB uses CMOS sensors to determine which laser grid has been "broken" to determine which input is relevant.
In essence, if you use Canesta's device, you'll have to strike the surface pretty hard or the sound sensor won't pick it up. I think people will start suing Canesta for sore fingersThe link MT gave refers to the same patent as this link htt p://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=canesta.ASNM.&OS=AN/canesta&RS=AN/canesta
Canesta's patent was approved Sep 2, 2003. http://www.canesta.com/downloads/patents/USP6614422.pdf
VKB's patent was approved Nov 18, 2003. http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06650318__It seems to me that the Canesta patent is for the technology to be embedded into devices so that they'll have the virtual keyboard feature instead of relying on conventional keyboards for input. The layout of Canesta's virtual keyboard is also different from VKB's.
VKB is adopting the plug-and-play approach, which IMO is better. It is more versatile in the sense it could be used with virtually any device with an input port.
Also, sound recognition technology is slower (light travels faster than sound), more complex (try using the device on a plane) and harder to implement.Canesta will need to spend more time in R&D and costs to create a workable model with various companies (like NEC), whereas VKB is independent in its development.
I guess this also explains why VKB has production of the virtual keyboard ahead of Canesta even though it has less funding and R&D backing.
IMO, VKB is more brilliant
To put it simply, Canesta is essentially saying that it invented revolutionary wheels which could only be used for manufacturing cars. VKB, on the other hand is saying they invented similar but even better wheels which could be used on any vehicle which may or may not require wheels.I could be wrong on this, but based on my computer engineering knowledge, it should be correct to a significant degree.
If anybody has anymore insight into this, please post it

The press release concerning Canesta certainly isn't news. I feel both long time posters and new members have brought up excellent technical points to clarify this issue. It matters not the number of posts when sharing knowledge. I'm glad "PL" gave us his insight. For here, I'll discuss the point of competitive advantages as there really isn't much left to discuss on this issue currently.
Your point of competitiveness between Canesta (who has no product to market yet) and IBIZ, is similar in some ways to XMSR vs SIRI. Both have the same base service, but XMSR's development and marketing beat SIRI by one year. Currently, XMSR leads SIRI in every many aspects of business, including share price. Competition is good.
Being first to market is even better.
I could go on about many other aspects of this business (Marketing, media exposure, logistics), all of which IBIZ has the clear advantage, but I'll touch on portability ad price and keep it short.
I love the portability of the VKB. Being able to switch from your PC, to PDA to handheld PC is a great advantage to any user and especially mobile professionals. Plus, the VKB will allow us to keep our existing equipment for it's use, versus having to replace hardware with an integrated unit like Canesta.
This coincides well with the low cost of the IBIZ unit. $99.00 is a great price. The high cost of Canesta's integrated board would would be eaten by the hardware manufacturers and passed on to the consumer. The high costs to the manufacturer and technical concerns have been well discussed here in previous posts.
Portability and lower costs to all are two clear competitive advantages.
Having competition is part of doing business. Being first to market and carving out a global position in the industry is where I want to be. Be well. Bo

i use the name old mullet to signify that in a species that has lots of predators and a short lifespan i have made it through over 35 years of investing and have prospered doing it. it came from thorough, cautious investing and diversity. i hope if newcomers take anything from my posts it is this.
i am always skeptical of new members who are singular in their topics and are not open to facts that are being posted, instead making baseless claims to discredit solid dd.
ibzt was a 30 dollar stock 4 years ago and went to the brink of extinction with an ever increasing o/s. i think there have been some very good beginnings to a reversal of that trend. but they are just that-- beginnings. the first keyboards are yet to be delivered. they are not alone nor do they have an infinite edge on the niche markets they deal in. there is a yet unverified agreement with the patent holder, vkb to sell the vkb. what else does that include? ibzt does not hold the patent. so i hope they have a good deal with vkb.
maybe my posts aren't doing anything to drive this stock up, but at the end of the day, i don't want to feel some newbie bought shares i sold by discussing a stock in less than a thorough open manner.
ibzt can go up or down, or cycle sideways as i predicted it would at the time of the big run. i am betting that it will go up, but do not have nearly enough information to say how quickly. i have seen this scenario too often. a step at a time. lets get those keyboards out in customers hands and see how they like them. you can bet there will be plenty of opinion as soon as they are out there.

My posts are not addressed to you, but to anyone who wants to read it.
I am glad that at least Bo and a few others found my Canesta post useful. However, if anybody thinks that what I am posting is just plain junk, please let me know and I'll gladly stop posting from now on.
I think any average kid would know that the speed of sound is approximately 340m/s whereas the speed of light is 30000000m/s.
For the benefit of other readers, and NOT for you alone, I'll explain.
Canesta's product depends on sound input to determine its position. First, it'll have to wait for the sensor to pick up the sound waves and then determine its position through calculating the distance between the origin of the sound waves and the sensor. Sound waves are not as clear cut in calculation as light waves. Any sound source could create interference waves and therefore affect the sensor's accuracy. I am almost certain that if one is to use the Canesta's keyboard on an airplane, it would not work. IF you don't tap hard enough for the sensor to pick up the sound, it might not even recognize it. Tell me, tapping hard at every key you enter for oh.. lets say 30 mins... will your old fingers get sore, mullet? After determining the position, it has to match the distance calculated with an input array before finally determining which input character is relevant and then send that character to output.
VKB's keyboard uses lasers, which is oh.. only about close to 1 million times faster than sound. When the finger breaks the laser grid, it'll be picked up by the CMOS sensor, and directly matches it with the input character for output. This is the case due to the fact that every grid can be preprogrammed to match every character or command. In computer engineering terms, it acts as an "Interrupt". Every key grid is independent, and any break in the grid creates an interrupt and immediately the process to send the corresponding letter to output is achieved. Its kind of like the motion sensors used in security systems. You break the laser's pathway, an alarm sounds. Thus, input and output is almost instantaneous. On top of that, you do not need to worry about fuzzy logic calculations for sound waves as light waves are almost as simple as 1 and 0. 0 for off, 1 for on. You break the grid, it's on. You don't break the grid, it's off. Less variables, more accuracy. If one argues that there are interference waves for light as well and that will also affect accuracy in the CMOS sensor, I have to agree. But to create that magnitude of interference, one will have to create magnetic waves strong enough to bend light such that the grid sensors are out of sync. If that happens, I seriously doubt that any electronic appliance in your home will even work.
If you disagree with what I am saying mullet, go get a PH.D in computer engineering before posting another message on the technical aspects of the virtual keyboard.
I hope my post will benefit other readers.

light not only can be bent, but could be frozen. That's the basis for the theory of quantum computers.

Scientists Bring Light to Full Stop, Hold It, Then Send It on Its Way

esearchers say they have slowed light to a dead stop, stored it and then released it as if it were an ordinary material particle.
The achievement is a landmark feat that, by reining in nature's swiftest and most ethereal form of energy for the first time, could help realize what are now theoretical concepts for vastly increasing the speed of computers and the security of communications.
Two independent teams of physicists have achieved the result, one led by Dr. Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard University and the Rowland Institute for Science in Cambridge, Mass., and the other by Dr. Ronald L. Walsworth and Dr. Mikhail D. Lukin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, also in Cambridge.
Light normally moves through space at 186,000 miles a second. Ordinary transparent media like water, glass and crystal slow light slightly, an effect that causes the bending of light rays that allows lenses to focus images and prisms to produce spectra.
Using a distantly related but much more powerful effect, the Walsworth-Lukin team first slowed and then stopped the light in a medium that consisted of specially prepared containers of gas. In this medium, the light became fainter and fainter as it slowed and then stopped. By flashing a second light through the gas, the team could essentially revive the original beam.
The beam then left the chamber carrying nearly the same shape, intensity and other properties it had when it entered. The experiments led by Dr. Hau achieved similar results with closely related techniques.
"Essentially, the light becomes stuck in the medium, and it can't get out until the experimenters say so," said Dr. Seth Lloyd, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is familiar with the work.
Dr. Lloyd added, "Who ever thought that you could make light stand still?"
He said the work's biggest impact could come in futuristic technologies called quantum computing and quantum communication. Both concepts rely heavily on the ability of light to carry so-called quantum information, involving particles that can exist in many places or states at once.
Quantum computers could crank through certain operations vastly faster than existing machines; quantum commmunications could never be eavesdropped upon. For both these systems, light is needed to form large networks of computers. But those connections are difficult without temporary storage of light, a problem that the new work could help solve.
A paper by Dr. Walsworth, Dr. Lukin and three collaborators — Dr. David Phillips, Annet Fleischhauer and Dr. Alois Mair, all at Harvard- Smithsonian — is scheduled to appear in the Jan. 29 issue of Physical Review Letters.
Citing restrictions imposed by the journal Nature, where her report is to appear, Dr. Hau refused to discuss her work in detail.
Two years ago, however, Nature published Dr. Hau's description of work in which she slowed light to about 38 miles an hour in a system involving beams of light shone through a chilled sodium gas.
Dr. Walsworth and Dr. Lukin mentioned Dr. Hau's new work in their paper, saying she achieved her latest results using a similarly chilled gas. Dr. Lukin cited her earlier work, which Dr. Hau produced in collaboration with Dr. Stephen Harris of Stanford University, as the inspiration for the new experiments.
Those experiments take the next step, stopping the light's propagation completely.
"We've been able to hold it there and just let it go, and what comes out is the same as what we sent in," Dr. Walsworth said. "So it's like a freeze frame."
Dr. Walsworth, Dr. Lukin and their team slowed light in a gas form of rubidium, an alkaline metal element.
The deceleration of the light in the rubidium differed in several ways from how light slows through an ordinary lens. For one thing, the light dimmed as it slowed through the rubidium.
Another change involved the behavior of atoms in the gas, which developed a sort of impression of the slowing wave.
This impression, actually consisting of patterns in a property of the atoms called their spin, was a kind of record of the light's passing and was enough to allow the experimenters to revive or reconstitute the original beam.
Both Dr. Hau's original experiments on slowing light, and the new ones on stopping it, rely on a complex phenomenon in certain gases called electromagnetically induced transparency, or E.I.T.
This property allows certain gases, like rubidium, that are normally opaque to become transparent when specially treated.
For example, rubidium would normally absorb the dark red laser light used by Dr. Walsworth and his colleagues, because rubidium atoms are easily excited by the frequency of that light.
But by shining a second laser, with a slightly different frequency, through the gas, the researchers rendered it transparent.
The reason is that the two lasers create the sort of "beat frequency" that occurs when two tuning forks simultaneously sound slightly different notes.
The gas does not easily absorb that frequency, so it allows the light to pass through it; that is, the gas becomes transparent.
But another property of the atoms, called their spin, is still sensitive to the new frequency. Atoms do not actually spin but the property is a quantum-mechanical effect analagous to a tiny bar magnet that can be twisted by the light.
As the light passes through, it alters those spins, in effect flipping them. Though the gas remains transparent, the interaction serves as a friction or weight on the light, slowing it.
Using that technique, Dr. Hau and Dr. Harris in the earlier experiment slowed light to a crawl. But they could not stop it, because the transparent "window" in the gas became increasingly narrower, and more difficult to pass through, as the light moved slower and slower.
In a recent theoretical advance, Dr. Lukin, with Dr. Suzanne Yelin of Harvard-Smithsonian and Dr. Michael Fleischhauer of the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany, discovered a way around this constraint.
They suggested waiting for the beam to enter the gas container, then smoothly reducing the intensity of the second beam.
The three physicists calculated that this procedure would narrow the window, slowing the first beam, but also "tune" the system so that the beam always passes through.
The first beam, they theorized, should slow to an infinitesimally slow speed, finally present only as an imprint on the spins, with no visible light remaining. Turning the second beam back on, they speculated, should reconstitute the first beam.
The new experiments bore those ideas out.
"The light is actually brought to a stop and stored completely in the atoms," Dr. Harris said. "There's no other way to do that. It's been done — done very convincingly, and beautifully."

maybe i need a more detailed understanding but the mind boggling technology i can buy for under 100 dollars, like gps which can tell me where i am and how fast i'm moving in which direction from outerspace gives me faith when intel is interested so am i, or at least i take notice. i understand the differences in these technologies. sound vs radio vs light.
i'd bet there were some tests of wpm counts done with both technologies. also since this is going to be for the vast majority of users, a visual instead of tactile keyboard. i would doubt a 60 wpm typist would achieve the same speed on a virtual keyboard. at least not yet.
kudos on your background, and thanks for your response. i found it very interesting and helpful. i am sorry if you took offence at my questioning your technical expertise. i am possibly all wet in the above calculations, but i am in good company if i am. bill gates. both of these technologies are yet to be proven in the public's hands and in various scenarios. in the mean time, since this is stock discussion dealing investments i will continue to try to add information as i find it.
i think we both want to see ibzt go up, and i don't disagree that ibzt has great potential. but since it seems to like the .04-.05 channel for now, i believe there is much more involved here than an issue of which virtual keyboard might be viable or not. ibzt themselves are quite aware of the risks and their tenuous position in the tech sector and with their license to sell the vkb technology.
i suggest all read the 10ksb to see what you all think of it. please notice the caveats at the beginning and the bonuses and 25 % ownership of ibzt common shares by shilling and perkins, toward the end. nobody is better positioned for an increased share price than them. this 10ksb left me with many questions. and i found no definitive info re the license agreement with vkb. i really would be interested.
pl, my low buy was .0022. i don't remember it hitting .0015 since i have been trading it. and i sold all of the way from ~ .009 to .08 to generate free shares and take profit. i am a formula trader. i am not smart enough to make a consistant profit otherwise.
peace and prosperity.

What is happening is not freezing light
but rather creating a switch which blocks
or allows passage of light based upon
harmonic frequencies; an on-off switch.
At one point, the author indicated previously
injected light is bumped out by injection of
additional light. This is inertia transfer,
which has nothing to do with "freezing."
This concept is easily exemplified during
the course of a game of billiards.
Nonetheless, the reporter's writing is
lacking technical correctness.

Can you do this or is it you and others
have twisted my words into something I
did not write, along with some urging
others to harass me?
Twisting the words of another, is this
not classic deceit? Is deceit a good
basis for stock research and investment?
My personal perspective is those who
practice deceit and urge harassment
of others, lack any credibility.

Subject: PLEASE respond to these shareholder concerns
To: ken@ibizcorp.com
Dear Mr. Schilling:
I am a currect stockholder of IBZT. I've sent emails
all over the globe trying to get answers to some very
basic questions regarding iBIZ, all to no avail. I
finally decided to go straight to the top for answers
-- that means asking you, the CEO.
There is a tremendous amount of conflicting
information being passed around regarding the Virtual
Keyboard and the spinoff of iBIZ. I would deeply
appreciate it if you would answer a few simple
questions that will put an end to all misinformation.
1. Is it true that shipment of the Virtual Keyboards
cannot occur until after the SEC/NASD approves the
spinoff company?
2. Will revenue from the Virtual Keyboard and the Blue
Dock go to iBIZ Technology (IBZT) or to the spinoff
company?
3. Is there any plan in place to reduce the number of
oustanding shares of IBZT? If so, what is it? (For
what it's worth, I personally am NOT opposed to a
reverse split; in fact, I FAVOR it unless there is a
buy-back of 2 billion shares instead.)
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
I realize this is an extremely busy time for you, but
I have not been able to get ANY response to my
questions from anyone else, and therefore had no
choice but to contact you directly. Thank you again,
and I wish you much success.
Sincerely yours,

XXXXXXXXXX,
It is quite obvious you need to stay off the message boards. Normally, I would not respond to these types of e-mails, however, this time I'll make an exception. Answers follow. Thank you for your interest and again, I would urge you to stay off the message boards as there is only lies, deceit
and misconceptions there.
Best Regards,
Ken Schilling
1. Absolutely not and whomever you got this information from is gravely misinformed.
2. All revenue from both products go to IBZT as well as all the other products we currently produce.
3. There is no current plan to do a reverse split. In this regard specifically, if we moved to a larger more reputable exchange, it would be their direction and not ours if it were decided to do a reverse of some type.
Again, thank you for your interest and as stated above, don't believe anything you read on the message boards. Raging Bull is the worst.
No cash.
Multi-millions in losses each year.
Accumulated debt approaching twenty-five million.
Continued planned intense dilution of value to
stay afloat.
Company officers awarded big cash payments for
those generated losses.
Assuming a price of one-hundred dollars per
laser keyboard, how many keyboards must sell
to move Ibiz into black ink? What net profit
per keyboard is needed to reverse losses?
Why are company officers being rewarded for
creating continued losses?
I continue to wait for someone to cite a
reference which clearly displays my clear
prediction of bankruptcy by Ibiz.
Certainly some of you are learning I am not
the shrinking violet you assume me to be and
are learning, if you do not quote me in a
truthful manner, I will highlight your
attempts at deceit.

Did Rocket Man question Schilling about those
obvious contradictions in his wording?
Purl Gurl
This links for which you ask, are SEC filings
made by Ibiz. You really consult those filings.
Price dropping? Yes, continued dilution as
I have stated would happen, many times. This
is nothing astounding. Ibiz itself verifies
an intent to continue with dilution to keep
Ibiz itself afloat. Ibiz has no choice.
Bart, you are contradicting yourself. Many
times you have tried to force me to leave
threads, many times you have tried to censor
my opinions. Now you are stating I am a liar
and urging others to not leave.
You really need to walk the talk if you
are to impress me.
Purl Gurl
sometimes i think i spend too much time here trying to get investors to look at anything that doesn't favor their position. even when i have one of the largest positions on most threads. the majority on any thread have a vested interest in a stock and maybe i am just being too objective for the general flow. maybe i am calling out NARC when they are content being high on their perspective. i think maybe i will visit another site more often that i recently started posting on that encourages thorough dd. the site was started by a couple of former allstocks members that had good track records. actually, i believe i saw you posting there wooter.
later, guitar class shortly. teaching guitar makes stocks seem simple. hope you had as good a day as i had. fnix on the charge again. another symbian partner.

Ya'll folks argue for no reason. Just let time decide of what will become of IBZT. If you're scare, then go ahead and sell ur shares. If you're not scare, then stay to see what happen.
Everyone post there predictions for the following time periods and we will let time deliver the truth.
1. 1 month
2. 3 months
3. 8 months
4. 1 year
5. 2 years
6. 5 years
We all know the chances of predictiing this perfectly is slim but lets put our predictions on paper!

I don't know you. I seem to like to get along with everyone. I see you've been posting about a month, and at the begining it looked like it was going to have another good DD person aboard. But lately, it seems you are slamming many people and are posting things that are not true or that don't make sense. To do your DD on IBZT you must spend HOURS researching many items. This is a co. that has been brought back from the DEAD! Will it make it to heaven? Only time will tell. You need to learn the good, bad and the ugly about this company and its past - and I think you may come to realize that there is now more good than bad, and the only thinkugly is the OS, which the CEO has said a few times, that when they can AFFORD to, they want to initiate a share buyback.
#1 - Rocket Scientist isn not my friend. I don't know him/her. I stated that I'
ve read his posts for months and have never seen this person post anything that seemed shady or dishonest.
#2 - I don't thing the CEO's reply was arrogant or condescending at all - He spoke the truth. MOST message boards, this one being a BIG exception, are trashy and are filled with lies and garbage unrelated to the stock on the thread. I think he was warning the writer to be careful of what they read on boards and take heed.
Right now, I have nothing against you - but I hope you'll do a little DD and homework on this stock before you start making outlandish statements.
Good luck to you and all!

This quote is a good example of what i am trying to tell ALL OF YOU politely
SIRI and XMSR have ALMOST IDENTICAL MARKET CAPS --XM is not ahead of SIRI period----
they are both in the subscription service game--they have satellites in SPACE for god sakes and their system WORKS--IBZT has yet to deliver one VKB off a production line-- BE PATIENT --please--it can go up but it won't go up much BEFORE the stuff is in the stores and jumping off the shelf and NOT BEING RETURNED
1st month - Rise up to about $0.20
3rd months - Rise to about to $0.50
8th months - Bounce back and forth between $0.30 and $0.50
1st year - Around $1.00
2nd years - Around $2.00
5th years - Around $15.00
And the keyboard only got alphabet and numbers, there are no Print Screen, or ESC, or anything else... Not too many PDA users out there either... Alot of desktop and laptop users though, but desktop and laptop users need like a full 101 keys type of keyboard to fully access their system...
Just to add on the little science lesson I missed, what if...all matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration, that we are all of one consciousness, in of itself so objectively, there's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.

"A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying "Damn, that was fun!"
I bought mine at 0.0505... So you're still doing better than me bud... But this IBZT keep going back and forth between $0.04 and $0.05 now... So u might as well stay with what you got to save all them broker's commissions...
Your one month and two month projection
cannot be right based on info from Ibiz.
Prices will not rise with continued dilution.
I expect dilution to continue beyond what
Ibiz has confirmed. Ibiz has virtually no
revenue and less cash than in my pocketbook.
They have no choice but to dilute to stay
afloat and avoid bankruptcy via deliquent
payments on loans and any taxes due.
Their accumulated deficit of now over a
good twenty-four-million, will certainly
discourage new lending, save for those
who specialize in toxic lending. Their
current working capital deficit of over
six-million, toss that in, you have the
makings for toxic lending, a takeover,
liquidation and eventual bankruptcy.
What is supporting prices now is pure hype.
Investors are not buying in based on known
facts nor company performance. Investors
are buying in because of Cargo Cult Hype.
Once investors realize prices will and are
falling because of dilution, once this really
lousy 10Q filing soaks in, perspective will
quickly change possibly leading to a sudden
condition of panic selling.
I do not know panic selling will take place
but as I said about bankruptcy, most if not
all of the precursors exist, for bankruptcy
as they do for future panic selling.
Inability to recover from debt, no revenue,
toxic lending, bankruptcy, I do not know
any of those events will come to past but
do know circumstances are ripe for this.

Go to your on-line broker's site and closely read the news for IBZT from December 2003 to the present. Take notes and follow up on your own for clarification and support of any conclusions you reach.
Next, go to the beginning of this site (it's decent enough) and read through the posts to gain further perspective.
Like many who may or may not chose to post, your common sense will guide you in spotting salient points. It will also serve you to determine the credibility of the postname. You can look up the posting history of postnames to view their credibility (or lack their of) and digest it accordingly in the future when you read their posts.
As you go through the process, you can determine based on your own common sense and risk level, what opportunity lies ahead for the company and how you perceive this to be reflected in thier future stock price.
I gathered some good info today, but post when the dust settles some.
The only point I wish to add is the mention of the 10k report. For new investors and those looking into IBIZ for the first time, answer these 2 questions for yourself: What are the dates of the 10k report? Do these dates and the 10k report reflect the activities of IBIZ Technology since December 30, 2003?
It's a fundamentally obvious point, but thought it needed mentioned.
Be well all. :) Bo

NEO: Here are my predictions: Hit my prediction for today pretty close: This is with no reverse splits and no buy out:
1 Month end of March .08 to .10
3 Month end of May .30 to .40
8 Month end of October .80 to 1.00
1 Yr end February 2005 1.20 to 1.50
2 Yr end February 2006 5.00 to 8.00
3 Yr end February 2007 12.00 to 20.00
(I feel I might be a little low on the 3 yr).
Good Idea NEO: This will make it interesting to see everyones thoughts on it.

My track record is here, readers made very
nice profits, readers can verify my record.
I trade the same stocks I provide for readers
and assume the same risks as readers.
None have lost money on my picks, if they
heed my warnings about risks and follow
my suggested entry points. Those who have,
all have profits worthy of bragging.
So, where is your track record?
I walk the talk. I await for you to do the same.
Purl Gurl
So far, the Laser Keyboard is the only thing I have never seen before and I am pretty nerdy at computers and its units.
Also, I don't know if you guys feel the same. But IBIZ website seem to unprofessional that will makes people think their product don't work too good? Ibiz website, it seem so plain and their checkout system is with Yahoo. It makes me rethink after I saw their website, and store. It seem like it is a small business website...

TT all you have to do is read some of the OTHER threads around allstocks and you would KNOW she KNOWS what she is talking about--what gets me about this is that we been here and did this-- you guys are wasting a lot of everbodies time with this LOL
I don't have a track record. I want to take the risk myself than having people follow my lost =)
You are so much kinder, so much more
gentle than I. That is a good quality.
Bottom line for me is,
"How can I make the most money in the
shortest amount of time by keeping my
money hard at work earning profits?"
Inherently, that general philosophy is
tempered by risk factors, personal risks
levels and set goals.
Shoot, in the time these people have been
in Ibiz, I have been in and out of several
stocks with acceptable profits, a lot more
profit than will earned on Ibiz.
Ibiz just might skyrocket. Ibiz just might
turn out to be the hottest stock of the
year. However, current circumstances point
to continued dilution and loss of money.
I would rather keep my money busy and keep
Ibiz on the back burner until this company
walks the talk. So far, they have not. So
far, they have not earned a dime of my money.
Some investors, however, have earned my
annoyance which I am more prone to display
than you, Glassman.
Purl Gurl
I am not telling anyone to buy or not to buy this stock--I am just annoyed with some of the bad factual presentations here..GOOD LUCK
I do have an excellent track record which
people have made bank upon.
So why are my articles mule manure and
your (plural) articles not mule manure?
Who walks the talk around here?

Pure Gurl, I have to agree on you with that. IBIZ IS going slow... By end of this month, they probably double or trippled, with this time, I can easily get it with some other penny stocks.

IBZT history hasn't been good, and it will be really tough to get out of the hole. If they can do it great, but if they cannot there could be a bankrupcy. And when PG said there has been Dilusion no one can deni that. You've seen the prices latly.
But IBZT has also gotten more media attention for a penny stock then any other I've ever seen. It is amazing. IF the products (vkb, blue dock) work well. THis company could be very successful. But if they are poor quality, then we have a problem.
My GUESS is that IBZT will go up very slowly but surly with repeated PR's of retailers getting on board. Then when the next 10k comes out we'll see how many sales we get. (2003 their sales rose 36%) But also remember no one ever said they were expecting to get 100000 sales a month. That is just how many they can get. 100000 sales a month will NEVER happen. Their has only been 100000 pre-sales for mini iPod's you are telling me that the VKB is more known then mini iPods?
OH well I'll quote Bright Eyes for my outlook on IBZT "Hope for the best, Plan for the worse, and wind up somewhere in the middle.

We've got a really good thing going on here at AllStocks People REALLY trying to help each other - unlike most other boards.
Let's not turn this into a RB atmosphere. All are entitled to their opinion, but if you're pushing an issue, please back it up with DD and FACTS.
I've been here since last summer and love this board, BECAUSE most people are usually civil with each other. There was a big spat involving 2 GOOD people, and they both left. That was unfortunate. Then some idiots started dumping on one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people on Allstocks (I called him the Patriarch of AllStocks), and HE got sick of their BS and left, but has come back on a limited basis. It was sad that we lost 3 EXCELLENT posters - who knew how to due their DD.
We all have different and interesting personalities - and that's a good thing. But let's try and stay civil, and if someone pushes the envelope a little too much, ignore them. Plain and simple. (I'm not talking about the 2 jokers who got banned from here for their vulgar and sacraligious behavior ont he QBID thread last week - THEY don't qualify as humans).
Keep it lite and lively! We all want some fun as well as all the DD many of us put in.
May all your Buys be "Good Buys"!

No other board has the integrity of Allstocks. We can quickly restore the integrity of this board, and other boards on here.
If there is a specific postname or postnames that you feel are the cause of what as occurred over the past day, and in other boards in the recent past, you can easily send your complaint here: http://www.allstocks.com/links/html/contact.html
State your case and request that the appropriate action be taken, including removal of postname or names (if applicable) from the board if Allstocks so decides.
The information and maturity, and smiles shared are simply too valuable for all to have it deteriorate beyond what is happening.
Bo
P.S. I just posted this same message on the newly started board, which was deteriorating as quick from the start as this one has in the past day.

I also own IBZT. Down 15%, but I intend to hold for long term. I don't mind losing 15% on IBZT, Bart's posts make up the difference!!!! A good laugh is worth more than a few dollars. I have never seen such consistent,unbridled enthusiasm. Thanks, Bart.
Don't invest what you can't afford to lose.
Have a great day all.
Your post, as well as Uncle Milty's mention of Canesta is appreciated, and I'm sure you can appreciate it has been well discussed in previous posts. Hopefully we can pick our discussions up again as we have prior to yesterday.
At least to me the fundamental response to your mention of Canesta, lies within the basic of all market forces, that being competition.
Currently, I am using an HP pavilion xt345 laptop for my business and investing. I also have a Compaq desktop for home use. I'm sure if we listed, we could list various makers of computers we use currently, including but not limited to Dell, Gateway, IBM, Sony, Compaq just to name a few. Competition in cell phone hardward (Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, etc) and our cell phone companies all vary as well. This fact can be mentioned for virtually every product or service in our economy.
Canesta's product may be real and a competitor to IBIZ. That remains to be seen, as I have not seen their product application, cost, or market potential.
IMHO, they are likely hard pressed on all areas since the infomation about IBIZ's activity have become globally publicized AFTER Canesta's PR of 12-16-03.
If they do someday put out a product, it will likely be long after IBIZ has entered the global market (now in progress). If they do, then consumers will have even greater exposure to this product and technology. They will make a choice based on their preferences, much like we do for the computers we now use, or any other product or service on the market. And the "if" in my previous sentence only assumes they are able to cost effectively put out a product to compete price and function-wise with IBIZ's technolgy products. Be well, Bo

If you've seen, from 5 to 10 minutes after the market opened on the day the Circuit City news was released, MM's have grabbed a hold of this stock, trading it mostly among themselves, and have not let it go for a second since. I would think an end to that type of practice will come soon enough. The next 5 to 7 business days for the market and IBIZ should be interesting. Be well, Bo
We have no need for refrigerators here. We store all our food on the driveway.
Gotta run. Be well, Bo :)
In light of the SEC ruling taking effect now on April 1, rather than 2-20, I would hope news on the delivery and/or status of the shipements can now be made. I truly believed IBIZ was timing many pr and marketing initiatives based on this ruling.
Now to break the bond of MM's, what is in the works needs to be known so the stock can rise on it's own merit, and hopefully beyond the grip of MM's.
Patience is our key here, but at some point shareholders have a right to demand answers to delays or formal pr's of product shipment dates. In light of the NASD news, I feel like we are very close to that point.

If the Zillions of dollars worth of Free publicity all over the world hasn't made us take off (most likely because of the high OS), then NOTHING but delivery of the keyboards will, imo.
The sad part is seeing stocks with NO product and NO real business trading from .10 - $3.00; yet we have a definite winner that can't (well -hasn't yet - it CAN) explode. I read the PR about AGIS and the India deal THAT morning and thought "so, big deal", and even though it came crashing back down, there was enough interest to get it from nothing to .73 in a few HOURS. We have HUGE TV coverage, BusinessWeek, tons of other publications - and we're dropping.
The shorters getting a reprieve until April 1st doesn't help pennyland either.
This is one of the very FEW penny stocks that I actually consider an "investment". Price isn't going to do much now, imo, except drift sideways and lower until that PR is released.
We've had plenty of 'fluff' PRs that did nothing for pps, and even the good one about CC didn't do much. We've heard since last Sept. that the keyboard would be delivered in Nov; then Jan, now Feb-MArch. Once it is delivered and people can use it - Then we'll SOAR, and it could be a NEOM or AGIS-like run, even though it would retrace from an emotion based spike. Then when the 1st Qtr, #s come out, we should hit a new plateau, then Blue Dock this summer, followed by the VKB for cell phones, and we could, if all the products are as well received as we anticipate, then be considered 'one of the player' AND "Stock and Company of the Year".
It's got MY vote for sure!
Good luck to all,
Steve
I don't mind about the price dropping... But something bothering me is that I bought it at the high price, and when price drop, other people can buy my amount of shares with using half of the amount of money... Keep thinking of that make me mad... =)
Good Luck
I bought 2M of GWDL today, they got news and they expect to increase their revenue through a new product line. The best part is that they bought back 500M shares last month!
This sounds like a mighty good investment, of course do your own DD for yourself.
GLTA!
Sherman,
As I sit here eating my lunch at my desk and contemplating your first e-mail, I truly thought it was a joke. In that regard, I sent a jokeful response to you. Anyway, we are excited about our company, the products and the direction we continue to move in.
To that point, we have all intentions of continuing to enhance the value of this company through aquisitions and mergers, however, your lead below is a bit of a departure from our core business plan. Amazingly we have brought this company from its death a couple of years ago to where it actually has a tremendous growth path ahead. We're looking at many technologies, however, they are all based on the mobile professional and how he/she works. That is not to say we won't do something in and around the cell phone industry. As you know, the PDA and cell phone are converging and needless to say, that becomes a natural market of us to embrace in the future.
The share price frankly has amazed all of us here as well as the street I'm sure. As you know we were well under water with convertible debt and really felt it would be some time we could move the share price above a penny. To that end we embraced various products over the last two years that were unique and added usable value to PDA ownership. Prior to the virtual keyboard we had one focus and one focus only. That focus was to bring revenue generation to this company. We had really given up on the share price. Again, the share price increase took us all by surprise.
Finding the virtual keyboard was a wonderful event in many ways. First it brought tremendous exposure to the company and its stock price. At the time the stock was a tremendous bargin. Today it really is up to the purchaser to determine if it is a bargin at 4 cents or not. I can't speculate on whether it is or it isn't. What I do know is this, we have a tremendous amount of back orders for the tecnology. Our delivery will meet our schedule, although I'm told there is much speculation on whether the product is real or not. Even to that point, it is our understanding some people on message boards spread rumors that the product doe not even exist and the press release that was put out regarding shipping was false. Let me assure you, the statement we put out on shipping was in fact true. The shipments we made went to analysts and the media. We shipped everything we had after the show and as a direct result of the show interest.
Our virtual keyboard is not behind schedule, however, speculation would have you believe it is grossly overstated and way behind. Again, not the case. After CES, we opened up our production facility and began assembling units. Today that process continues. Production in and of itself has be debugged and set up so the end product is meets our QA expectations as well as the customers quality expectations.
Today production is well underway. I think everyone was under the impression we were in full product at the time of CES, however, as I explained above, we were only beginning production directly after that. A bit more than a month has passed and we are constantly being blasted with irrate shareholders wondering where the product is and when it is going to ship. That being said, the product will ship when it is ready and not before. Regardless of the wishes of the share holders in general. Afterall, it is easy to be a shareholder, but to build a product from scratch is a task that requires much more than wishful thinking for a short term gain in share value. We do hope the share price will maintain its current level and hopefully when this company demonstrates it can produce product and revenue it will improve through that performance.
Again, thank you for your kind words and intentions in your e-mail. If you need to share this e-mail with other investors, I don't think there would be a problem from my side with anything I have stated here.
Best Regards,
Ken Schilling

Subject: RE: Mr. Ken
Mr. Ken,
thanks for you reply. u know, when i sent that email to you, i didn't
actually expect u would reply it. lol
anyway, thanks again
all jokes aside, i do love your company's stock. i got in around some
0.035/share and have been stayed since then. I was kinda regretful when i
didn't get out at that 0.07 peak weeks ago, otherwise would have accumulated
more shares..well..i never know what's going to happen~~
anyway
honestly, your company's stock is great (in a sense that a lot of people
have made huge bucks so far); but its products ( please forgive me if i
offended you ), in my humble opinion, did have some limitations in market;
Depite other huge competitors around, the most important factor is, would
customers really "love" them? ---- i mean, ofx, at first, since it's
something we never seen before, I might just order one or two to take a look
at how "cool" it really is, but after a while, it's very likely and
reasonable if i get bored and lose interest, you know...
sure the stock will respond dramatically; but in a long run, i really doubt
it could keep it up..
I guess (purely guessing) when nice PRs come out later, pps will rally
considerably -- give it a 10 bagger would be reasonable considering all the
hype around your company right now.
by then you would have valued more than "millions"
would you be considering shifting your business core into other sectors in
the future?
or to acquire other undervalued businesses to prop up whatever you wanna
achieve in a long run?
I have spotted a Chinese company called "China Continental Inc." trading on
the OTCBB under ticker simbol "CHCL". if you look up its financial, this
company has more than $170Million assets with virtually no debt (book value
around $0.6 but trading at $0.04 level recently). Since it's audited in
China, lot of potential investors doubt its "legitimacy" or "authenticity"
thus dare not to get too "deep" into it.
however, I was actually born there and have seen this company growing from a
little farm.
this company deals with planting, harvesting and sale of forage grass, fish,
livestocks etc.
its CEO and insiders are holding about 33% of the O/S. ( but the actual
value is even less than 10th of your holdings in iBIZ if iBIZ gets over 10
cents/share)
there are more than 5 people on its board but only one of them is a "major"
holder, its reported employees are 40 but actually there are more than 300
workers working on its farm ( most of them are poor farmers who get paid
about 50 US$ monthly! )
As you may have heard of the new Chinese governement is actually trying to
shift its business policy so that vitually all "government controlled ones"
will be "privatized" in near future.
unlike rampant economic growth around South and Southeast of China, this
company is located in the north where business activity is still very
"primative", and that's why it hasn't been "scouted" out yet...
anyway, you can ignore all those stuff I wrote above if you're not
interested.
you may ask why do I make recommendation to you while I can actually do it
myself...
The answer is this, (again, in my humble opinion) unlike the stock market
where some people get rich by "eating" others' money, for a successful
business entity, when it's still not "grown-up" yet, "sharing" is a very
important concept --- you have to make yourself rich by helping others get
whatever you make.
When they are happy, they like you, then they pay you back by awarding you
trust and credit.
which in turn accelerate your growth until some day you become so large and
powerful that they have to show you "respect" instead...
that's my undestanding of "trading relations".
At last,
Best wishes to you and your future business!!
Regards,
Sherman

-----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
I think $0.037 is absolute Bottom, read why
CEO Cast initiated coverage at this price:
iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT) $0.037
We have never initiated coverage of a stock with a price so low. In fact, we were torn between the strong promise of the company’s technology and a sub-optimal capital structure. However, the parallels between IBIZ Technology Corp., a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants and hand-held devices and Socket Communications, a big winner for our followers, are strikingly similar.
The company recently launched the Virtual Laser Keyboard at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Keyboard attaches to PDA’s and projects the image of a full-size keyboard onto the surface of the desk where the PDA is placed, making it easy to input text without a physical keyboard. Unlike many small snap-on keyboards for PDAs, the Virtual Laser Keyboard provides a full-size QWERTY keyboard. It is also smaller and more convenient to use than the folding-type keyboards made by some manufacturers and similar to them in functionality. The Keyboard requires no special training.
It employs a USB/serial cable connection to communicate with the PDA or PC. Future models will incorporate Bluetooth and/or IR Wireless Connections to a variety of devices. The light weight device weighs two ounces and is similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Keyboard includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the device with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC. The battery lasts three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries. The cost of the device is $100.
The Keyboard has generated a great deal of attention. Recently, the Boston Globe featured the device, along with Tech TV & CNN. The company also noted that at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), investors were lined up 10 deep. Tech TV nominated the device for its Best of CES. IBZT received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on its site than any other product it has sold in an entire month in its 24-year history.
Since November 2001, the company has been rebuilding its product offerings in and around the PDA accessory industry. Last April, it launched two new products, The Xela Case/Keyboard, and The CF (Compact Flash) Pocket Radio. In September, it began shipping The SD (Secure Digital) Pocket Radio for Palm handheld devices. While the company has consistently been generating losses, its revenues have been steadily growing. For its third quarter ended July, 2003, the company reported revenue of $146,000, more than double its previous quarter, and more than the two previous quarters combined. With a strong backlog from the Virtual Keyboard, IBZT should report its highest sales quarter ever when it releases results for the period ended January, 2004.
So why is the stock trading for pennies? The answer is its capital structure. Unlike other companies that have solid capital structures, iBIZ has had to fund itself with a convertible debenture, which has diluted investors and kept the share price down. Still, when we initiated coverage of Calypte Biomedical approximately six months ago, it had a similar structure. Just one month later, shares had surged from $0.12 to nearly $1.70. If the company is successful in improving its capital structure, a strong increase in price could occur.
The stock has rallied over the last two weeks, as a result of the excitement surrounding the Virtual Keyboard, causing the stock to double on enormous volume. The stock traded over 700 million shares in one day. This is due to strong interest from investors, and institutions converting stock as a result of the financing. Due to the large number of shares currently outstanding, the company has a market capitalization of approximately $75 million, enough for a listing on the American Stock Exchange. The combination of growing interest in its promising Virtual Keyboard, along with an improved capital structure could make this stock a big winner for speculative investors.
(Voluntary Disclosure: Position- Long; ST Rating- Strong Buy; LT Rating- Strong Buy)

Currently IBZT does to trade public options in the market to my knowledge. Bo
I don't know about you, but if a company's President and its officers start buying insanely large amounts (more than 1.5 Billion!!)of its stock, something's gotta be brewing.
Don't think that they'll throw in their money if the company is not going anywhere.
Of course, do your own DD

Maybe because so many people bought the company shares, he afraid to loose his presidency position? LOL
Oracle mentions the VKB, and also said something about VKB demonstrating the virtual mouse ability!

I agree, I see us coiling tighter and tighter and then a new support in the neighborhood of 0.07 Mid-March. Oh, and not to be a pain in the a-- but, I think you mean a morning star. An evening star would be present gapping above the top of an uptrend and foretell a downward reversal - a very bearish sign.

Hey I didn't notice that at all. He said that in his view that we were probably at a minimum ahead of the competition by six months and probably more like a year. That's enough time to get VKB established and then make the transition into their patented Blue Dock.
He also mentioned that he felt like $100,000,000 annual revenues was a VERY achievable goal by three years! What would that constitute with the billions of shares outstanding and a P/E consistent with the other comparable stocks?

Thank You SEC for the delay.[This message has been edited by Bart (edited February 23, 2004).]
Yea Bart, I see that also... It been going down since Monday last week... And kind of annoys me... But somehw, it still staying in the $0.04's... So it's all good... If it drop below $0.04... Start panic... =D

If we get a series of pr's and I am traped out for 3 days Ill be beat.hmmmmm what to do what to do?
The rule is that a purchase of a stock takes 3 days to settle, so therefore your funds are locked if you buy and sell within that 3 day window (essentially a swing trade or day trade). As long as you've held the stock for more than 3 days, your funds should be immediately available to you upon the sale - sans commision and a nominal SEC fee.
Also, I don't know which book glassman recommended, but I did read Toni Turner's "A Beginner's Guide To Day Trading Online" and found it to be a useful companion for chart analysis.
Hope that helps and hope March is a kinder month for us...

I just called etrade and asked them about all that and they said again that if I sell a stock the money is not available for 3 days because I have a cash account and am not using margin.
Ask away here on the forum. I'll give my best answer, but there are a lot of great minds that will help as well. :) Bo
You think it will surpass $0.20 by mid of March of so? Because if it only doubled to $0.08... I rather take my money out and put it into other stocks and EASILY can get double in 2 or 3 days...
It feel like so much time wasted on IBZT if it only DOUBLED... Let me know what you guys think...
My fear would be getting caught OUT when they finally start putting out PRs stating that the Keyboards HAVE been shipped to internet customers and retailers, and sales #'s. Some have traded this very successfully - I wish I had, but I feel it's too late to now, and I'll have to be happy with the shares I have. These PRs could come ANY day at ANY time - and the price COULD Surge very high. Who knows for sure.
Good Luck,
Steve

Here is something for you. FORUM: Hotstocks Free For All TOPIC: IBZT - Look at all the buys at .04 on L2 TOPIC STARTER: mjy138
Go to mjy138 posted February 23, 2004 17:25 "it means buy now.... it will go up to .053 in 2 weeks... I know things".
Now my opinion. I know nothing but here it goes. Naked sellers still in until 1 Apr at least. Negative Charts: I do not care. Circuit city to have their order filled on iBIZ by 15 Mar. If filled big POSITIVE (This I think might be the thing that is ref above but maybe not) But if the VKB is not part of that shipment it will be a hugh blow to us. That VKB has to be part of that shipment. Penny land has been seeing red red now for a week due to turn green soon. I feel we will start seeing green tomorrow in big and little stocks. If no news release soon IBZT will continue to slide down. I see if we get the best news from the CC deal we will see .10 at best by Mar 20. To go higher we will need comfirmation of other retail outlets getting on board and the VKB being shipped and not just pending. I still am super bullish but we need help from the company on shiping the VKB. I have one on order and as soon as I get it I will let everyone know. Have a great day.

Subject: [ibizinvestors] My email to Ken and his reply.
Here is a copy of the email message that I sent to Ken Schilling at
IBIZ on 2/23/2004... and his reply to me follows....
Hi Ken
I hope your visit in Israel is going well!
I have another question that I would love to have answered.
Have the Virtual Keyboards been shipped out from Israel, and if
so ....
when and how many?
Thanks a bunch!
Dave Munday
-------------------
Ken's reply to my email......
------------------
Hi Dave,
Thank you and yes things are going well here in Israel.
Mark and I are going non stop since our arrival here Sunday morning.
I'll attach a few pictures from our factory visit Sunday afternoon.
No product outside of hand made pre production evaluation units have left the factory yet. We had about a dozen at CES, however, they were all shipped to various media venues and retailers for review.
Today, the product is on the assembly line as you will see by the attachments. I know many people are anxious to receive their units, however, this first stage is a slow one as the factory has to retool, await parts to arrive from the various sub component factories, be quality checked, counted, etc. etc. Needless to say an arduous task in the beginning.
The DOE (lens) was delayed do to continued fine tuning of the registration process, however, they have arrived and again, as you will see, the units are in final assembly as we speak.
Other than that, product appears as it will arrive in March with mass quantities continuing from that point forward. Accordingly, I would rather delay shipments than expose ourselves to a quality issue that would be devastating with the amount of orders we have in hand if the
product went off the shelves with a problem. Nonetheless, we're delighted to see the kinds of quality assurance tests the product is going through and I would say the factory here has the situation well in hand.
Thank you for your confidence in our small company as we look forward to the future hand in hand with our shareholders.
Best Regards from Israel,
Ken Schilling

"I know KEN is a crook but I do not care."
Yes, he is a "convicted" crook. On this,
we do agree.
Bart, my presentations are based on SEC
filings, company sponsored news and email
from Schilling. I fail to understand why
you claim those type of documents to not
be of a factual basis, within the limits
of how much a company lies.
Putin is not the president of the Republic
of Georgia nor is Georgia a part of the
once Soviet Union. Based on what you write,
it appears you are not up on current events,
such as the falling of the Berlin Wall and
the collapse of the Soviet Empire.
I like Putin. I believe him to be a very
asute politician doing the best he can
with circumstances presented to him.
RNDC, yes this stock caught some of us
with our pants down. One pick out of a
dozen or so profitable picks presented
by me. The Fat Lady is yet to sing about
RNDC stock, and probably won't because
my singing voice is not all that good.
Nonetheless, you have presented one stock
here, IBZT stock. Almost all have lost
money on this stock. I have presented a
dozen or so profitable stocks for readers.
Pffftt...
Purl Gurl
"No body has lost money in IBZT yet unless they sold it at a loss."
When prices fall below purchase price, this
is a loss, per my rules. Clearly many are
selling at a loss just as clear as IBZT
is being diluted, at investor loss.
Correct me if I am wrong but I recall your
making posts about your profits on IBZT
stock, buying in and selling just before
dilution kicked in, yes?
Here is the difference, Bart. I provide
picks in which readers buy at a suggested
entry point. When they do so, and my track
record reflects this, prices climb and never
fall below their purchase price. They are
in the black ink, at all times.
RNDC is a notable exception but this Fat Lady
has yet to sing a song of woe.
Another difference is I provide both positive
points and negative points, along with clear
warnings what might happen, to protect any
considering investment.
On your comment about our wanting to be a
millionaire, our family, we are already in
the multi-millionaire status group.
* shrugs *
Bottom line is a lot of people were and are
pumping IBZT stock with little regard for
what might happen, which has happened; loss
of money. You, Bart, pumped IBZT stock the
most of all, leading me to believe you are
the one who presented IBZT stock.
I do not subscribe to pumping and dumping.

The NASD moved the effective date up to
April Fool's Day to send two messages,
"Wall Street, you have more time to conceal
your financial crimes against families."
"Investors, April Fool's Day is an ironic
joke because we on Wall Street view you
investors as absolute fools."
Pretty much sums it up.
This new NASD rule is to pull in the reins
on Wall Street and offshore companies who
are shorting stocks to swindle. At first
glance, this new rule appears to be good.
However, on analysis, this new rule is
quite toothless and enforcement is placed
in the hands of financial criminals.
Super Man, do not confuse this NASD rule
with the new SEC "SHO" to come as many
here have. They are different.
I expect neither to make any difference
and view both as a political ploy to
call off the heat. Afterall, Wall Street
plays us for the fools they believe us
to be. Many are. Some are not.
There are many online resources where you
can learn more about this April Fool's joke
from NASD and the new "SHO" them the SEC
is not guilty of corruption rule.

I am not taking sides nor am I trying to step on your toes in any manner. If I do, please forgive me.
I am sure you are not the only millionaire around here.
If you're saying that you made your millions beginning with nothing, that'll be something worth respect.
If you're a millionaire because of your family, well, no offense, but being a millionaire really means nothing.
Please don't brag about your abilities or how much money you have, because I am sure there're many more astute investors than you out there.
This is a place to post your DD and comments about the company IBZT or just to socialize and definitely not a place to wage war or pick on anybody.
So, please, I humbly request that you take your brilliant mind to another board which appreciates it and leave this thread be.
Thank you and God bless you.
Have a nice day.

Every single share will be sold first thing in the morning. I still feel this is a great stock and has great potential but the headace of listing to stuff is not worth any kind of money. I will make a very nice profit and move to happier hunting lands. Good luck to all of you. You have a winner here.

"Ibzt is suffering due to the same reason all the other stocks are suffering. the mm's are killing the market."
There is a degree of truth in this, Neo.
Markets are being devastated by those we
know as Wall Street. They are taking clear
advantage of a loss of consumer confidence
to manipulate prices, for their benefit.
However, IBZT was and is destined to falling
prices because of dilution. Technicals make
this clear, even several weeks back.
Nonetheless, IBZT has fallen more quickly
than usual because of poor market conditions
and a loss of new investors, exasperated by
investors bailing out to cut losses.
I tend to doubt Market Makers are playing
much of role in recent falls simply because
IBZT is at such a low price, there is very
little potential for profit. IBZT cannot be
shorted down more than a penny or so, and
cannot be moved up in price more than a penny.
Few, if any, Market Makers would be interested
in a stock which cannot be manipulated much.
Poor market conditions, loss of investor
interest, some selling to cut losses, these
appear to be the major factors at play, save
for dilution being the number one factor.
Yes, Neo, investors should not panic. This
is precisely what Wall Street wants and
adds strength to their power plays.
Purl Gurl
IBZT has a product & I trust they will prevail....Once positvie news comes out with respect to numbers...it is a winner...Unfortunately their last 10 KSB did not deliver the news everyone wanted to hear so it has been trading sideways...So this is penny land if not one can always invest in the JNPRs, CISCOs, Nextels, etc.
The only real thing that worries me today is that it broke the support of 0.04...
I still have my 200k shares & holding...thought of daytrading couple of times but have not done that yet...
People who believe in this stock should not get pulled away from IBZT from this "battle" DD. This is a high risk field & one should only invest if they can afford the risk.

I would have bought more, but I spent all my $$ in the .04 range...needless to say I am a little pissed. At the time I thought I was lucky to get in at that point! It's all good though, I bought my initial shares, and don't plan on moving them anywhere for a long time. So the day to day swings aren't bothering me.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Feb 26, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- It has come to our attention that some shareholders are posting negative, harmful and inaccurate information on financial websites. Mr. Olsen states, "Anyone posting false information regarding QBID and Triangle Multi-Media (QBID, Trade) will be subject to legal action within five (5) days of said posting. We have had to do this before as it is a serious detriment to our company and it's investors. There is no reason other shareholders should be victims of false information, gossip and rumors."

It doesn't really have enough of a drastic drop and return to form the classic cup with a handle. Maybe it looks more the first half of a long sloping double bottom.
Chart analysis is well and good - but on IBZT, I really think fundamentals are going to drive the price up next month.
We need actual sales numbers and actual shipping of the VKB etc. before we see a nice spike up.
However, I do believe this will happen. The potential applications of the VKB (medical etc.) look good with other products (i.e. bluedock yto follow).
Now is certainly a good time to get in and hold for 1 month +
It is purpose that drives us!!!

Look at the ship date on this link.
The next news will probably have to do with this and will then be promptly followed by shipping news and news of new contracts and such. or possibly something fluffy will come out next week to get things rollin.
Good Luck,

I will say that the charts has holded up pretty good...considering that the news of the sales really has not come out...CEO scandal will be forgotten once the numbers come out & everybody knows that....
My only concern at this time is that it broke the 0.04 support & it is lurking near the 0.34 support line...
This company has products...lets not forget that...I will not be posting the products, but just by doing a search you can find a lot of DD.
This thread is kind of killing the stock...too much battle & negative connotation...& too long...
I recommend starting a new one.
I am still holding strong...
This is not an Intel or Cisco, this is pennyland & everything that is happening here is the risk of Pennyland...if you want to compare this stock with a real lying CEO check the PRs of RNKE (This is not bashing).

.....Plus I got some news from an email I sent to IBZT. I asked them several questions. In particular when are they going to start shipment and when will they be at full capacity in manafacturing the VKB. The second email was reference to the spin off and if it was aimed at killing IBZT while starting new under a new ticker symbol. Their reply:
Synosphere has four employees. The virtual keyboard is manufactured in Israel. Within four months, the production capability will be one hundred thousand virtual keyboards per month. The Circuit City order has a delivery date of March 15, 2004. IBZT will be issuing additional press releases as it concludes negotiations with other major retailers. The latest word we have from the company is that they will start shipping the virtual keyboard around the end of the month
The virtual keyboard will continue to be owned by IBZT. The spinoff will bring in new technology to be marketed by IBZT.
I think this is good news! Especially since allot of us have been a little edgy with no up days for a week. Hang in there!!!!!
********************************************
I thought the 100,000 manufacturing capacity was interesting. Of course there is no way to verify this information, but I have personally sent emails to iBIZ recently and gotten responses, so who knows. Like anything else on this board, take it for what you will, and always do your own DD.

The Virtual Keyboard, Is (Not) Here Now!!!
LONDON, February 27 /PRNewswire/ --
The Virtual Keyboard makes data entry to Smart Phones, PDA's (Personal
Digital Assistant), or laptop PC's comfortable, convenient and fun!!!
i.Tech Dynamic Ltd., part of the Hutchison Harbour Ring Ltd. group and an
approved supplier to first tier major global brands such, has a worldwide
license for manufacturing, marketing and sales for this astonishing product
that is based on technology developed by VKB Inc. i.Tech will be presenting
the final commercial version of this breakthrough mobile accessory at the
3GSM conference in Cannes February 23-26. The product will also be showcased
at the 3GSM Fashion Show alongside other i.Tech Dynamic products.
The Virtual Keyboard steers the IT & mobile communication industry into a
new era: this device projects the image of standard size QWERTY keyboard onto
practically any flat surface. An infrared system senses the letters and
numbers typed by the users and communicates them by wire or radio frequency
to a PDA, mobile phone or laptop PC. This initial external solution is as
easy to use as a conventional computer keyboard, it is also a desktop space
saving alternative for casual typists in both the household & business sector.
The Virtual Keyboard is based on a chipset that is also easy to integrate
directly into PDAs and mobile phones. "Now mobile phones or PDAs can at last
have a full-sized keyboard" explains Jonathan Curtiss, President of VKB Inc.
"In this way the users can type in emails or long texts easily and
effectively wherever they happen to be allowing them to fully exploit the
entire functionality of PDAs and Smartphones." Jonathan also predicts that it
will for example be used in sterile and medical environments as well as other
multi media and industrial applications. "The Virtual Keyboard is one of the
most innovative technologies we have yet brought through to commercialisation
, we are sure that it will be the first in the world and another breakthrough
for the mobile communication industry and consumer electronics in general",
says Patrick Tsang, General Manager of i-Tech Dynamic Ltd. - the manufacturer
and world-wide marketer for this new product.
VKB Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in August 2000. R&D facilities are
located in Jerusalem, Israel. VKB develops innovative virtual interfaces that
can be used with cellular phones, PDAs', PCs/Notebooks, information
appliances, consumer electronic products and other devices. VKB's proprietary
chipset and optical components are designed to serve as a core platform for
integration into specific products by OEMs. The aim is to establish the
standard for virtual interfaces across a wide variety of products. For more

VKB appears to be selling licenses to
anybody and everybody.
There are still a lot of countries not
coverd by licenses based on what I read.
One or more of these companies is being
less than honest, yes?
Evil Basher
if IBZT is such a scam.. why don't you sell short 100 millions shares or something along the line?
come on.. 100 million shares..What's 100 million shares for a millionaire? Almost next to nothing. if IBZT goes bankrupt, you'll make millions. Better still, keep selling short till it goes bankrupt.
In any case, remember...you reap what you sow. Sow evil and reap destruction.
Anybody know precisely whom is making and
selling this keyboard? How many companies
have been given worldwide rights?
Something is way wrong here. Based on this
news release, there are lots of conflicts
with prior claims by various companies, if
those claims are being related correctly
within this thread.
What is your opinion?
Purl Gurl
Boy Howdy, this story of Ibiz is becoming
very convoluted.
Is it true Ibiz only has five employees?
Purl Gurl
[This message has been edited by NEWDD (edited February 27, 2004).]
Ibiz currently reports cost of sales as
being one-hundred-seven percent.
Last year losses, just over six-million dollars.
Assuming this news release to be truthful,
Ibiz has a lot of competition. Their cost
of sales will have to be cut in half, minimum,
and they will have work with a thirty pecent
minimum gross profit on keyboards. This will
be really tough to overcome a six-million
dollar loss, tough to break even, at that.
If it is true they only have five employees
and little infrastructure, how will they
cut cost of sales in half?
Should Hong Kong beat them to the punch?
Appears Hong Kong is a wholesaler offering
these keyboards worldwide. They appear to
be a really huge corporation which suggests
a lot of retail contacts and customers.
Overall, I see a market for Ibiz so small,
they have little chance of being profitable.
If these other companies "wine and dine"
retailers better, Ibiz is out to lunch,
at McDonalds.
Your thoughts?
Purl Gurl
Clearly this is not for keyboards because
Schilling indicates no keyboards have been
manufactured for retail, as of a week or
so back. He indicates he does not know
when keyboards will actually move into
retail production.
So, I am basing my comments on their sales
people or person, as generating sales losses
beyond cost of goods. Clearly they will have
to cut cost of sales to impress investors.
This is why it is important to determine
total number of employees and type of
infrastruture costs to determine if they
can actually reduce cost of sales.
This news release is a big can of worms.
Purl Gurl
If somebody insists on beating a dead horse, nothing you do or say will deter it.
Logic and explanations will only work on those who are willing to listen.

This is today's amendment if you want to read,
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1079893/000114420404002210/form10qsb.txt
Purl Gurl
However, they will not collect revenue until
products are shipped, or not until sold, both
depending on what type of contract is inked.
I am more curious why Schilling uses a pronoun
"our" in reference to a manufacturing plant.
This news today suggests the Israel plant is
proto-type only, or is making the keyboards
for Ibiz. If Israel is selling the keyboards
to Ibiz, and Ibiz selling to retailers, then
Ibiz would be earning a very low profit margin
being in a wholesale position.
This Hong Kong outfit claims to have their
own manufacturing plant, indicating they
might even with or ahead of Ibiz on making
these keyboards.
What a mess and what confusion this news
release has created.
Purl Gurl
Haven't read today's amendment to discover
what is in there.
Could be some costs reported are associated
with the keyboards. I really do not know
and won't unless Ibiz makes direct reference.
Neo, I don't own Ibiz and will not become
an investor. Nonetheless, this is all quite
interesting to me, and hope for you as well.
Again, this news today creates a lot of
contradictions for what is widely believed
about Ibiz and what they are doing.
I'll be around over the next days, after
some of this is digested and after others
express their opinions.
Most interesting!
Purl Gurl
that's why I say .. "whaaaatever..sell short.. come on.. sell short"
Yes, Neo, I also visited the Hong Kong site
right off to find what is there. Lots of
dead links as you say.
They appear to me to be a wholesaler, this
is, a "middleman" who sells products to
retailers. I don't think they retail at all.
It is true, God, in Her infinite wisdom,
is the only One who knows.
Ciao!

Doing so is bad Karma.
See ya later on.

The Heavenly FATHER is He, not a she. Maybe you should go see the passion movie and open up the Bible and get that little mis-understanding straightened out.
another fish here who swam away disgusted, tried to mention competition. shortly afterwards, ken himself said ibzt was 6-12 months ahead of the competition. heard him myself!!! at this point vkb is the most important element in the success formula for ibzt's near term share price. vkb is in a sense ibzt's biggest road block.
anyone who sees nothing but a bright future for ibzt based on the vkb is looking at such a tiny part of the picture i don't know how it would be possible to even know what is on the canvas. especially when some have already painted a cistine chapel in their minds when there is only one small dab of grey on the palate. it is going to take a tremendous amount of really solid management to build a profitable company from what currently is ibzt and a second party's product possibly being sold by others in the future. it will take sacrifice by the management and not needless awards and retention bonuses. the two top guys own 1/4 of all of the stock. over 1/2 billion shares at last tally awarded themselves for losing money. this is not opinion. it is fact and in the sec forms you should all be reading. with those shares already at a 17.5 million dollar value at todays close, there is already a pretty comfortable future there. not like someone with a realistic number of shares and the needed to make them worth something or drive a ford after retirement.
please don't mention the need to put a lock on the print shop where those shares are printed and printed and printed.....
hope springs eternal, but reality is what will produce money.
a pearl starts as a tiny piece of sand and it takes time to make something valuable from it.
the sun is going down and it's time to head for deep water till i can clearly see what is going on around me. make sure you look everywhere around you too. dinner or diner. take your pick.
i think people were psyched on the first and second runs, and now might require some more hard facts.
if i were king of ibztlandia, i would give back 80 % of the king and princes 1/2 billion shares to the treasury. OR put a restriction on 90% of them until such a time as i could drive the company to profitability for two consecutive years.
i would disclose the particulars of the vkb agreement in a pr.
i would disclose the details of orders standing for the vkb and list the major companies if they gave permission.
i would give precise production details of what vkb has produced to date.
i would announce any increase in authorized and outstanding shares before it was required in a sec filing.
i would religiously watch the disney channel for other great ideas.
well, i guess these things are what i would like to see as much as a dime or more share price in the next little bit. the rest of what is out there is speculation. 100,000 keyboards a month in 4 months if you knew when to start the clock. feb 1? april 1?
how will this new production capacity be funded. in part by the $40 price tag for the first units i suppose, but there is a catch 22 in there. ya gotta do this to accomplish that, but ya gotta accomplish that to do this.
this is the very hardest time for any new endeavor, assuming there wasn't already a history of spending more than a buck to make one. that only works well if you print paper that you can sell for the difference. 2.2 billion shares? i can almost hear carl sagan comparing penny stocks to the universe. sometimes we forget what those numbers really are like. they become unreal and off scale for most pocket calculators.
i really hope you can work yourself into a free share position. read your intraday charts and play 20% swings in small increments, but don't become a tunnel vision trader. you need to be looking at lots of new stocks every week, and try to divide your time and money so your portfolio isn't too heavy in any one play. if you can track 40 or 50 stocks, the bottom line will more closely reflect your ability to make decisions (right or wrong) and not what one particular stock does.
good luck, and keep an open mind.

fry's daddy,
mr fish
kinda fishy that you're a new member.
sure... throw a few thousand PCBs with the lenses assembled and aligned into a huge basket and then take a picture. That'll show everybody there's more than a dozen PCBs around.
Putting them together all stacked up haphazardly will also ensure that the sharp edges will not damage the lenses at all, nor alignment of the sensors, thus ensuring that the laser projection and CMOS sensors will function correctly.
Yeah.. that's the way to do it... definitely not lay them down face up side by side to take the fotos. That wouldn't show anything at all.
Hmm.. maybe they should lay down a few thousand of them side by then then take pictures from a helicopter or something.
how about putting a whole pile of them in bus over there to really show how rugged they are. don't want people think these keyboards have to be babied.

1) he choose that new PR for VKB bcoz that pr is already dealing another simliar product (something like scanning pen for PDA)this pr is experience for this kind of the technology they know how to deal with the publicity in diffirent area( technical, finacial etc)
2)he did the right thing to increase the O/S in the right time( this bearmarket and just before the VKB shipment) to reduce the debts
3) if he announce he would increase the O/S b4 the quaterly report in that case he is just trying to kill himself and ibzt stock price bcoz he knew how much ibzt made in the Q4 2003 something like 400k thats awwwwe but still made some progress though haha now just imagine what will happen to the stock price if he did what u said
4) i have started my clock already u can check the due date of last years Q1 Q2 report
and give a approximate due day of this year
5) i would prefer to watch playboy channel tho haha just kidding
by the way nice to see all ur ppl still here me just drop by and say hi to my good friend purl gurl lol lol yo i am still hoding my ibzt shares very tight also if IBZT is ruled by u Fishy i would put my money somewhere else please don't be offened and finally here is something for u

what is your opinion of the sec filing and in particular the two top guys owning 1/4 of the o/s?
for me this has been a good investment, but i sold allot high. i just don't expect the moves many are predicting. so often with stocks like ibzt that are sub penny and break upwards for stardom, it is after the big run (s) that public attention and discussion brings out facts. most penny investors jump in and out without dd.
i suspect despite the less than encouraging sec filing, that ibzt will see levels of .05 and above IF they get a few rounds of orders going with major suppliers. this is a brief and tenuous claim to fame based on the vkb and ibzt really needs to capitalize on it while they are slightly ahead of the pack. the pack includes huge players with potent ability to make things happen much more quickly than vkb and ibzt.

i had a hard time understanding most of your post yaki. but if making money is an indication of being right, then my average level of making correct decisions is better than the s$p 500 index fund performance by a factor of over 40 last year. maybe i was just lucky.
i think i will make more on ibzt. i have no basis shares and a profit already and with all of the hype, a few good press releases could make us all a little more. it will take some pretty good news to push this to double yesterday's close. AND no huge share holders selling into the news. AND no further increase in o/s.
well, busy day---lots of bait to catch and hooks to avoid.
what is your opinion of the most recent sec filing?
eat more chicken!
mr fish
i think the ponit u made here r from the view of a day trader or trader. a lot of ppl have read the recent IBZT sec file and as a result some of them like purl gurl don't have confidence in ibzt after sec file. Also i agree with most of purl gurl's negitive thought. However IBIZ did make some progress for their sales in Q4 2003 and reduce debts.
Now its time to move on. The stock market is not only about traders or day traders. now my focus is that can the stock market still be a bear market and can it still attract a lot of fresh money to come and play in the futrue?? Also i will look forward for IBZT Q1 report and see what progress they have made and can it still attract more investment. therefore i am very patient to wait for the good news to come and i don't think ibzt will increase the o/s again in the near futrue. yup gambling is fun isn't it? haha
another thing is that 2 top guys r not hoding 1/4 of o/s but nearly 1/2.

HI YAKI
SORRY AGAIN, BUT I ONCE AGAIN I GOT LOST FIGURING OUT YOUR POST. YOU POSTED THE CURRENT SHARE COUNT FOR THE 2 EXEC OFFICERS A 23.4% BUT SAY IT IS 1/2. ALSO REMEMBER THAT THE REPORT IS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING OCT 31. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY INCENTIVE AND RETENTION BONUSES THEY AWARDED THEMSELVES SINCE THEN. THEY MUST BE PROUD OF THEMSELVES LATELY, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY WERE AWARDED MORE AND HAVE SOLD SOME TOO. SEC REPORTS AREN'T REAL TIME INFO.
BUT ANYWAY IF YOU ARE HAPPY LOSING LESS I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK AND A LONG LIFE OF HAPPINESS. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE PLEASED TO BEAT THE S&P 500. SOMETIMES BY ALLOT, SOMETIMES IN A 911 BEAR MARKET BY JUST A LITTLE, BUT ALWAYS IN POSITIVE TERRITORY. WHEN THE STOCK MARKET STINKS, THERE ARE OTHER INVESTMENTS.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU YAKI.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS LINK LTM. FUNNY HOW SOME OF THESE SEC REPORTS SEEM OUT OF SYNC. FISCAL YEAR ENDS OCT 31 PER THE 10K AND THIS WAS FILED LAST NOV 4. IT IS VERY INTERESTING READING, AND ALMOST READS LIKE A PROSPECTUS IN PARTS. I FIND MUCH OF IT FORWARD LOOKING. THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH WHICH IS THE THIRD FROM THE TOP IN THE FILING HAS ME CONFUSED AS TO IF THIS HAS HAPPENED. 100%? THE NEW GUYS ON THE BLOCK CLAIMING THEY WILL BE SELLING AND MANUFACTURING THE VKB ARE EITHER BLOWING SMOKE, OR IBZT AND VKB DIDN'T CONSUMATE THE AGREEMENT AS STATED IN THE FOLLOWING. IT ALSO PUTS THE SPIN OFF DATE INTO THE PLAY WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED YET. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH IBZT SIGNED BY VKB.
After completion of the spin-off as outlined previously, the
Company intends to acquire the Input Device Activities of
Endeavour Capital AG in return of shares in the company; this
transaction does not, under Nevada law, require the consent of
shareholders. This will be accomplished by the issuance by the
Company of 11,200,000 shares of common stock to Endeavour Capital AG,
in exchange of 100% of the input device license agreements currently
owned by Endeavour.
OPINIONS PLEASE?
FRY'S DADDY,
MR FISH
OPINIONS?
MR FISH
"...EID has begun mass production on its VKB Virtual Keyboard...."
Per his recent email, this news claim is
actually false, is it not?
Also per Schilling,
"The current officers and directors have not
received any compensation to date. They will
not be remunerated until the Company turns
profitable."
Recently, this statement is proven untrue.
Endeavour Capital AG, I find lots of companies
with the name "Endeavour Capital" but have
yet to pin down the correct company.
Anyone have links to the correct company?

Glassman, you'd be surprised at how many and which "BRILLIANT tech/business" people took a pass on the personal computer 30 years ago.
The question one of them asked was: "Why in the world would people want to have a computer at home ? ".
Another example, the
"BRILLIANT tech/business" at the head of the Xerox corporation didn't think the "stuff" some kids and nerds/geeks were coming up with ( Graphical User Interface, mouse, ... ) over at their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) had any potential whatsoever.
The rest is history...
I'm not saying that IBIZ and the VBK will for sure change the way we use our computers, but again keep in mind the examples I gave above....
Good luck in your trades and investments.

anybody seen the license agreement that IBZT has to distribute and market this new toy yet? Had your hands on/in one yet? Seen any production capability yet?--Ibzt is purely a speculative stock play no more no less------quit trying to make it sound like a safe investment and you'll find much less "bashing" from rational traders/investors--LOL

I'm sorry Yaki--i missed your question--this means that 500k +/- = 23.48% of the shares are owned by two people--they are becoming millionaires overnite--but can they sell those share for real money?--only if somebody buys them................
shorting is borrowing shares and selling the shares--you have to buy shares to replace the shares you borrowed--who will lend you those shares?I don't know --i haven't borrowed or loaned shares--ever
In a reply to my note, you made a reference to people bashing other people and calling them names.
I'm hoping you were just trying to 2 posts from 2 different persons on the same post, because I don't think the tone of my post was bashful. I was just replying to your assertion about "BRILLIANT...people".
I'm really sorry if you perceived my post as bashful.
Now let me add a few things.
1) I think you're probably a most experienced and knowledgeable trader/investor than I. You've probably made much more money than I in your trading/investing life.
2) I don't think and I wasn't implying that IBZT can be compared to DEC or IBM. But IBZT might bear some similarities with "Micro-soft" from the early days when they were "headquartered" in Albuquerque.
I've read about Billy "The Magnificent" Gates and his pal Paul Allen putting the finishing touches on code at night on the red-eye, as they were flying to meet prospective clients the next morning.
I've read about ole' Sam Walton -in the early days of WM - driving his truck full of merchandise from Tenessee, taking back roads to avoid the state patrol because his load was way over the authorized limit...
The first time some Wall Street people took a look at Wal Mart facilities and business, to say that they weren't impressed is an understatement.
Remember ? The question was: when was KMART going to put them out of their misery ?
In his bio, ole Sam narrates how worried he was because the Co. was carrying so much debt, (he tells that at some point, he was using money form one loan to make payments on another loan) and how going public saved their butt.
You know about the reputable more established companies that passed on on the PC, the Operating System, the Spreadsheet, the GUI, ...
I'm not pumping IBZT here. I'm not saying that it's the next Microsoft or the next Wal-Mart. I'm vested in it as you've guessed.
(Money that I can affrord to loose). I may very well loose all of my $$$.
But all I'm saying is that sometimes, surprising things happen in the business/financial world. And that's what I'm betting/gambling on. Because that's what it is: a gamble. I'm aware that the numbers and some facts are against IBIZT. But the thing that weighted in favor of my decision to throw the dice here are:
1- the company seems to have engaged in an interesting turn around.
2- the media coverage they've received is incredible for what was still a micro penny stock 10 weeks ago.
In fact, IMHO , IBZT's hottest asset is not so much the VBK than it is the media exposure which - I'm betting - should help sell much more of IBZT's other products that are already on the shelves.
As they say, do your own DD. (Glass, I know you've already done yours)
JMHO.
GLTA.
Answer: because we are all bored out of our minds waiting for the market to open or close! LOL
I have come to this website, not listen to OPINIONS of other people, (b/c that's all any of these posts are), but rather to find a starting point on a stock that I will promptly look into MYSELF! GLASSMAN, BART, PURL GURL, OPIATE94, etc..none of these posters know **** IMO! That's not an insult, that's just a fact that it seems we all, as investor's, live by.
Question: How do I know these people don't know ****?
Answer: I DON'T!!! b/c just like a stock, I have no DD on them as people, so I can't take what they say as true or false, pumping or bashing. What I do instead is is take it ALL in, whether I agree or disagree, and use all of these posts as a sort of "road map" to doing my own research, and making my own grown up decisions on my investments.
A famous person once said "if you don't have nothing nice to post, then don't post nothing at all"! LOL Another famous man once said "Can't we all just get along!"
Seriously people, even though it is somewhat entertaining to read some of this soap opera of a thread, I would rather read about the stock being bashed than a person. I may be a newbie at investing, but not manners. Let chiil the **** out, ok? GLTA
As usual, this is my humble opinion!

Schilling further commented, "The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) event in Las Vegas demonstrated an incredible demand for the Virtual Keyboard. As a result, the decision was made to move production to another facility that was better suited to meet the product demands. During January, the assembly was moved and efforts were made to bring the product to mass production in the new facility. During our visit, we were able to view all phases of the products assembly as well as understand the dynamics of tooling processes for specific critical components. Seeing the level of sophistication in each of these processes left us with not only a better understanding as to why there have been several delays in shipping, but also assured us the finished product would meet industry expectations on quality.
"The virtual keyboards parts are currently being tooled and quality assurances put into place to insure each part meets the highest usable quality standard prior to final assembly. There were four essential components being refined during the visit. Those components included three plastic lenses covering the virtual keyboard internal components and the infrared projection devise embedded behind the red lens at the top of the unit.
"Factory representatives have presented us with shipping details that should have mass production units available by the end of March. Initial production units will be shipped in white boxes in an effort to satisfy the substantial back log of internet orders. The initial retail packaged orders will be fulfilled shortly following this initial production, until full production is met, likely within sixty days. The Company currently has a substantial backlog from various retailers and demand is growing daily.
"The Virtual Keyboard has allowed us to leverage our other products together with a product offering for retailers that is unmatched in our four years of providing PDA accessories," added Schilling. "Our own web sales for the Virtual keyboard continue to grow. To that end, we received more pre-orders for the Virtual Keyboard in the first twenty-four hours on our site than any other product we have introduced sold in an entire month. It is truly exciting to watch the enthusiasm surrounding this product. We look forward to the other opportunities this technology will bring as we continue to embrace its dynamics."

four months, almost five months back.
Anyone find any pertinent information on

Very good link on bashers. It does highlight the point that very few people are altruistic. Hence, ALWAYS do your own DD. Why are certain people spending hours on these message boards replying to every issue raised (whether or not it's personally addressed)? It may be in the spirit of comraderie. Then again, it may be classic manipulation. Our innate fear response is a very powerful and our propensity for irrational investment behavior is limitless.

He's on Tech TV and Radio. If he has the VKB on their show Tuesday - maybe we'll get back to a nickel or so - then the CeBit, and then hopefully actual shipping.........
Last time Leo was supposed to be on R & K, it was postponed. Let's hope for the best all the way around!

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified eight
accounting principles that we believe are key to an understanding of our
financial statements. These important accounting policies require management's
most difficult, subjective judgments.
(1) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are reported at the customer's outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not normally require collateral to support receivables and interest is not accrued thereon.
(2) ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivables is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired (bankruptcy, lack of contact, account balance over one year old, etc.).
(3) INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally by average cost) or market.
(4) ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES
The Company has issued convertible debt securities with non-detachable conversion features. The Company has recorded the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as interest expense and an increase to Additional Paid in Capital.
(5) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Product Sales - when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer.
Maintenance Agreements - Income from maintenance agreements is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the service contracts. The unearned portion is recorded as deferred income.
Service Income - When services are performed.
(6) CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
The Company issued common stock for payment of consulting services. The cost of the consulting services was determined by multiplying the common shares issued by the market price, less an agreed upon discount, for the shares at the inception date of the agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The year ended October 31, 2003 compared to the year months ended October 31,
2002.
Revenues
Sales from continuing operations increased by approximately 36% to $485,382 in the year ended October 31, 2003 from $356,278 in the year ended October 31, 2002. The increase was mainly a result of the addition of new customers, the increase in volume sales to an existing national retailer and introduction of three new products.
Cost of Sales and Gross Loss
The cost of sales of $519,003 (107% of sales) in the year ended October 31, 2003 remained the same from $379,440 (107% of sales) for the year ended October 31, 2002. Cost of sales consists of 354,434 (73% of sales) of direct material, packaging and freight and $164,569 (34% of sales) of salaries and employee related costs for the year ended October 31, 2003. Cost of sales consists of $274,556 (77% of sales) of direct material, packaging and freight and $104,884 (30% of sales) of salaries and employee related costs for the year ended October 31, 2002.
The gross loss of 33,621 ((7)> of sales) in the year ended October 31, 2003 decreased from $23,162 ((7)> of sales) for the year ended October 31, 2002.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 1% to $1,026,660 in the year ended October 31, 2003 from $1,516,776 in the year ended October 31, 2002.
Officer Bonuses
Officer bonuses increased 100% to $1,132,882 in the year ended October 31, 2003 from $0 in the year ended October 31, 2002. The increase is due to the issuance of stock based bonuses to the officers throughout the year ended October 31, 2003.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 41% to $353,516 in the year ended October 31, 2003 from $250,057 in the year ended October 31, 2002. The increase in interest is a result of approximately $1,850,000 new convertible debentures issued at 12% from August 2002 to June 2003.
Interest Expense - Convertible Debentures-Beneficial Conversion Feature
The Company has issued convertible debt securities with a non-detachable convertible feature that were "in-the-money" at the date of issuance. . The Company has recorded the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature as interest expense and an increase in paid-in-capital. Interest expense on the convertible debentures was $1,379,077 and $4,283,930 for the year ended October 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Net Loss From Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations decreased 26% % to 4,462,182 for the year ended October 31, 2003 from a net loss of $6,010,861 for the year ended October 31, 2002. The decrease in net loss was primarily the result of the decrease in beneficial conversion interest of $2,904,853 offset by the increase of officer bonuses in the amount of $1,132,882.
Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations was $479,554 for year ended October 31, 2002 as a result of management's election to discontinue non-profitable segments of the Company's operations and to focus on profitable business units as of October 31, 2001. The Company completed the discontinuance at October 31, 2002 and incurred no further expenses from that date.
Liquidity
Net cash (used) by operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2003 was $793,646 compared to $671,211 (used) by operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2002. The $122,435 change, net of non-cash transactions was primarily due to:
a. Accounts receivable increased $147,832 in the year ending October 31, 2003 as compared to a decrease of $73,771 in the year ending October 31, 2002. The net use of operating cash in 2003 is a result of the Company's major customers paying on extended terms instead of the original agreed upon terms.
b. Inventories decreased 41,758 in the year ending October 31, 2003 as compared to an decrease of $71,141 in the year ending October 31, 2002. The net operating cash provided in 2003 is a result of the Company's fulfillment of sales orders and the decision to purchase inventory on an as needed basis due to cash flow restrictions.
c. Prepaid expenses increased $6,057 in the year ending October 31, 2003 as compared to a decrease of $36,127 in the year ending October 31, 2002. The net use of operating cash in 2003 is a result of prepaying for services in order to secure their use in the year ending October 31, 2003.
d. Cash, pledged for letter of credit increased $10,000 in the year ending October 31, 2003. The result of this use of operating cash is due to the Company's major customer requiring the establishment of a letter of credit in order to service rebates.
e. Accounts and notes payable increased 91,401 in the year ending October 31, 2003 as compared to a increase of $509,519 in the year ending October 31, 2002. The increase in cash provided in 2003 is a result of the Company's need to purchase items on a cash basis and therefore being unable to reduce accounts and notes payable by any significant amount in the year ending October 31, 2003.
f. Accrued liabilities and taxes increased $1,199,630 in the year ending October 31, 2003 as compared to an increase of $540,671 in the year ending October 31, 2002. The net increase in cash provided in 2003 is the result of the Company's increase of $735.000 of accrued wages and bonuses and the increase of $313,00 in interest due on convertible debentures in the year ending October 31, 2003.
The Company plans to remedy the deficiency of operating cash flows by increasing income from its new product line and obtaining additional equity investment. As of February 11, 2004, the Company has obtained additional equity investment of $1.1 million.
Our investing activities for the year ended October 31, 2003 used no cash, as compared to $201,365, which was used in the year ended October 31, 2002. The primary change was that the Company received cash from the sale of assets in the amount of $48,635, purchased a mold in the amount of $50,000 for a new product line and purchased Intellectual Property Rights in the amount of $200,000 during the year ended October 31, 2002 and had no investing activities in the year ended October 31, 2003.
Our financing activities for the year ended October 31, 2003 provided cash of $794,838 compared to $866,543 for the year ended October 31, 2002. The primary change was that the Company obtained $686,813 of new debenture financing for the year ended October 31, 2003 compared to $848,723 for the year ended October 31, 2002. Net proceeds from the issuance of common stock was $36,691 for the year ended October 31, 2003 as compared to $79,500 for the year ended October 31, 202. The Company also repaid $55,734 on its note payable factor during the year ended October 31, 2002 and $15,000 during the year ended October 31, 2003.
Capital Resources
Working capital is summarized and compared as follows:
October 31, October 31,
2003 2002
----------- -----------
Current assets $ 203,790 $ 126,416
Current liabilities 6,297,304 4,373,436
----------- -----------
Working capital (deficit) $(6,093,514) $(4,247,020)
=========== ===========
This increase in the deficit in working capital was primarily due to the increase in the convertible debentures, current portion, the increase of accrued interest and the increase of accrued wages and bonuses.
At October 31, 2003, stockholders' deficit was 6,716,685 as compared to a stockholders' deficit of $4,941,782 at October 31, 2002. The $1,726,086 change in stockholders' deficit was accounted for as follows:
Increase in Stockholders' Equity
Issuance of common stock $ 980,129
Conversion of convertible
debentures, net of costs 328,073
Interest expense - convertible
debentures - beneficial
conversion feature 1,379,077
Decreases in stockholders'equity
net loss (4,462,182)
-----------
Net Change $(1,774,903)
===========
The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company has $3,265,837 and $750,000 of debt payments related to convertible debentures due within the next year and next two to five years, respectively. Subsequent to October 31, 2003, $2,023,150 of these debt payments were converted in full to common stock and the remaining balance of $1,992,687 was renegotiated to more favorable terms.
Spin-off
On October 20, 3003, the Board of Directors approved the spin-off of IBIZ, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, into a separate public company.
The Company proposes to issue without consideration non-restricted shares of common stock in IBIZ, Inc. pro rata to all shareholders of the Company as of September 25, 2003 at the ratio of one share of IBIZ, Inc. for each 500 shares of the Company common stock.
The purpose of the spin-off of IBIZ, Inc. is that it will allow management of each business to focus solely on that business. In addition, it should enhance access to financing by allowing the financial community to focus separately on each business.
IBIZ Technology Corp. will continue to distribute its product line in the United States providing sub-licenses for all products to IBIZ, for worldwide distribution. IBIZ, Inc. will sign distribution agreements with IBIZ Technology Corp. for distribution of its products in the United States. IBIZ will support IBIZ Technology Corp. in engineering, production, and business development, through synergetic agreements using Endeavour Capital and its affiliates infrastructure in Europe and Israel.
Current funds available to IBIZ will not be adequate for it to be competitive in the areas in which it intends to operate. IBIZ's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, therefore will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing. IBIZ estimates that it will need to raise up to approximately $1,000,000 over the next 12 months for these purposes.
There is no guarantee that these funding sources, or any others, will be available in the future, or that they will be available on favorable terms. In addition, this funding amount may not be adequate for IBIZ to fully implement its business plan. Thus, the ability of IBIZ to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of IBIZ's business plan. Regardless of whether IBIZ's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet IBIZ's operational needs, IBIZ might seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, IBIZ may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a negative impact on the business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, if additional shares were issued to obtain financing, current shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership in IBIZ.
Acquisition
On February 3, 2004, the Company acquired 5,000,000 Interests, representing all of the Interests, of Synosphere, LLC, ("Synosphere"), in exchange for 30,000,000 shares of common stock. Synosphere is a Plano, Texas based corporation specializing in the development of innovative handheld computer technologies.
The Company entered into employment agreements with two of the current directors/officers of Synosphere. The term of these employee agreements shall be two years following the closing and transferable in the event of a sale of Synosphere to another entity or if Synosphere is spun-off. The employees shall receive annual base salaries of $112,000 and $102,000 per year with healthcare benefits. In addition, each employee shall receive a sign on bonus of 2,500,000 shares of common stock. Furthermore, the employees shall each receive an Earn Out bonus of common stock in eight payments, each made quarterly, in the amount of $62,500. A "golden parachute" clause shall be put in place such that if either of the employee agreements are terminated by the Company or any successor they are payable in full at the date of their termination. Finally, one of the employees shall be appointed to the Company's Board of Directors.
Increase in Cash Subsequent to October 31, 2003
On November 1, 2003, the Company granted an individual the option to purchase 200,000,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of the average closing price for the three days prior to exercise less a 40% discount. The option is exercisable commencing November 1, 2004 and expires after January 15, 2004.
During December 2003, the Company granted an individual the option to purchase 50,000,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of market value at the date of exercise less a 40% discount.
On January 28, 2004, the Company granted Pangea Investments GmbH the option to purchase 100,000,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of market value at the date of exercise less a 50% discount. The option is exercisable commencing January 28, 2004 and expires after January 28, 2014.
As of February 4, 2004, the Company has received approximately $1,098,000 cash as a result of the Company's Option holders exercising their options to purchase shares of common stock.

Dow Jones Newswires
By Carol S. Remond
January 23, 2004
New York ... Taking most market participants by surprise, the National Associations of Securities Dealers has drastically tightened one of its rules governing short selling.
Known as affirmative determination, the NASD rule stipulates that brokers and dealers engaged in a short sale transaction must make sure that shares can be delivered by settlement time, three days later.
"We closed a loophole," said Steve Luparello, executive vice president of Market Regulation at NASD.
Until now, non-NASD members, like specialists, option markets and foreign brokers, weren't covered under the affirmative determination rule. That means that non-NASD members didn't have to represent to the NASD broker through which they conducted a short sale order that they would be able to deliver the stock by settlement date.
A short seller typically borrows stock from a broker to sell it into the market, betting that the share price will fall so that he can buy the stock back at a lower price and pocket the difference.
The amended NASD affirmative determination rule, which was recently approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will particularly affect short sales conducted through foreign brokers, most specifically Canadian brokers which have often been used by investors to sell short the stock of small U.S. companies trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board or OTCBB.
Because it's often impossible to borrow the shares of companies trading on the OTCBB, investors and hedge funds looking to take negative bets on these often-overvalued development-stage companies have traditionally been trading through Canada where it's not required to borrow stock before selling it short. The practice is known as naked shorting.
That trading avenue has now been effectively closed.
The new NASD rule doesn't cover Canadian brokers, since most are not members of the association, instead it makes it the responsibility of U.S. brokers trading with non-members to make sure that their counterparts will be able to settle a transaction before completing a short sale.
"It's part of (a broker's) supervisory responsibilities," NASD's Luparello said, adding that a non-member's previous failures to deliver should be a good indication of whether or not it will in fact be able to complete the transaction by the settlement date.
Market makers engaged in bone fide market making activities will continue to be exempt from affirmative determination.
Luparello said that, unlike a parallel SEC initiative to tighten short selling rules on the small-cap markets, the new NASD rules did not originate from worries over mounting failures to deliver stock into the national clearing system. But Luparello said the amended NASD rule fits nicely with the new short selling regulations now under consideration by the SEC.
"I think it addresses a gap and (shows) that we, like the SEC, are looking at a variety of things in this area," Luparello said.
The NASD proposal was first submitted to the SEC in November 2001, well before alleged abuses of naked shorting became the focal point of a campaign lead by some OTCBB companies in the U.S that say they have been victimized by the practice.
While some investors argue that short sellers provide a needed service to the markets, others have called for the complete abolition of short selling because of the undue pressure its puts on the shares of companies.
While market participants in the U.S. and abroad are well aware of the new short selling regulations being put forward by the SEC, known as Regulation SHO, most said they knew nothing of the NASD's plan before it became final.
"It's taken us by surprise," said Richard Thomas, head of compliance at Canadian brokerage firm Pacific International.
Although separate from it, the amended NASD rule fits tightly within the SEC's SHO which is now under review by the SEC staff after a period during which market participants were invited to comment on it.
As it stands, the new SEC short selling rules will make it easier to short large-cap stocks since they would do away with the "uptick" rule, which bans short selling on a stock when the price is falling.
But it when it comes to the small-cap markets, where it's often impossible to borrow stock, the impact of SHO will be the opposite, making it harder to short sale stock.
The new SEC rule sets a predetermined level of so-called clearing fails - cases in which a broker or investor cannot deliver stock within two days after settlement - which will trigger a 90-day blackout whereby the customer will not be allowed to short sell that security. That 90-day exemption would affect trading of U.S. securities in and outside the U.S.
The new NASD affirmative determination rule will take effect on Feb. 20.

It seems to me its like a volcano building preasure ready to blow its top. the formation is getting tighter and tighter in a triangle... it seems as was said earlier in this thread that people are waiting eagerly to see what happens to pounce, if the news comes out that says keyboards being delivered.... wouldnt that cause a buying spree that would make this thing sore. Unless there is some catastrophic event that blows the factory over or maybe we have all been lied to and the company is a sham (wich i find hard to belive cause they have contracts with circuit city and others.)what could cause this thing to do anything but skyrocket. honestly I would like the bears on this to give me a logical explanation for what would cause this to go down, without of course some news article saying the keyboards have been shiped and have been found to release toxic fumes that kill any one in a 5 mile radious.this is not ment as anything but an honest inquary as to what could happen.
How will the market react? Hardly anyone has seen the actual product & they are heavily backordered!

To me I do not see how it can be 100% accurate, but I may be wrong. If they are producing it it must be rather accurate. Also, I think Ibiz may find other ventures based on the concepts behind this product which would be really great.

Please don't think I'm pumping, I honestly just wanna let my iBIZ buddies know! Anyways, my plan is to make quick money off that, so I can buy more of iBIZ before it goes abnove .04 again!

salemm.
2nd, after doing r/s last year or so, they then had 45 mil o/s Why do they have 2.5 billion o/s now? Thats a lot of shares
Thanks for your responses
only a grand and yo cant sleep.... that explains mmy deliema with more like 10 g
As of February 11, 2004, the registrant had 500,881,020 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, outstanding.
-------------------------------------------
Can you imagine trying to cover when all those short shares figure out that this Co. isn't going to bite the dust?? WOW!
I'm taking a bit of a different tack on IBZT, I'm LONG in it already & have roughly $10,000. invested. My majority entry point was .0021 PPS, so do the math for how many shares I hold. I won't even tell you my GTC price point, because you'd all think I was nuts, but "Bentcash" on RB did a very conservative projection based on 50K units per month & came up with a .30 PPS in 3-6 Months.
Perhaps I'm missing it, but I still don't see the trouble with a R/S.
Regis show will be interesting, especialy if LEO the EGO shows the VKB.
Well, that's it for me. Best of luck to all of us in IBZT. I know we will fly, just don't know when.
Warmest Regards,
Mike

What makes you so sure about PAVP this afternoon? Do you know this CEO to be reputable. MANY of them lie to shareholders. I've spoken to 2 in the past - both liars. One actually said "No RS EVER" and a month later - BOOM!
Also - if the PR comes out - how high do you think it may go?
Thanks for your input,

If that second entry was just the Officers holdings, then it is my very BAD and my apology is extended to all.
I had assumed that it was a report of actual registered shares.

QUOTE FROM LAUGHING:
Fly - You note DAviscupper's analysis yielding a $.30 sahre price in 3-6 months. He uses a 2.5 billion share outstanding (which is approximately the amount people have confirmed with the TA that are outstanding at this time) and yet you imply there are only about 500 million shares outstanding, refering to an SEC document that actually appears to be reporting the share holdings of two of the IBZT officers in the aggregate. I was under the impression that you hold people on the bulletin boards you frequent to high standards of due diligence and come down hard on bashers for inaccuracies - and I sssume would feel the same way about pumpers. The best interest of investors is accurate information on a timely basis. Please don't add to the confusion that many are trying to create about this company, even if it may appear supportive.

His order number is #5094.
It will come via UPS Ground Resedential.
It cost him $99.99 plus $8.86 for shipping.
I'm psyched. Not too much longer now.
Hello! I've sold 3 of these things already.
Now I'm talking to another guy about investing in IBZT even as I type this. So far I've only got two people to invest that I know of.
I'm just one investor doing my part to spread the word.

my guess is they have 2 mil in sales just in back ordered keyboards....not including all there other products that are getting more attention now. minus parts and labor..thats more then the company has ever made. its a giant leap forward but nothing to what is going to happen once this gets out. i know 2 mil isnt a whole lot but its just the begining.. I mean I havent even bought one yet. Im still waiting till I can try it at the store or see reviews. and there are alot more doing the same.

Sorry ......
In 2004, the Company will begin selling it Virtual Laser Keyboard product. The
Virtual Laser Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology and
projects a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. As you type on the laser
projection; it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location.
Unlike many small snap-on keyboards for PDAs, the Virtual Laser Keyboard
provides a full-size keyboard. It is also smaller and more convenient to use
than the folding-type keyboards made by some manufacturers and similar to them
in functionality. There are no mechanical moving parts whatsoever in the Virtual
Laser Keyboard. It provides a projected image that is the perfect portable input
device for PDAs. It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but
extremely futuristic looking. The light weight device weighs two ounces and is
similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Virtual Laser Keyboard
includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the
Virtual Laser Keyboard with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain
any battery power from the PDA or PC(personal computers). The battery lasts
three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS
messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries."
Filing their virtual keyboard campaign to the SEC today validates all that has occurred over the past 10 weeks.
Here's to the next 10 weeks and beyond. Bo

MMs have been trying everything they can to shake shares loose. Spiking the charts with outrageous highs & lows, MM to MM walk down trades, etc. Trouble is, NO ONE is selling!
(IMO)Ever since the VOL dropped, even the DT & Swing traders have been avoiding IBZT.
(IMO) There seems to be a grassroots accumulation & holding pattern here, with everyone just waiting for Ken to pop the major PR.
If there was ever a sure thing in Pennyland IBZT is it. I'm not pumping, it's just my opinion of what I've watched happen with this stock.

I'm sooo sick of hearing scam, scam, scam about Ibiz from bashers and negative people. It gets to you after a while. I almost bought in Oct/Nov, but then read they would not be out for Christmas. I finally bought in Dec. 31st at 8 times the price (.0164) I could have had Christmas week (.002-ish). I've been reading back now to the beginning of last summer, and Ken Schilling has been promising delivery of the VKBs since LAST JULY, and hasn't delivered yet, which is why a lot of bashers are crying foul. Lord knows he's given them some good ammunition. Sometimes , when I start thinking crazy and negative thoughts, I keep reminding myself: Ibiz ALREADY HAS MANY PRODUCTS in Major Stores now for a couple of years. I think maybe he's been a little over-zealous in his promises, as in "Over Promising and Under Delivering". I DON'T think he's perpetrating a fraud here, using CNBC, MSNBC, Tech TV, CeoCast - and sooo many media outlets to help him. God forbid that was the case - I think he KNOWS he'd go to jail for something of this magnitude.
I also believe that he's trying to do EVERYTHING he can to get this ship up and running smoothly. You have to remember - he's pulled a Lazarus here already. After 24 YEARS this company was down and out, unconcsious and had already been given the Last Rites. The 5 or 6 people working there having been living on almost nothing. People bitch that Ken and MArk have sold some stock - So WHAT? They have to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us.
Yes - it would have been GREAT if the Keyboards were out last week, were getting INCREDIBLE rave reviews, and we were all rich - awaiting Blue Dock and the cellphone vkb to get even MORE rich. But it hasn't happened - YET. So we have to be patient - and see how this plays out. I know it's hard because it's been on all our minds since December. The BEST thing we can do when the going gets rough is stay the hell off negative message boards. They can mess with your mind and subliminally convince you to do things you'll later regret!
Best of Luck to All of us,
Steve
I posted before too "I'm tire of all these bulletin baord bull$hits... I'll just wait till end of March to find out myself..."
Well I am tire of all the bull$hits... People just guessing and guessing and guessing, so I dun read bulletin board anymore... I'm just comin back today just to glance what bull****s are posting again... Just dun care bout it till keyboard comes out...
It means they have a working model & ready to do some planing for production.
That's all that's important to me. By the time Blue Dock hits the shelves I'm betting well over one million VKBs have been sold.
I'm talking Cristmas!

Yes neo you are correct. I was runing EMT at a bank the day I registered on to ALLSTOCKS. I seem to have a bad habit of bending doglegs in my conduit,it was fresh on my mind so I used it for my user name. After I thought about it I decided to change it to SPARKY because most people would not know what dogleg ment, and some might think it was weird. I can't seem to be abel to change my username to SPARKY on my profile. If any one knows how to do this please let me know. Anyway I do injoy the people on this bord and have gained a lot of knowledge from your insights.Thank you Oil, Millte, Bart, Dardog, Neo, and others for there Posts. And I can't forget PG for giving us the negative side of things.

CEO Cast says...................
iBIZ Technology Corporation (OTCBB: IBZT), a developer of innovative PDA technologies, announced that its subsidiary Synosphere, LLC will showcase Blue Dock™, the world's first docking station to allow a PDA to function as a primary computing platform in a desktop environment, without the need for an additional workstation or laptop, at the CeBit Show in Germany this week. Earlier this year, the exposure that IBZT received for its products at the Consumer Electronics Show was a major catalyst for the stock, and if the company makes a splash at this event the stock could rally sharply again. It ended the week at $0.036.
Yea! & when the VKBs hit the shelves that just might cause another little rally. Looks to me like things are setting up nicely!

There are morons on RB claiming that $500 and some odd thousand dollars of the $650k are due to the circuit city orders, but this cant be true since the filing is for the quarter ENDING on jan. 31st.

Tim; I'm posting a quote from you over there right now! The good news is smart money already knows Mad Dog Media's order for over $500,000 goes on the next earnings! Believe that! Watch the response to these earnings tomorrow & then get happy, cause we haven't even presented in Germany yet & VKBs will be hitting the shelves soon enough!

Keep in mind we've just bounced off of a concrete .03 base & even with the recent little climb we remain oversold. With that in mind look at this post then click Dragon's chart & don't forget,,,

Greetings from GERMANY !!!!
CeBIT will be GREAT this year ... here in Germany and I hope IBIZ's VKB will become GREAT too !
Anyway it's a great product ! This year on CeBIT there's much talking about UMTS mobile phones and I've heard IBIZ will provide also an new virtual keyboard especially for mobile phones. So this product could become great too, because with UMTS-handys you can surf the internet with 6 times faster speed then ISDN-speed and so there will be a really chance to use the mobile handy for it....but anyway you will need a small keyboard for these mobile phones to surf the internet because with the little keys on the mobile phone itself it isn't real possible. So a virtual keyboard would be great ! ..for example to answer e-mails.
I think there's a real great potential for IBIZ to become a big player in this market !
Ciao

I was not surprised by todays events! Happy yes! Suprised no!
Neo! Our earnings damn sure didn't disappoint anyone & we bounced really hard off of .03 which became one solid base. With that in mind I want you to know that .04 represented only minimal resistance. Remember we are STILL oversold. When we break .07/.08 you will see major resistance broken & then all the wild noise about .32 will not seem so wild.
There's a good chance that could happen Friday or Monday. No promises but if we do break that line of resistance the next couple of days I se .32 by Wednesday or even as early as Tuesday.
If Dragon updates his chart I will post it here as soon as I see it! He did one hell of a good job breaking that down!

Or we get a PR about CEBIT and in this case, the PPs will fly again OR we don't get this PR and the price will go up again but like 10% or so. But my feeling is that we will ge this PR and we will see another GREEN day.

HANOVER, GERMANY - Sony's president opened the Cebit trade show on Wednesday evening with a speech that highlighted the show's emphasis on wireless data services and the convergence of computing, telecommunications and the Internet.

Kunitake Ando, Sony's president and chief operating officer, became the first executive from an electronics and entertainment company to open the giant trade show, which is being held in Hanover, Germany, and to make his point he was introduced on stage by two of Sony's latest talking robots.
"IT, communications and entertainment are all coming together," Ando said. "A world of connected devices is emerging with new applications and content that will delight consumers."
Sony, Nokia and Koninklijke Philips Electronics on Thursday morning will announce their joint development of a new wireless technology to further the steady advance of wireless computing, he said. He offered no details but devoted much of his speech to the rapid growth of wireless multimedia services.
"Our vision is to create a world where, regardless of the codec (coder-decoder) or operating system, users will be able to connect with anyone and enjoy content in a protected manner," he said.
Eight out of every 10 cell phones sold in Japan today are equipped with a digital camera, and customers use their phones to download songs, music videos and movie trailers, he said. Such devices, combined with the emerging 3G (third-generation) mobile data networks, provide a richer wireless experience that is like "the difference between listening to radio and watching color television," he said.
This year's Cebit marks the real start of the broadband era, in which the experience of end users will be transformed through the delivery of digital services tailored to their personal tastes, he said.
Ando was followed by German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who discussed the importance of economic and social policies to advance the prosperity of Germany and the stability of the European Union.
Germans will be able to use digital signatures for all legal and business activities by the end of 2005, he said. And by the end of the decade, half of its citizens will have a broadband Internet connection and all television content will be digitized, he said.
Proper training and education are essential if all Germans are to become part of the "information society," he said. In mobile services, Germany has caught up with Sweden and Britain and is ahead of the U.S., he said.
Willi Berchtold, president of the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media, or "Bitkom," opened the ceremony by heralding the arrival of an upturn in the economy after years of decline.
"This year's Cebit will carry the following message: The lean years are behind us and ahead are years of growth," he said.
Bitkom forecasts 4 percent growth in worldwide IT spending for 2004, with 3 percent growth in Europe and 2.5 percent for Germany, he said.
thats a huge problem.. i suggest to all of u to just ride the hype of ibzt and leave wiht any gain u can make on this... unless somethimg is done about the OS this company cannot make true revenue to back their market cap... right now the theoretical market cap of IBZT is over 200 million... thats cleary unreasonable even with their whopping 2 million dollars in backorder.. and it snot like that 2 million is all profit... think smart you knew guys and do not fall for all the ignorant pumping here.. if u want real advice just send a message on my msn messenger at o4foshoDD@hotmail.com...
hope this helps u new guys
RED YOUR POST AND YOUR 100% CORRECT AND IF ANYONE DISAGREE'S WITH YOU, THEY ARE 100% OUT OF THEIR TREE.
ONE PROBLEM THOUGH:
IBZT IS A PINKIE AND ALL WHAT YOU POST DOES NOT APPLY TO A PINKIE AT .04 LOOKING FOR .08-.10
Future announcements will make this stock run hard. Be well, Bo

PHOENIX, Mar 18, 2004 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Synosphere, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of iBIZ Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT), a developer of innovative PDA technologies, announced today it has filed two new patent applications and two new word marks expanding its intellectual property portfolio.

The post I made on March 16 (a day before the current move) "opiate" reposted here on allstocks. That should answer a lot of questions on how they have become debt free and used stock leveraging to finance their future. I just want to restate it in a way that is hopefully even more clear.
The reason stock leveraging will work in this case, versus many situations where it doesn't is simple and fundemental to the theory itself. IBIZ exceeded all expectations in being able to attract publicity, television coverage, newsprint coverage and consumer interest.
Many companies who try stock leveraging do not succeed becauee their message and/or product does not gain any traction in the marketplace or in the financial community.
IBIZ has "cutting edge" ideas for today's shrinking technology. With VKB, Bluedock & FM radio cards, they have an inroad to cell phones and pda's. Smartphones that are out now are as powerful as many 2 and 3 year old PC's. I am very close to people who work in this industry and they know and tell me what will be emerging over the next 6 months to 2 years. When I tell them about the virtual keyboard and bluedock, they smile and shake their head, knowing what IBIZ offers will be the perfect adaptation of these shrinking technologies.
If you are new to trading, MM's are having their last runs at naked short selling. After April 1st, naked short selling will be illegal. Also, after April 1st anyone who short sells a stock normally can only do so on an uptick.
The MM's who we scratch our heads at sometimes, will very soon be our best friends. They take the path of least resistance. IBIZ's stock has shown, when left to market forces without MM's taking control to trade it down amongst themselves, the price runs hard. From now, until as far as I can see, very encouraging announcements will be our fuel to drive the prie higher. After April 1st, it will be MM's that lead the way.
Remember that a few of us have been in this one since late December or very early January. Yet, we are still VERY excited about the prospects of the VKB and Bluedock. Very soon, the masses will know as well. Very soon, both the market and the MM's will be our best friend, and you'll be so glad you got in when you did. Be well, Bo

I believe the company issued 7 million new shares yesterday. They appear to be using CEBIT to drum up some money. I hope there done because in my very humble oppinion, even before deliveries, a serious run just got stalled. That's just my take.

This is still trackin'... and moving higher.
chart looks positive ;-) nothing has changed really... except this has moved higher a bit.
looking like it will move up within a few days but consolidating at this time to build against some resistance. once it has enough momentum, it will breakout big and nothing will stop this once that happens.

...the news was out friday....and they said the VKB inside this Siemens mobile phone SX1 (shown on CeBIT, Halle 26 Stand A.31/C.32) is from IBIZ. Such a mobile phone is not made from one day to the other day, so I think there must be a longer co-operation between Siemens and IBIZ then we know. And remember...last year Siemens already shown such an VKB too. The VKB wasn't born in 2003 ... the idea is much older...but now (for the first time) there's a really working (!) VKB available....that's new. And anyway ... if there will be a really co-operation with hard facts and contracts I'm sure...we will hear about ASAP.

found this on siemens web page ...talks about keyboard but says nothing about ibzt
Virtual Keyboards -- Relief is at Hand
Tired of pecking at tiny keyboards? Well now, relief is at hand. A virtual keyboard -- a representation of the real thing that can be projected on any flat surface -- will be available from Siemens worldwide this Fall. The projection even responds with a reassuring "click" every time you "press" a key. Just hook up a device about the size of a mobile phone to your PDA, computer, or other exasperatingly small device and go to work. A laser diode transmits an image of a standard-sized keyboard, which appears in front of the user as a red image. An infrared system transmits users' finger movements to a chip, which, in turn, determines the sequence of typed letters and reports this to the connected device. The system, which is expected to sell for around $100, responds to a maximum of 120 keystrokes per minute even in very bright surroundings. Developed by VKB Inc. of Jerusalem, Israel, the device offers an attractive solution for physicians who need both sterile and mobile computers in operating theaters. "Now mobile phones and PDAs can at last have a decent-sized keyboard," explains Boaz Arnon, CEO of VKB Inc. "This will allow many users to leave their laptops at home." (06/02/4)

There was discussion about seimens and them haveing a laser keyboard, awhile back but I belive we came to the conclusion that they must have scraped there keyboard program for some reason. either that is what happened and now they are just leasing the technology from ibiz, or they have another liscence from vkb to sell the keyboard in another form or something, I dont belive anyone found info stating the aggrement that had been made between vkb and ibiz as far as restrictions on letting other companys use the technology, but one thing I do know is that first to market wins and that will be ibiz... that phone showed by siemens is a prototype but it is not in production as far as we know and it is for sure not for sale... where as the ibiz model is for sale.... so as far as the shock and awe value ibiz has it.... wether or not ibiz's cell phone version will be out before siemens is unknown...
I have writen ibiz to ask about the siemens thing and will let you know if I get a response.... feel free to write vkb and ask them questions as well.....

Looks like the Siemens phone will have the VKB licenced by IBZT!! WHOOTT!!!
Any clues how BIG this is??
Wait till Cowboy hears this, he'll have a heart attack!!
GLTA IBZT LONGS
The Seimens phone is not in production yet. The reason they do not have a stand alone keyboard that will work with computors PDAs & phones is because IBZT holds that license. In any event IBZTs VKB will be hitting the shelves a solid year before anyone else even gets a single application to the market. Matter of fact IBZT will have a Blue Tooth wireless VKB before Seimens model is here. Seimens saw the "wow" facter that IBZT got in Vegas & using it as a draw to compete with the other mobile phone companies. They are not a threat. JMVHO!
------------------
whizknock
in my opinion it's clear....in the article from this friday:
http://www.psionwelt.de/news/start1.php3?start=0
was written: "SIEMENS does have a WORKING prototype of the SX1-mobile-phone with integrated laser keyboard shown on CeBIT-2004"...and further in text..."that from IBIZ licensed 'virtual key board'..."
So in my opinion all is very clear:
1) IBIZ has the license for this VKB !
(from which firm IBIZ get this license is not interesting, because if they have the license, then only IBIZ have the rights and no other has the right to make an own VKB because patents are unique and protected! And "License" normally = "The Rights of a patent!")
2) SIEMENS show this WORKING mobile-phone-prototype NOW on the worlds largest computer show CeBIT in Hanover/Germany) ... so it's only a question of the time till we see this mobile phone on the market and many other mobile-phone-manufacturers (Ericson, Motorola, Nokia, Alcatel...) will follow them.
3) And as I heard already in older statements of IBIZ (take a look at the press-releases) they already working on a version for mobile phones which one shall come out in Q3-Q4/2004.
And at least....think real guys....think about!....isn't it the next step to build in a VKB inside mobile-phones and PDA's !?!?
My answer is a BIG YES !!!
Inside the next UMTS mobile-phones you have built in PDA-functions, colored TFT-screens to surf the internet with 6 times faster speed then ISDN, you can receive and send e-mails, pictures, videos and many more....so what do you think? ..what would you buy if you have the choice between a mobile-phone with all this functions and the normal very small keys or a mobile-phone with inside VKB ?
Think about !....it's only a question of time till we see much much more applications for this virtual laser keyboard (VKB) !
Ciao ... and sorry for my english ;-)
[This message has been edited by mr_dresipent (edited March 21, 2004).]
As far as embeded VKBs, Ken has already said they're working on many exciting applications & has even mentioned phones & PDAs.
I'm still looking forward to getting the stand alone VKBs on the shelves.

I've an other question. I've read an article ( http://www.golem.de/showhigh.php?file=/0209/21786.html&wort[]=canesta ) there was written that CANESTA ( http://www.canesta.com/index.htm ) is the firm who build the hardware-chipset for the virtual keyboard which one can later built in devices like PDA's, mobile-phones,...
What's the role of CANESTA in this "game" ?
Use IBIZ the CANESTA chipset ?
On http://www.canesta.com/patents.htm you can see Canesta does own many patents ... does IBIZ use this patents ? ...these are the same patents like vor VKB Ltd. Israel ( http://www.vkb.co.il/ )?
Ciao

Ciao
the spot I have --- ---- is interesting ...it says they dont even know if they are bringing it to market... I think they might be waiting to see what response ibiz gets from consumers....and in my opinion from what I see there is no evidence that siemens is paying ibiz or working with ibiz on this project..I think siemens may be going through vkb some how...
I think Siemens was always looking for partners, see (the old) link here:
http://www.golem.de/0210/22426.html
But anyway Siemens don't have the license to built the VKB...they only want to use the VKB-chipset for there products !
And IBIZ will sell there VKB in Germany in April 2004, see that link:
http://www.golem.de/showhigh.php?file=/0403/30261.html&wort[]=ibiz
For me not fully clear is the role of CANESTA ( http://www.canesta.com/ ) ?!
Could it be....VKB Ltd. Israel was the first firm who invented the product.....CANETSA then make the hardware-chipset and sell them to different OEM's like Siemens, IBIZ, and so on ... and IBIZ is "only" the first of these OEM's who bring out an already working and on the market available VKB ?
What do you think ? Could bring anybody some "light" into this ? ...or ask the IBIZ-investor management directly what are the facts ? ...would be good in any case !
Ciao
Last Question: If CANESTA is the firm who build the chipsets isn't it better to invest in this firm ? But I cannot find any shares for CANESTA. Do they have public shares?
I would hope that the reporter did not assume the linkage between Siemens and IBIZ, rather actually ask questions of both vendors while there. The latter would be the more likely scenerio, which would be out of this world news for IBIZ. It would seem to follow what Ken advises that Cell/Smartphone keyboards would be introduced to market this summer.
However, hopefully future announcements or some other form of confirmation can be established before we assume too much.
Such linkage as reported in this article would have me smiling. Bo
GLTY & ALL IBZT LONGS

The VKB being used on PDA's and such is in a couple weeks.

WHIZ: I have followed those German exchange on this as well as other stocks. They are totally showing a false picture. I have never seen one stock go up that the German market shows up. Not one. Exmp IBZT today taking a hit. I hope it comes back by the end of the day. Sure wish we could get some #s. They need to get this thing off the assembly line and into the stores. I am bigger bull than ever and bought more this morn at .04. The stuff I read on the siemen is similar to Ibiz. If I am wrong you please let me know. It is just a matter of time before we are off to the races again. I feel all the other stuff now will do very little to move us big time. We need #s. Thats all end of story.

I am the biggest bull of all and have been for a long time. I am trying to help you guys out for the last time. #######s. I still am waiting for someone to quote me where it is that siemens and ibiz are linked. Similar yes the same no.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I see people throw the word "long" around all the time, but I am seriously long. My savings is in this, and when it hits either the date, or number I specified, then I'm out. Until then, I will just B.S. with you guys here!

Go to that site and look at the screen that the guy is typing too. It says "AVAIALABLE" not available. Hopefully that was just a spelling error on his part and not a mistake in the keyboard!
Also, there is some great news just about it....."iBIZ Technologies mutatta volna be a BlueDock-t is, de "technikai" okokból ez nem valósult meg."
Well, it sounds pretty good to me anyway.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know why we go down...maybe it's the market, because now the whole market is down, not only IBZT.
And I think now the share-price is only made by psychology. What we need is:
1) They must really sell the product (VKB) as fast as possible ?
2) PR with numbers ! (good earnings releases!)
3) PR of new products, new co-operations, ... !
So at all... WE NEED FACTS! ...and no more speculations ! Then, maybe (or sure) we will see some significant up of the share-price on big volume !
So now....sleep for a while and don't take every minute a look on this share !

I am bigger bull than ever and bought more this morn at .04. The stuff I read on the siemen is similar to Ibiz. If I am wrong you please let me know. It is just a matter of time before we are off to the races again. I feel all the other stuff now will do very little to move us big time. We need #s. Thats all end of story.
Bart, you sure called that right! I'm not trading this syock & waiting for a payday of much greater proportions. Anyway good luck to you.

NEW YORK, March 25 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) will delay global sales of its iPod mini digital music player due to stronger-than-expected demand in the United States, where it began shipping in February, the computer maker said on Thursday.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, said demand in the United States has outstripped planned supply through the end of June. The company, which based the product on its larger iPod music player, said it will ramp up manufacturing to meet demand in the July quarter.
In February, the company had said that it planned to ship the $249 music player worldwide in April.
The time has come for people to start getting their VKBs!

I did buy some WNMI & hope it keeps running. If it takes off I'll take some profits from that to beef up my position in IBZT. You're both right, Sex Sells! Over the long haul I think IBZT out performs WNMI by a far cry. My belief is we too have a very sexy product in that VKB & who knows what else is on the drawing board. I just hope WMNI's run lasts long enough & high enough "before" anyone screams they got their VKB & love it! I badly want alittle more of this stuff!

Do you (NEO) have any predections on what this stock will look like next year at this time?
I would also, like to thank the people on this site that put out the time and effort in doing the research for this stock I have read just about everything posted on here.

Nice buy. Your position will catch up to me yet, I did the same thing, "put my $$$ where my mouth is". Sitting at 5.025 Mil & buying every share I can on the dips.
Though no one can predict a stocks' rise or fall, I feel confident in IBZT & Ken to bring this to market and do it right.
Next week should prove very interesting * I'm expecting a PR barrage after APL 2.

40,000 in gross profit for the quarter ending jan 31. Keep in mind this DOES NOT incliude the 600k order on behalf of circuit city or any VKB preorders. This is beaccsue the maddog media order was in feb and credit cards from the vkb preorders will not be billed until the vkb's are shipped. The quarter before that the company only had 3,000 in gross profit. The company did lose alot more money in the Q ending jan 31, but that is because it costed they money to tool up and build the VKB.
btw, what does it mean when gross profit is hgher, but overall revenue is lower?[This message has been edited by TimN88 (edited March 27, 2004).]
How will this effect the stock prices Monday?

That is a healthy position Fly! I'm not there but very happy with my little 250,000. I do not think we hear a thing next week. I think we get a barrage of very good news the week of April 5th to the 9th which is ok with me.
------------------
whizknock
The only reason I have a position like this is because I did initial DD back in early DEC 03, liked what Ken had done to date (EPS went from (.24) to (.02) & had just finished an IT contract (had about $10K reserved). So, I bought in @ .0021 and have been adding to it ever since. (Just flat out got lucky with this one.)
I almost sold @ .075, but then I found RB & when I saw the Army of bashers and the way they were rabidly tearing at the Co., I knew there was tremendous money to be made holding.
I've not flipped or traded this. The profit margin on IBZT once shipping begins is just too huge to take the chance.
Well, that's my story in a nutshell.
I'll see all the IBZT longs on the other side of APL 2.
GLTA
Warmest Regards,
Mike
I agree! That army of bashers really says something. When people post negative info without even a hint of a positve slant they have an agenda. When they spend all day doing it they're getting a pay-off one way or the other. Basically it just becomes a powerful buy signal.
I'm looking for a nice move when we get some news for no other reason than the anticipation that has been built from the delays. However I will not be surprised by a slow move because I also believe smart money is already here.
Good luck to you Fly.

Subject: VKB on Ebay
I'm probably the "longest" stockholder of Ibiz; I've owned Ibiz
stock since 1999 so you know I'm in for the duration. As most of
you I was hoping for some PR or announcement this weekend.
I saw the ad on Ebay for the VKB, here's the
link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3087005021
I decided to ask if the Ebayer had a VKB and what it was like. The
response I got was interesting, here it is:
*****************************************
I actually don't have one physically in my hands just yet, but have
pre-order a few do to this product's popularity. According to my
sources, the company expects to start shipping by the end of March.
If you like, I'd be happy to pre-order one for you as well.

Don't be disappointed if the keyboards still aren't shipped by April 5-9th. Those dates are only approximate, imo. All online retailers have had to change/re-estimate the availabilty dates a few times now. It may be another month or even two - depending on any production glitches. I hope not - but some of us have been waiting for this keyboard since LAST July and will be happy to see it by THIS July - and definitely for Christmas. I'm glad I didn't order any for presents - I would have disappointed a few people by now.

They are not giving out any specific date, he said the date on the website is tentative, and to call back the next day to see if they received a shipment. The reason for this is due to previous failed ship dates.
I asked the rep if he'd seen one yet. He was at a show recently and was able to play with it. He said it works very well. He mentioned it does take some getting used to since you don't get any feedback from 'hitting the desk' as opposed to a regular keyboard where you do. It takes some time to get used to 'where' the keys are, so initially you will have to look at the desk to see where they are.

Low volume may be due to traders/investors being cautious about the Naked Short rule going into affect today. Some believe it makes a difference while others dont. Purl Gurl has some great insight pertaining to this (as well as almost everthing else to!). Just an idea though. I noticed low vol. around the market as well.

IBIZ has know direct relationship with VKB. Our relationship is with
Enterprise Capital AG who has one of two licenses with VKB to build an
accessory. Enterprise is contracted with Digitek in Tel Aviv to build the
Virtual Keyboard and accordingly they will begin shipping in the next few
days provided we approve the final articles from the factory. Digitek is
building several thousand units and on our approval will begin shipping mass
quantities during this month. The only things left to be done is for us to
approve the final drivers, everything else has been approved. The drivers
are currently written by VKB in Israel and we're testing those drivers every
day as well as revisions recommended by our staff. The product will ship.

Greetings, I am very interested in purchasing one of your VKB keyboards. I see on your website that you are unsure of shipping dates. Can you tell me if we are looking at one week, one month, or indefinite amount of time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Read the email i got from ken schilling about 3 posts up. He explained it all to me. The VP of VKB verified this, saying that they only develop the software and do R&D, they dont manufacture the product.

Budge, there's alot of gaueded optimism on this thing & these VKBs are not priced into this share price. There appears to be a lot of money on the side lines waiting for this to ship. Read all the different boards. I do.
People are anxious & stating they're sitting
on free shares. Many continue to say they are still accumulating. I am! When those VKBs start ariving at peoples homes we will see the share price go up. JMVHO!

Both applications are for new and upcoming products, currently in development, that expand the feature set of handheld computers and smart phones. The first application relates to a family of PDA productivity accessories and the second to a unique PDA multimedia accessory. Further details shall be released next quarter.
“These new patent applications shall help protect our future products when they are released to market. Patents, when granted, help create barriers to market entry and product licensing opportunities," said Bryan Scott, CEO of Synosphere. "We are excited about all of our products that are in development and look forward to their future release"
In addition, Synosphere has filed two word marks in order to protect brand identity. One of the word marks is for the Blue Dock (TM), a PDA docking station, currently in development, that allows a PDA to function as a primary computing platform in a desktop environment, without the need for an additional workstation or laptop. Further details regarding the second word mark shall be released next quarter
{I saw this onsynosphere.com) its not new news but I was just wondering about it because I say another post on a diffrent board saying that sysnosphere was coming out with another product wich is a pen that when you use it, it stored what you write in side the pen and then later the pen can be docked into your palm or pc and down load what was writen with the pen. if anyone knows anything about this please fill me in.... thanks
April 5, 2004. (FinancialWire) Friday’s “official” end to “naked short-selling,” when U.S. brokers could no longer take orders from Canadian and other brokers without a sure-fire “affirmative determination,” resulted in substantive price variations in more than a dozen of the companies identified as having been victimized by manipulative trading.
The leading gainers were Composite Holding (OTC: COHIA) and Vista Continental (OTCBB: VICC), both up 33.33%, Biocurex (OTCBB: BOCX), ahead 31.46%, and Paystar Corp. (OTC: PYSX), up 28.57%.
Other significant advancers were Accident Prevention Plus (OTCBB: ACPL), ahead 25%, Genemax Corp. (OTCBB: GMXX), up 22%, and Cyber Digital (OTCBB: CYBD), ahead 20%.
There were also significant decliners, including Pinnacle Business Management (OTC: PCBM), down 33.33%, Ten Stix, Inc. (OTCBB: TNTI), off 25.33%, American Motorcycle (OTC: AMCY), down 23.53%, Eagletech Communications (OTC: EATC), off 18.18%, Orbit E-Commerce (OTCBB: OECI), down 16.67%, and BIFS Techs Corp. (OTC: BIFT), off 13.64%.
Recently, renowned columnist, Jack Anderson, who writes the “Washington Merry-Go-Round,” alleged that much of the naked short selling in small cap stocks drains small U.S. companies of their market caps and their small investors of their nest-eggs specifically to funnel money into terrorist hands, a sort of double-whammy against the American capitalist system.
“The USA Patriot Act, adopted in October 2001, expanded the scope of U.S. money-laundering rules in order to make it harder for terrorists to move money without attracting attention. It includes beefed-up know-your-customer requirements for some financial institutions, according to some legal experts” said the U.S. financial newspaper.
Recently, leading market makers and brokers named in various lawsuits and other actions, including FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ:MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion’s (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group and vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN). A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), were given a “reprieve” until April 5 to comply with new short-selling market regulations imposed by the NASD after the SEC had “sat on” the NASD request to plug material loopholes for almost 2-1/2 years.
For some in the industry, the fact that the new date coincides with “April Fool” was not lost.
The NASD noticed its members that it is “delaying the effective date of amendments to Rule 3370 (Prompt
Receipt and Delivery of Securities—the "Affirmative Determination" Rule) approved by the SEC in November 2003, until April 5, 2004.
“The amendments expand the scope of the affirmative determination requirements to include orders received from broker/dealers that are not members of NASD ("non-member broker/dealers").
The new rule is on the web at http://www.nasdr.com/2610_2004.asp#04-03
The rule itself, while welcomed by small companies and their shareholders in the U.S., nevertheless raised an outcry because the NASD’s request to put it into effect had set on a shelf at the SEC since 2001.
Recent wrist slaps have involved Falcon Research, Inc., fined $10,000, SG Cowen Securities Corporation, fined $230,000, and Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc., fined $35,000.
Meanwhile, CBS Marketwatch, a venture between Marketwatch (NASDAQ: MKTW) and Viacom’s (NYSE: V) CBS unit, has suggested that victims of securities fraud may be able to file for theft claims on tax returns instead of capital losses.
The scandal has embroiled hundreds of companies and dozens of brokers and marketmakers, in a web of internaitional intrigue, manipulative short-selling and cross-border accusations and denials.
Comments on Regulation SHO ended January 5, and may be viewed at http://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/s72303.shtml .
Some 122 companies, including 13 brokers, such as FleetBoston (NYSE: FBF), Goldman, Sachs & Co. (NYSE: GS), H. Myerson & Co., Inc. (NASDAQ:MHMY), Olde / H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH), Toronto-Dominion’s (NYSE: TD), TD Waterhouse Group and vFinance, Inc. (OTCBB: VFIN). A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:AMTD), Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB), and ETrade Group, Inc. (NYSE: ET), have been embroiled for over a year in a raging controversy
The remaining 109 companies among the 122 named to date have issued press releases or been named in the media as having been victimized, or as taking various actions, either alone or in concert with other companies, to oppose manipulative trading in the form of illegal naked short selling. The actions have ranged from lawsuits to withdrawals and threatened withdrawals from the electronic trading system managed by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., to withdrawals from toxic financings, to the issuance of dividends or name changes designed to squeeze manipulators, to joining associations or networks or to contacting regulatory authorities to provide documentation of abuses or otherwise complain.

That's good if it's true. Unfortunately, Logitech already beat them to it. It's called the Logitech IO Personal Digital Pen...Selling for $200 on their website.
some good news. If they can do what they claim and get into the european market, that would be very good for them. This PR also explains that its Enterprise AG that makes the keyboard, and VKB that develops the software for it.

New Laser Keyboard and Other Devices Attract Crowds and Attention at World's
Largest Computer Fair
PHOENIX, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (BB:IBZT), an innovative manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other handheld devices, announced today the overwhelming response to its new products at CeBIT earlier this month in Hannover, Germany. The company showcased the revolutionary Virtual Laser Keyboard built by Enterprise Capital AG and powered by VKB's technology of Jerusalem, Israel. The company also debuted the SD card based FM radio and several other products for handheld devices at CeBIT, the world's largest computer trade show, where it secured attention from the international press and distributors.
"Our products, as well as the Virtual Laser Keyboard, met with huge acclaim at CeBIT, and the show was a tremendous success from our standpoint," commented Sharon Weshler, Director of Sales for Enterprise Capital AG. "On the strength of this show, we are now in a great position to break into the European market."
iBIZ's presence at CeBIT was a major success for the US-based company, which achieved its goals for penetrating Europe and beyond. iBIZ was approached by numerous consumer electronics distributors and retailers from all over Europe and Asia and expressed keen interest in bringing iBIZ products to European markets.
Mentioned Last Change
IBZT 0.037 (Unchanged)
Media attention was extensive. The Virtual Laser Keyboard was a featured product in both the U.S. Pavilion and Hannover Fair. The major German broadcast media, particularly N24 TV and SAT1 TV, as well as the WDR European radio network, covered the Virtual Laser Keyboard. In all, more than 50 reporters visited the iBIZ booth, including journalists from both online and print media from all over Europe. iBIZ is currently in the process of developing European-supported keyboard layouts that will reach the European market this summer. The company is also developing USB (Universal Serial Bus) support. Bluetooth support will be available by year-end.

Yep it doesn't get any simpler than that! Can't get my shares at gun point.
I think what interests me is how many people call themselves longs & then express impatience within months of buying in. That's not a long term attitude & it's also why stocks are so volatile.

It's just hard when you've begged your good friends to trust you on a stock tip and they finally relent and put a buttload of cash on a stock you're sure will go up right away. Well, my freinds bought a .063 and it just kept going down. So now I'm the idiot!
Come on IBIZ!!!!! Make daddy happy!
No more complaining! The mood on this board used to be awesome! Now you have to go to Qbid for that kind of gay-ity!

Its the Bluetooth version that is coming out later this year. I read June/August, but on VKB's site they list it as 'available' already. So I don't know what time frame iBiz has for it. Will post when I get more concrete info on it.
Note: I updated my previous post to reflect the correction of USB-Bluetooth.

- I agree, cuz I bought plenty over a nickel! It's just that Qbid keeps offsetting my losses on Ibiz lately.
What they need to do is climb into bed together and give me the climax I need!

Greetings, I am very interested in purchasing one of your VKB keyboards. I see on your website that you are unsure of shipping dates. Can you tell me if we are looking at one week, one month, or indefinite amount of time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards

The Bull is back. I know this for certain. My spam tells me so.
This one, for example.
*** URGENT INVESTOR TRADING ALERT *** (XXXX) is our PLAY OF THE MONTH stock pick.
And this ....
**Our Picks Are On Fire!** ... Rising oil prices at record highs with no signs of dropping have set the stage for a major windfall in an emerging developer of high-profit based oil and gas reserves. (XXXX shares) are set to explode based on expanded production through strategic partnerships for producing fields in 4 major oil-producing states.
You're probably getting similar come-ons. And you should recognize them as come-ons ... stupid, fraudulent, invitations to throw away your money.
You remember the pump and dump, right? That's where a certain someone buys stock in a company, then goes to message boards, chat rooms, and spam e-mail lists to talk other people into buying it. Their sudden surge in buy orders sends the stock price up, allowing the certain someone to unload his stock at a profit.
Get it? He pumped up the value of the stock, then dumped it.
Usually it is a penny stock with little in the way of research or analyst coverage. With such low values and limited shares, even small buying waves can lead to big jumps. The companies often don't even know it's happening (that's why I left their names out of the e-mails cited above).
This scam was common in the late 1990s, when Internet stock trading came of age. A few people got convicted for it. One 15-year old made $273,000 by running such a scam (he had to give it back). Wall Street had its own bigger time version of it, issuing research that over-hyped some stocks, even when the stock was being trashed in house.
The numbers back up my unscientific observations that market scamming is on the rise.
According to Brightmail, a San Francisco outfit that monitors and filters e-mail for clients around the world, financial based spam has been on the rise and as of March accounted for one out of every four e-mails.
Straight out scam and fraud e-mails (like the Nigerian guy asking to use your account to park a few million dollars) have fallen. They made up about 12 percent of e-mails, down from 15 percent in February.
So why am I taking the resurgence of such e-mails as a positive sign?

Manage alerts | What is this?
Because it means that scammers and schemers think enough gullible investors are coming to the market to make it worth their while to run the old pump and dump. The market, in other words, must be really coming back to attract the charlatans.
Sure, it's a cynical way of looking at market improvement, but hey, I gotta be me.
Now, does this mean we're at the top? I don't think so. I'm still getting more Viagra/Cialis and pharma spam than financial spam. But the finance spam is starting to build.
When the ratio gets to be even, that's when I'll call the top.
As for shipment leaving the factory, I don't recall reading anything official about it yet, although it should be any day now and maybe already at iBiz. Once the drivers are given the OK, I'm sure we'll see a PR about it... something like iBiz Corp is now filling their backlog of orders and will be shipping out units to retailers over the next few weeks due to extremely high demand.. etc etc...

The more hopes you have, the more disappointment you will be if it doesnt arrive... So just let whatever happens happens... Stop worrying about it too much and stop checking up on it every singe seconds... Checking up on it every single seconds not gonna help anything...

No offence but you're dead wrong!
Hope does not = diappointment.
Expectations can lead to disappointment but hope is a very healthy principal that allows us to cope with disappointment.

I belive they are going to ship that first 600 very soon and my guess is that it is that small of a number so that they can feel it out to make sure there is no problems and no recall!!!! thats the last thing we need!
At some point we will look back on this & be glad we held strong.

Neo;
I think that's the best senerio I've heard as they make more profit off of the internet orders anyway!
Did you notice the message about VKB being priced in already. What I know is we've been holding very strong in this range on low volume, almost flat line. That indicates smart money, not traders. My belief is traders will be in & out after the first VKBs arive. They, along with new investers who are waiting to take a position after they are convinced that IBZT is a company, will walk this thing up!

Over a billion people in China. Let's say we only sell 100 million. That's a mere fraction of what's possible. What if we only sell 10 million. Wouldn't that by itself be One Billion in revenue. I'm OK if Ken sets up a shop in China.
One thing we know...
People see this they're wowed by it. VKB has big sex appeal & this company regardless of it's OS or float will turn a profit.
I know we'vew heard it a million times, or I have, MSFT has about 11 billion shares out standing. Cisco has more than 7 billion shares. What's our float? 1.6 billion or 1.3?
At .035 a share...

I am getting into this one soon. HOWEVER. I want to say that I dont think that the CNN thing will cause a spike in share price..However once they announce delivery of the product and some sales numbers, then we might start moving. So those who arent in yet, probably have some time to do so. And can pick an entry that they want, and not have to chase this. Put some money aside in this one, you probably wont regret you did.
Seriously - he (Brian - the reporter) did say they'd be available from retailers in a few weeks - but as we all know - that means NOTHING more than APPROXIMATELY. I believe during the CES in Vegas Ken put out the PR that said they ARE shipping. But they never did. LEns problems or whatever.
They did have the Ibiz name in front of viewers quite a bit for such a short piece. Here's a link to it from the efforts of a couple of the guys at Atomic Bobs: http://www.safepassing.org/download/video1.wmv
Hopefully they'll be here within another month.....

so realistically, i dont know much about stocks, but if i dump 1500 in at .035, where do you think the stock will be at come june? how do you guys(and gals), know so much about this???? did it just come from dealing with the market and watching other stocks?
-im over here getting excited after reading the posts...
IBZT
if i have $1500, then the worse thing that can happen is i would lose my 1500, but the best thing that could happen is it is multiplied 10x-100x, is that the way you all see it???
beginning investor just tryin to learn the market
Stock suggestions:
CRUS AND MTZ are predicatable day to day
SIRI is gonna be a nice longterm position to hold(currently at about 3.80

Yes, with a $1500 investment, the most you can lose is $1500. That is the great thing about being a shareholder in a corporation, they cannot come after your private assets, other than what you have invested in the corporation.
On the other hand, the $800,000 would be a nice number to reach. Are you daytrading?
I have one good suggestion. Look at the historicals of QBID. If you like what you see I suggest that you put some money into that stock. They are going to start their test signal very soon, and that could easily hit .50 to 1.00 or more within the 8 months even. But as you said before, the worst that can happen is you can lose the money that you originally put into it. However, the possibilities with this company are so enormous, that it is almost a sin not to have money in QBID. You can find all of the info you need at the QBID board, but two important points. This is going to be an all gay channel Think about it, the first of its kind. With around 20 million gays in the country this could be huge. The second, look at historicals, and look at how high the price went last time they were supposed to launch but something went wrong.
Oh and by the way...the ceo has, in writing, stated there will be no reverse split while he is ceo!
Good luck to you.

I have investments covering both IBZT and QBID.
What on earth a reverse split affects a shareholder's interest? Would the shares become worthless like When UALAQ.OB
(United Airlines) gets out of Chapter 11 in the future?
If IBZT doesn't deliver the VKB by Mid May or the end of MAy; and QBID doesn't really get on TV - you'd have to re-think those positions. Don't chase any of them, imo....
Another thing that is important to be mentioned and i have before is that ibiz is intellegently leveraging this product.... as noticed in the article about circuit city the only sold them the keyboards if they would also place an order for many of there other products..... so if they sell 100,000 keyboards that equals quite abit of revenue from all the other products that go with the package.....

Roger that Roger! Very good post & I agree. All I'm saying is 10 million VKBs sold in China would bring us a billion in revenue. No, I don't think it will happen overnight. But over the long haul we will see a whole lot of VKBs sold & our pps will rise. I have a timme horizon of two years on a core position. My target at that time would be above $2. I believe that to be very realistic.

Mark Perkins, iBIZ executive vice president commented, "Manufacturer Rep organizations have proven to be an effective means of sales exposure to major retail accounts globally.

They complement our existing rep groups to a point where we are being represented in every significant account for our industry. AstroKam will represent iBIZ in Office Max, Micro Center, hh Gregg, and other key Northeastern accounts. Pearson Southwest Marketing will represent iBIZ products in the Rocky Mountain States, including Ultimate Electronics, Franklin Covey, RC Willeys and Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Ken Schilling, iBIZ president and CEO stated, "Our mission is to grow iBIZ to a nationally recognized manufacturer and provider of innovative and quality PDA products. Expanding our sales coverage is a natural growth initiative in our efforts to reach profitability and beyond. After extensive research, we're extremely pleased to add these organizations as sales partners. Since the sale of our data center and accompanying business unit, iBIZ is operating extremely lean. Expansion of our manufacturer rep organizations will allow iBIZ to increase revenue without increasing overhead."

---------------------------------------------
What is up with this?? This is different than IBIZ's, are they going to be selling the same exact thing?
Looking at some key numbers:
Revenue 485,000
Obviously this number will grow astronomically with the VKB. And investors give IBZT a market cap of over 90 million without the millions in revenue.
Debt 4,020,000
This is what IBIZ can get rid of after strong sales. They spent lots of money on development of the product and now its time to realize the revenues from their investment.
O/S 2,520,000,000
Once they have cash after the VKB starts to sell, they can stop paying people in shares which dilutes the stock. Im not sure how high the price can go while dragging up such a large O/S. It will probably depend on exactly how good sales of the VKB are. And also if they can develop more innovative products to sell under the IBIZ name. Bottom line, this stock is undervalued at current levels seeing as the price is based on revenue in the hundreds of thousands. Some future revenues may be factored in, but it still looks grossly undervalued for a company with a unique product to release into a rapid growth market like portable devices.
The only question left is, How undervalued is the stock? I honestly dont even want to offer an opinion on that, but you can do the math and see that the market cap at $1.00 would be 2.52 billion, which is similar to what Gateway's market cap is right now.
Hope everyone finds this an informative read. This forum looks pretty clean and balanced and should be a great place to discuss what looks to be a great company.

Over the past couple of months there was never a problem with the product itself! VKB works & works very well. People saw it in Las Vegas & were blown away. There may have been, as many have speculated, a few glitchs with manufacturing which in turn slowed production. But the big picture tells me there's more to it than that.
I believe Ken deliberately has been very slow bringing the Keyboard to market. It's about timing pure & simple & we will benefit from it. Ken started this company almost a quarter century ago. He's made his share of mistakes & has learned alot about the business world & the markets in general.
IBZT is his life. Lucky for us he's not about to make a mistake now.
*[[[[[[[[[[[[ THE BIG PICTURE ]]]]]]]]]]]]]*
I love high Beta! In this instance our measure of Beta is generated by sex appeal. VKB is sexy! VKB is a "COMPANY MAKER"! That's why he bought the licence to market the VKB. Ken Schilling knows this & he also knows IBZT is much more than a keyboard. IBZT is a business with some real good talent. Our greatest talent & asset is Ken Schilling.
The keyboard has a business lifespan of approximately a year & a half at the out side. Oh it will last longer than that. But in the markets we will have competitors build stand alones & use it different ways to get around our licences.
Also our keyboard, even with schools, hospitals & other institutions buying it & taking in to account possible competition, will probably reach a point of market saturation within 18 months at which time it becomes a commodity with greatly reduced margins rendering ever smaller profits.
At this point the worst thing that could happen would be to bring it to market & not be able to satisfy the demand. Don't let a trickle out, that would kill our momentum. A business like this needs to make a killing off the sex appeal & not stall it. Sex appeal gets old quickly & people see something often enough it looses it's luster & if they can't get it when they first see it, many quickly turn their attention to the next shooting star.
Ken wants to milk this thing for all it's worth so he's not bringing this to the market until he can satisfy the impulsive desire of everyone who lays eyes on it. Well over a million of these VKBs will be sold on impulse alone at first or second sight in Circut City.
By the time Ken is reporting windfall profits in an earnings report that may well surprise the whispered estimates, the Blue Tooth VKB will be ariving at Best Buy & the first manifestation of Blue Dock will be on it's heels. And IBZT will be an up & runing business with no question as to whether it is a going concern.
I bet they already have thousands built. There's only one thing slowing up delivery of the Virtual Keyboard,,, Ken! He will not let this thing fly till he's sure he has an un interupted ongoing supply.
In my very humble oppinion everything I've just written is why my pps targets are higher than most to the point that some people think I'm irrational.
Our time is at hand. At 3 & a half cents a share,,,

From all the estimates i have seen I think that a very very modest target of .3 will be met by years end. And when we get there I will be holding 2/3 of my position and will be very happy to see what ibiz has done for my wallet. The time is coming for all this to get moving and I suggest for anyone not involved to study this one quick and make a move....I dont see how we'd go anywhere but up but I could be wrong, research your self and let me know what you think.
We're on the same page! When this thing busts loose I will still hold 80% of my position! .30 is realistic for end of year projection. I'm looking for more & looking for plus $1 in 2005.

Good news is these things are on the way with no more PRs about delays. Hope we climb every day in anticipation before they tell us "VKBs have made land fall!"

Thanks for your inquiry of April 2.
VKB is a technology developer and relies on manufacturers for the marketing and promotion of its accessories line.
Although iBiz's virtual keyboard is powered by VKB, we do not have a direct business relationship with Ibiz.
One of our manufacturers has a license to distribute one accessory, and has a contract with iBiz.
For embedded applications such as phones/PDAs, automotives, medical devices, computers, aviation or others (see our website), VKB works directly with OEM/ODM and large manufacturers.
Please feel free to contact me at anytime if I can be of further assistance.
Kindest Regards

For awhile many have doubted or had lingered with the thought we would see no product at all, which is why the current pps has been frozen.
All of the current PDA's and handheld pc's will be their initial market, with schools and medical facilities sure to follow. The in-bed technology is still some time away (3 to 9 months), and from what had been said many times by Ken is that IBIZ intends to enter this market by summer. To be seen, but growth and development can take flight once IBIZ is soon established.

You're 100% right Bo! Soon as he has this thing established new product development will take flight. The next Company that gets the Keyboard to market will be more than 6 months from now & it will not be stand alone. If Ken uses his advantage wisely he will have IBZT in an excellent market position.

IBiz will have nothing to do with virtual keyboards that are integrated in devices such as pda's or phones. VKB has licenses with large corporatins for this. Mario Neves, VP of VKB, said we will see these types of products in a few weeks time.

TimN88: I believe this information should be available to help people make a decision as to their investment. There is nothing that I posted of a confidential nature. There are 'rumors' going around about the licensing agreements, and this clears up the who/what/when/how about it.

I swear, if there's ever a class-action lawsuit against this company, I'm going to be in on it.
But hopefully we will have news of shipping and sales figures soon.
It's been 3 1/2 months of laughs here. By luck alone will any success come on this one.

Only news of VKB shipment confirmed or revenue numbers will start pushing this up....which I believe sooner or later will happen....Patience...Patience.....Patience...is whats needed here...

I just called MP and spoke with Shawn in sales. They still have an ETA for tomorrow, but due to the fact that the ship dates have been changed numerous times by the manufacturer and if they were coming in tomorrow, they would already have some confirmation of that, they moved the date to May 15th.
I guess this means I can average down after the price drop

PHOENIX, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synosphere, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of iBIZ Technology Corporation (BB:IBZT), a developer of innovative PDA technologies, announced today that Synosphere is offering to license its patent pending satellite radio handheld accessory technology to qualified partners (Application #10/801,973).
This license opportunity will allow qualified partners the ability to develop, manufacture, and market satellite radio PDA and Smartphone accessories.
"Our patent pending satellite radio technology, once developed, will allow satellite radio subscribers the ability to listen to satellite radio directly on their PDAs or Smartphones anywhere they can receive a satellite radio signal. This accessory will simply attach to a handheld computer through various handheld computer expansion ports and allow subscribers to listen to high quality audio using wired or optional wireless stereo headphones. In addition, our architecture also provides an option for subscribers to listen to satellite radio on any nearby FM audio receiver without using any wires. It also provides subscribers the ability to personalize their satellite radio experience by using a full color graphical user interface," commented Bryan A. Scott, CEO of Synosphere. "We are really excited about this technology and look forward to working with licensees to bring this exciting product to market."
Through strategic partnerships with future licensees Synosphere believes it will provide the satellite radio industry an alternative solution to offer its growing customer base.

The delay till may is very bad."
All those who want to sell, please let me know if we can arrange anyway that I can get your shares because, I just got some money and I am looking to add more IBZT tomorrow.
Seriously, Ask yourself one question: Is it better to ship a device which is not working at 100% or which has a default in it .OR. to wait a little bit more like few weeks and ship something working at 100% ????
Folks, wake up!
A company like ibiz can not afford such an error and Ken is absolutely right to take all the time before he deliver any VKB before all the Quality Testing is done and fully working. All the smart INVESTORS and not TRADERS (a lot of difference between them) should understand what is going on and that IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE PPS TO GO UP PERIOD!!!
All the longs will be very happy but LONG means A LOT OF PATIENCE IN SOME CASES and that is what we need now.
Good luck to all!

[[[ FAIR WARNING! ]]]
Matter of time!
This company has been in business for awhile. VKB is not their first product nor their last. Blue Dock coming to a store near you by Christmas. But the price of my shares will already be 10 times what they are now.
I read all these posts about people being concerned & wanting to see shipping statistics or PRs. This is how I make a mint. Very honestly if IBZT investors spook & sell off their shares, I'm telling you up front, I'm buying your shares!
I'll never bash a stock. Don't have time. But if those of you that are scared start selling, I'm buying.
Now! My concience is clear & maybe I can get some sleep. I won't feel like I robbed anyone when this thing blows through a dollar on it's way to $2.50!
Good night & don't forget, at a nickle a share,,,,
"THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS!"

Someone on the www.AtomicBobs.com message board visited iBIZ offices yesterday. He/She was able to "test drive" the VKB, took and posted pictures of the office, and had a nice discussion with the employees. It was a great post IMO. I recommend you check it out.
GLTYA
Quoting from that post:
"The guy said they have an airline contact and have talked about the possibility of having virtual keyboards available in boeing planes.
They will be shipping out any day now.. Most is a week or two at most."
WOW, 'boeing' planes. I'm so glad they won't be in an Airbus, DC9 or DC10. And thank God the high speed Concorde's won't come out of retirement.
If that comment came from a representative from the company...I can only respond by saying, 'and the significance of that comment is...what?'
And, thank God they'll be shipped in one to two weeks. Dang, they never said that one before (riiight), and don't mind all of those times since July of 2003 that the officers of the company and investor relations (Ed Lewis) have said that verbally to investors, and stated the same in press releases.
If this person truly visited the company, kudos for his/her initiative. But, the results of this alleged visit are more of the same.
The pr yesterday was a bone to send us all in the corner to chew on, while another "2 weeks" passes.
Invested here, but those who have been in 3 1/2 months or longer have seen this diatribe for too long from a company with a checkered past.
For our good, I pray it ships soon (as promised since July of 2003).
For their sake, it needs to for many reasons.
[This message has been edited by Bo14172 (edited April 15, 2004).]
Of course this is all just my opinion!
Good luck to us BO, and to everyone else as well.

Anyway, IBZT certainly has suport at 0.0335. I expect half a penny gain in a week or so. It's funny, as I'm reading "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet" I keep finding out that technical and fundamental analysis don't work. Nonetheless, I continue to apply those principals to IBZT and continue to profit. Then again, this is a small window of time and space...
Perhaps the next window will see solid earnings on impeccably designed VKBs and Bluedocks.

Anyway they can try and have a bit of an update ?
We spoke Wednesday to Ken Schilling, President and CEO of IBZT, who said that a shipment of virtual keyboards will leave Israel on Monday and arrive at company headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona by the end of next week (after clearing customs). The keyboards will be sent out to internet purchasers early the following week. The company will then be receiving weekly shipments from the plant in Israel

GNET isnt even a MM. GNET is an ECN. ECN's usually play no part in price movement. The guy with all the shares and who will ultimately decide where and when this thing moves is NITE. Keep your eye on NITE! Do ur own DD

I've been waiting since last JULY to see the keyboard. I just hope I'm not still waiting THIS July or we'll be back sub-penny. Lot of people I know who bought when I did sold this week. They still made money, as we all bought at .02 or less in Dec. - but they got disgusted at all the "VKB Shipping Next Week"'s
Good Luck to us all......

I've been waiting since last JULY to see the keyboard. I just hope I'm not still waiting THIS July or we'll be back sub-penny. Lot of people I know who bought when I did sold this week. They still made money, as we all bought at .02 or less in Dec. - but they got disgusted at all the "VKB Shipping Next Week"'s
Good Luck to us all......

I wasn't aware of the December spot on CNBC: I didn't know about IBIZ or the VKB last January- but if he said that back then, on a financial station (CNBC)he did risk his credibility from a shareholder aspect, and the stock's pps has suffered. I don't know if he had an actual keyboard in his hand back in Jan., but then again, CNBC is a financial station- CNN's tech spot was a tech spot geared towards potential customers more than towards potential investors in the actual stock, and I don't think IBIZ would have allowed the release of its product for air-time until they were reasonably sure it was nearing its release-time. Even so, what was said in January makes this all that much more imprtant regarding IBIZ's credibility. I would hope that IBIZ would have enough sense not to let CNN do a write-up on something to get the consumers interested in it, only to turn them off with a false tentative release date and leave them waiting until that interest has all-but faded: to mislead investors is bad enough, but to tick off potential customers is much worse, and I don't think consumers are going to be as patient as the investors who are still in this have been.
Then again, playing the 'next week' line on people this long is also having a negative impact as well: IBIZ would have been better off not getting up so much interest until they were reasonably certain that what they promised was about to be achieved, and instead let the investors make the decision as to what the rumors are worth instead of jading so many people away from IBIZ. I'm no fan of any company whose CFO dumps a ton of his own holdings onto the market every month or so, but it is do or die time for IBIZ, and now is not the time to say "What the hell- it's okay if it takes til Christmas". Up until now, IBIZ has survived on the investor equity in the company- when the customers come, more investors will follow: if IBIZ alienates its client-base, likewise, the investors will follow.

That's my opinion after seen it !
The VKB will become a "self-running-product" ... I'm sure ! And that's just the beginning of many other applications ... or what do you think about a cell-phones (inside the cities) without any keyboard only with a virtual dialing keyboard ?!? ...will be cool or not ?
In the near future...if you've no mobile-phone with virtual keayboard ... you will be laughed out !
Ciao
I agree with the future potential of the VKB. I wonder how much advertising the VKB will get from CC. I would love to see it in a Sunday paper ad, ya know?
On the cover of Popular Science magazine they have the future of PDA's, and it is utilizing a virtual keyboard(not IBIZ's). This shows the potential of the VKB. iBIZ may not own the technology, but all I want is for the VKB to get this company on the map, generate a lot of revenue, and hopefully retailers and consumers will start buying all of the other products they have/and WILL have to offer.

3) All three have attempted to produce their own version of the
virtual keyboard, and EC obviously further ahead and better than
Panasonic`s current version.
4) EC outright owns the patent to another product called the ePen,
which allows users to transcript text onto any surface for transfer
to their PDA, laptop, etc. without having to transcribe their script
onto a special medium (pad). This product`s patent had previously
been owned by In Motion ePen, Inc.
5) IBZT owns the patents to the XELA keyboard, the SD pocketRadio,
and another 70 or so products.
6) IBZT and EC are partnering together to form an IBZT subsidiary
called IBIZ, Inc.
7) First, IBIZ Inc. will hold a contract with IBZT to manufacture all
of its current products, such as the Xela Keyboard, the SD
pocketRadio, etc. through EC`s contracted manufacturing units in
Taiwan and China.
Second, IBIZ, Inc. will have exclusive rights to distribute (Sell)
IBZT`s product line throughout the world, except in the USA. IBZT
will receive a royalty for all products sold by IBIZ, Inc.
9) Third, IBZT will have exclusive rights to distribute (Sell) IBIZ,
Inc.`s products, which currently are the virtual keyboard and the
ePen, in the United States. IBIZ, Inc. will receive a royalty on
products sold by IBZT in the USA.
10) Fourth, IBZT will distribute (Sell) its own products, such as the
Xela Keyboard, SD pocketRadio, etc., in the United States.
11) IBIZ, Inc. will provide technical advice and support to IBZT for
further product design and development.
12) IBZT is in the process of discussing with VKB a partnership that
would allow the IBZT spinoff, IBIZ, Inc., and VKB to form a
partnership; one that has IBIZ, Inc. as 20% owner and VKB as 80%
owner. Essentially, this would lock-in IBIZ, Inc.`s ownership into
VKB`s " Light Key" technology patent and the opportunity to a)
exclusively hold the technology in-house for private development, or
b) continue to sell the technology to other corporate suitors.
I hope that this answers a lot of questions and ambiguity about the
overall relationship between VKB, Endeavor Capital, Panasonic,
Siemens, and especially IBZT.
....should be in front of all the other postings and there will be no more questions at all !
THANKS !!!

SKU Number: IBIZ-VKB
Virtual Laser Keyboard!
Virtual hunt and peck Tired of poking at tiny onscreen keys or toting around a foldout keyboard to enter text into your PDA? In the "now for something completely different" category!!!
The Virtual Laser Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology and projects a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. As you type on the laser projection; it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location.
Unlike many small snap-on keyboards for PDAs, the Virtual Laser Keyboard provides a full-size QWERTY keyboard. It is also smaller and more convenient to use than the folding-type keyboards made by some manufacturers and similar to them in functionality.
There are no mechanical moving parts whatsoever in the Virtual Laser Keyboard. It provides a projected image that is the perfect portable input device for PDAs. It's similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but extremely futuristic looking.
The Virtual Laser Keyboard requires no special training. The light weight device weighs two ounces and is similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Virtual Laser Keyboard includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the Virtual Laser Keyboard with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC. The battery lasts three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries.
Key Features:
The Virtual Laser Keyboard is ideal for well-lit offices.
Cost-effective - eliminates the cost of maintaining mechanical keyboards in volatile locations.
Applications: home, office, clean rooms, medical & dental facilities, dirt-free environments, classrooms, etc.
Features: Light-weight, small-size, LiOn rechargeable battery.
Power-save mode, audible click feature.
Connectivity: USB/Serial Connector
Power: lithium-ion rechargeable battery w/ac adapter
Includes: Virtual Laser Keyboard, cable, manual & software.
Warranty: 1 year parts & labor.
Compatibility List: PCs & Laptops running Windows 98/2000/XP, most PDAs using Palm or Pocket PC Operating System.
Price: $99.99
Please note: This item is currently on back order. Expected availability: 04/28/04 - Confirmed

Sunday air shipping? That's gotta cost some money. Doesn't matter so long as they start shipping them out next week
WHOW!!!
2 PR Scenario: PR that they received them, but doesn't mention shipping out to customers/retail yet, then $0.06-$0.10 (although it may pop up above that then settle down). Second PR stating shipping and retail clients are getting them, then a pop to $0.10-$0.20 with an initial pop above that, settling down again)
After either scenario, its up in the air... I think we will find a new base for a short while. Then as the word spreads from people using them, a more gradual rise in price.
Of course, I know not of what I speak. They might not release a PR for a week after shipments have begun. Some people might say there is no VKB and its going to tank... Sell your shares so I can buy em The price could also skip past $0.10.. $0.20.. $0.30.. $0.40.. $0.50 ... no idea.

Just called to verify! Spoke to Elissa at Phone # 1-623-492-9200 in the Arizona headquarters. She verifies that VKBs are on the way & will be going through customs in New York for approx two days before Arizona. From there they will be sent to "Internet Customers" first. She was unable to speak about the S8 for lack of knowledge.
Next I called Invester Relations which is CEO Cast. The guy I talked to confirmed word for word what Elissa had told me. Their phone # is 1-212-732-4300.
I asked him if there was any way he might be able to make their announcements a little more dynamic & he explained they had to state very objective facts & nothing else. Also he knew of the S8 but had no explanation as to why it was filed at this time.
Anyway the big news is that VKBs are confirmed to be in transport & should be sent out to customers from Arizona by Friday.
Next week people will be getting their VKBs!
By the way,,,
"These are the good old days!"
------------------
whizknock
customers that have ordered their keyboards couple weeks ago will be receiving them early next week. Customers who order today and later on will see them in a few weeks....
Hey at least there finally getting shipped
I've been through this before. Having identified a company with potential & knowing that I trust my judgement. Waiting while others express their uncertainty & the stock price stalls on delays.
When in the very near future IBZT delivers working VKBs they will have effectively beaten two tech giants, Panasonic & Semeins AG to the market place with a complex little device that the big boys were unable to produce. This company is going places. Simply a matter of time, nothing more, nothing less!

why does barchart.com hate this one so much if it's such a good one to get in?

VKB good or bad ?..... chart good or bad ?... thats all not important. I'm very sure we will see the same scenario like QBID and GFYF. On that day, when the news is out "VKB is shipping and on sale !" we will see a minimum 100% jump on this day !
You ask me why ? ...very simple answer...to much ppl are waching IBIZ and still waiting for T H E news ! ;-)
And the best is....IBIZ is different to QBID and GFYF .....IBIZ is not only "hot air" with a "maybe in the next future selling product" ....IBIZ then has a real product with great potential in the future on the worldwide market and IBIZ has practically no debts, so the whole sales income is pure profit !

Here is some news for you all to take in. right now i am stationed in korea for military duty. today, i overheard a conversation among fellow soldiers about a "virtual keyboard" and how one soldier was going to buy it for his wife because she saw it being demonstrated in some electronics store. i quickly went to him and was inquiring more about it. he said he thought it was a great product and knew of other fellow soldiers on our base wanting to purchase. i explained to him my deep interest in this because i was a large shareholder with this company. come to find out he is what you might call a computer "whiz" and was telling me about articles and reviews about the keyboard in computer and tech magazines he reads. he has also read that the military is looking into purchasing this product for general purposes. he also informed me of MACINTOSH (AKA apple computers) is interested in looking into this product and buying out the company or rights to it so it can make it a standard issue product with the IMACS (apple..AAPL...27.23 per share)
issuing the VKB with a new computer allows cost to be trimmed while at the same time a price increase can easily be set as standard for such a new product.
this is just some news from around the world thought some of you would like to read about it. oh, and the soldier i spoke with told me he has not been able to buy one because everywhere he knows where to buy they are sold out.
IBIZ CORP currently lists these corporations as retailers : wal-mart, comp usa, micro center, shopwireless.com, staples, sams club, westco international, supplieschannel.com, mobile planet, PDAmart, and frys electronics. i did not name all of them but that is a majority of the group.
good luck

didn't help me much, but I bought more on the big dip today
like BART said...."LET THE MONSTER EAT !"

"Ken Schilling, President and CEO of IBZT, called me Wednesday afternoon with the news that the initial shipment of virtual keyboards has cleared Israeli customs and is en route to the United States. Once the shipment clears United States Customs and arrives at IBZT headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, the company will put out a press release announcing the start of shipping."
cool, cool.
I've just bought 650.000 shares and hope this will be a good investment for the future !

Subject: potential pps
This is my first post and am glad to have the opportunity to
communicate with others on this subject. I'm in with both feet at an
average of .035 for 4.7M shares. This is a first for me in the micro
penny game but IBZT is winning my confidence for several reasons.
Filtering through the vast majority of micro penny stocks very few
are in the position IBIZ is finding itself. They for one have a
truly revolutionary product, however is does not seem that they own
the patent on the technology (anyone know more about this)however
they will be the first to market with it. This in itself is unique
for a penny stock, in addition they have a platform from which to
sell the product, another unique position. They have been able to
negotiate at a level only dreamed of by most penny stocks i.e.
Cucuit City, which from talking to IBIZ last week is the tip of the
iceburg. The stock itself is also in a unique position. To start,
the % of the population which truly trade securities is much smaller
than advertised, at least for the sake of this argument. As you look
at the population of PDA users one could reasonably assume several
things. They are more educated, better paid, and much more likely to
buy a stock such as IBIZ than the average joe six pack. As for the
product itself, the PDA is truly in its infancy, we will undoubtedly
see an exponential increase in its acceptance and use over the next
decade. IMO several things will transpire to facilitate this, an
increase in usability is of course the key. The laser key board
trumps every gadget on the market today and will propel the use of
the PDA in ways hard to imagine. If any of you have followed the
evolution of nano technology the prospects are amazing. I am
confident that computers the size of stamps will become a reality,
that being said laser projected keyboards AND monitors will be
essential to the nano processors efficacy. All in all IMO IBIZ will
be swallowed by one of the giants which could be fantastic for us.
Someone was asking about predictions for future PPS. The OS and
Float are staggering but this stock will trade on speculation just
as it currently is, I think to get out at eight or ten cents would
be a mistake. If your into crunching numbers to find the value of
this company, go buy GE or JNJ....... IBIZ is PURE speculation. If
you look at recent run ups like IPIX or MACE or USHG.ob the latter
two having only concepts or prototypes of what they may manufacture
let alone distribute, let alone sell, IBIZ looks that much better,
granted they will never trade at those levels without a reverse
split, IMO 25-35 cents is possible. Thanks for reading. GO IBIZ

Never reveal your holdings on a message board. It plays into MM's hands and aids them into gaging their trading practices accordingly.
Let's stay strong here on this one. We've come too far and waiting too long for what is about to occur to compromise it by helping MM's at a time like this.

What follows shipping is even more exciting.
The feedback of peopleand the media coverage will create a groundswell.
The over-the-top news will be retailer agreements and re-orders. SIRI is at $3.66/share with poor to modest sales figures, and a net loss over the past 4 quarters of $400,000,000. Anything is possible here. These are the days long awaited for by many (along the up and down ride of the past 4 months).
As an aside, I took my son in to get 3 stiches removed this morning (bike pedal bit him 10 days ago), and the doctor came in with the laptop (as they always do now in offices and hosptials). After removing the stiches and conversing about the after care instructions, I mentioned the virual keyboard and it's uses for pda's, laptops and pc's. She was very impressed and called to the lead physician of the group for me to tell him what was coming. Their interest was great in this and clearly saw the benefits toward hygene as well as efficiency.
This could be real good, real soon. Bo
Elissa at IBZT states that Keyboards are in their logistcal center & that is in Pheonix!

It depends. We have no specific ETA available because we do not know how shipment numbers and structuring will work... We have some units in our logistics center but I have no numbers available or how many will be sent. Please stay patient as we are doing all we can to ensure smooth and quick expedition.
Thanks,
Let's wait for the PR. May be tomorrow. Or may be the last run up at the closing means something good is on the way.
Good advice please!!!

David,
That is correct. Mark and I are in New York. We return to Phoenix on
Friday.
The Virtual Keyboards have arrived in Phoenix and are going through
logistics as we speak. We'll let the public know when we begin
shipping the units to end users. Currently they're being inspected
and tested.
Everything else is going great. We're all very excited to have
turned this company around.
Thank you and our other shareholders for your continued confidence in
our exciting company and its future.

Canesta did came out with them long time ago... Hopefully IBIZ's ones are smaller and more ppl will buy... Sincere laser keyboard is all in the word of "convinence"... So hope size matters... =)

They seem to have the picture of the product and everything going... So I guess they are truely at it this time...

please spread the word on all the boards that you're on. This is the only one I post .. so.. no handles on any other
seriously, put a GTC at .50 or .60 or however high your trading account allows you to.
It'll prevent shorting and drive prices higher come Monday.
Don't think "someone will do it, no big difference whether I do it or not."
What if nobody does that? eheh.

Subject: [ibizinvestors] Re: Vkb news great!!! REVENUES WHEN REPORTED WILL
--- anthony, i can touch the vkb.... you know what i mean....
The actual piece that transmits laser is touchable... The
applications for the vkb do provide many uniques opportunities for
all concerned with the germs associated with traditional keyboards...
I wouldn't be surprised if they sell a good percent to the hospitals
and such along with the bluedock tech! Also pda growth projection
for next few years bode extremely well for ibzt and pda industry. Not
to mention vkb can be used for home pc's and cellphones. Eventually
as cellphones and pdas are combined the revenue stream will be
expotential.
I am assuming we have about little under a billion people living in
N America alone. I did not research actual population but this is my
rough guess.... If someone has time to research i would appreciate.
The ibzt buisness model is quite ingenious. For example in order to
limit the cost of inputs associated with running the manufacturing
side of its products...Ibzt subs out the production and some of the
quality assurnce testing.... This was one reason for the delay, they
wanted to make sure everything was 100% smooth befotre it was
released. By doing this they reduced the amount of capitol needed to
bring these techs to market... I think ibzt could easily sell 30
million of these keyboards by Christmas (production will have to be
steped up but will be easy to do with increased capitol from
revenues)... My low estimate i am using is a poultry 10 million!
Assuming all costs.... 20 dollars of 99 goes to cover costs of goods
sold.... So 79 dollars goes to ibzt when considering this as a
example the profit margins are quite high. With about 2billion share
out this gives ibzt a value of .253 per share using no pe multiple.
Multiply it by a pe of 15 which is low for tech stocks and you get a
share price of 3.80... This does not include other products or other
royalties recieved for patents distribution agreements and such...
Keep in mind increasing demand for satelite radio and soon to be
released virtual pen! Stay with me>>>> I am guilty of bad grammar
and prefer to us my own unique stream of conscious writing style!!!!
Moving on
Now lets assume they only sell 1 million vkbs... get a sp worth .0253
now times a low pe of 15 and we get a share price of .389..(again not
including other revenue streams! well this quite long winded but
just wanted to illustrate the potential here and my reasoning for
stocks price in future!
This is all my opinion please check math and tell me what you think.
I know a additional 100 million shares came on the market in april
causing minimal diloutive effect but creating additional capitol
resources until new rev stream comes in. If any of my numbers are way
off please let me know..
i am sure they are using a just in time delivery system....this way
they dont have a overstock of inventory sitting on shelves.... Right
now demand is higher then supply as Full scale Production is just
begining.
Well i hope this provides material for positive discourse
HAVE A HELL OF A WEEKEND ALL!!!!!!

So, how high will it go? How long are you willing to stay in??? If you're looking for that magic .1 or .2 and that's all it could happen very quickly. I think a lot of folks are looking for the immediate jump for the stratosphere...nice dream, and if it happens everyone who stays in will be right jiggy. I got into this because I thought it had excellant possibilities in the long term. I'm not so interested in that magic .1 or .2. I think it could very well pop up to that soon but there are so many players that have their eyes on that number that when it does get there a big sell off should be expected. I plan for this ahead of time so that I don't get spooked by the hype and the sudden drop and sell. Unfortunately I can't afford to jump in and out and pick up shares so I must find good looking stocks cheap and ride them out. I'm thinking that there will be a big push up to about .13 in the very near future followed by a retreat back to .08. from there it will bounce back and forth with high volume until it settles around .1 then a slow steady rise through the summer with another big push in the fall with the advent of the Bluedock. By Xmas I'm hoping for .8-.9 and depending in 4th qtr results and the Bluedock release I would expect a rise up near $2 by 4th qtr next year. If all that holds true the next goal would be AMEX or NASDAQ picking it up then mutual funds buying in around $5. After 5yrs price will be $7.40 after 3 splits. Pipe dreams? Maybe. If I'm wrong you're all invited to chew me out in 5yrs. If I'm right...I might let the group know the name of my island in the Carribean for a reunion!! Happy Trails! ;-)

Now to me its the marketing agreements imo that will relly set this afire. In every stock I have owned that is the catalist to make it fly.
I have a gtc in to sell a smaller percentage before .3 just as a protective measure, but I do belive we will see .3 this yeat and I will be holding shares at that point and beyond..... and even what I sell before that point, if it retraced I will put it back in again.

There is no way that IBZT will generate the level of income Whiz estimates.
This is not bash IBZT. I own a lot of shares and look forward to the share price increasing. However, it would be more reasonable to estimate that IBZT will gross about $40 per VKB sold and that it will bring about 10-20% of that to the bottom line (and even that net margin is high for a high tech manufacturer of a retail product). At $8 of income per VKB, IBZT will net $8 million for every 1 million VKBs sold or $.003 per share (assuming about 3 billion shares outstanding). At a 15 multiple (probably very low for a "growth stock" in the high tech field) that's about $.045 in market value per million VKBs sold. Everyone can do the math from here based on their estimates of the number of VKBs that will be sold.
This is all to say that estimates in the dollars per share are a long, long, long way from being a practical reality - many other successful products will have to be introduced beyond even blue dock.
Best luck to all and may this week see a massive upturn in the price of IBZT.

*Faith pays, success in stocks requires insight, rather than reflection...following the trends and news is what most investors do, the difference between the good and the great are a leap of faith..... All in All, im in for a large amount at .039, and there is no doubt in my mind that we will see a dollar in the very near future...
Reasons:
Sole Patent for satellite radio for pocket pc's
Numerous applications of VKB's( actually typing is very prehistoric, its inevitable that we begin to find new ways to input data...think about the touch pad on laptops in comparison to the mice that are used on desktops...) VKB will start as a must have novelty, and end as a way of life...imagine if they were used in restaurant or coffee shops, projected from the ceiling or other abstract spot.....Im not selling until $3.90

Classic MM manipulation after a PR. Short, short, short...
It is irrelevant for longs because once we have solid quarterly earnings statements the MMs will have no choice but to raise share prices.
Don't mean to bash - I think the company is great and I love their ideas and products, but frankly the stock just stinks recently.
It's no mystery we are pawns of the MM's. The MM's are controlled and governed by powers above, so when it's our turn, it will be the powers influencing MM's that allow us (or any) stock to rise on a given day. For the techno's....look at the volume chart today. It was very high and remained strong through 12:15pm. The price flirted between .039 and .0405 during this time.
Is it me or starting at 12:15, volume was choked off big time. MM's sold amongst themselves, or shorted, among themselves, suckering weak hands along with them through the end of the day.
And I really don't believe the theory of buy on rumor, sell on news in this case. That is way too cliche'ed. There has been pressure and manipulation for 4 months waiting news such as this. The stock moves very strong on very heavy volume, then it is OBVIOUSLY choked off. Much the same happened on 2-12-04 when they announced the CC news. It ran quickly to .05 in the first 5 minutes of trading, then volume miraculously vanished, and the stock was walked back just like today.
Si or no?
MM's Pawn
"Sell on good news - buy on bad news !"
The reason why is very simple...if a company is already very good positioned and good news comes out it could (normally) only become more bad.
But anyway....in this case it could be a BIG MISTAKE to sell at this price, because we are only at the beginning of a "big ride"...UP ! ...the sky is the limit !
;-)
IBIZ's now OVERSOLD ! ....that's one momentum more for a big run up in the next future....what we need is a surprising news ! ...a good one ! ...maybe an analyst statement with "STRONG BUY" and a new target-price or some new deals from ibiz or .....

GLTA.
Looking good - I wonder where we will be by the end of the week? Although I am in for the long haul and buying up shares as she goes...
GO IBIZ!
I can't believe the PR about the CeBit in Germany in March got this over .05 (When we ALREADY had known about it for months) - and getting them in (the VKBs) finally couldn't get us over .04 for more than a few seconds and now we're in the red.
After over 4 months of holding and NEVER trading during the runs (to try and make money and get free shares - because I thought this company was sooooo great that I might get caught on the outside looking in) - I have to say, I was wrong. I was wrong to HOLD for so long. I should have traded - and IF I had gotten caught outside - and had already made a profit, big OR small - so be it. But a profit's a profit - and there's NEVER anything wrong with taking a profit.
I was afraid I'd miss a NEOM or AGIS like run - or worse yet, a CYPT run.....ran from .10 to $2 and stayed UP THERE for a good while. But I guess the only time those REALLY happen is when I'm watching without owning!
I've made this mistake with a few other stocks as well and have now adopted my own new rule: to just date the sucker and NOT marry it. Even if I can date a stock over and over. One thing is certain, NONE go straight up - and NONE stay up. They ALL have their ups and downs. I just mentioned to my son recently that we would have been better off trying to make 10% a day - or $150 a day - going all the way back to September. We'd be soooooo far ahead of the game. Sure - I've had some big hits the past 8 months, but when you add it all up - I would have been better off with the steady quick hits than waiting for the long big kills.
I've read the emails from Ken Schilling before where he has stated that he needs to concentrate on running the company and can't worry about the price per share of the stock. That would be all well and good if all the fluffy and misleading PRs hadn't come out for the past 10 months.
Since I was planning on holding this until at LEAST .10-.12 anyway, now that we got screwed royally today - I hope it drops to .02 when I have more funds available Wednesday to get some more much cheaper. Of course I hope it goes way up afterwards!
I can't afford to do it now - but eventually I'd like to buy TWICE as much of a stock like this that I REALLY like, or believe in. 1/2 to let sit - and 1/2 to trade the hell out of. And if I can get in sub-penny, and I am fortunate enough to have it double or triple quickly with some luck - all the better.
Not exactly sure what to do here now - but I WILL be trading the damn thing when I feel it's the right time from now on.
Good Luck to all of us,
Steve
Couldn't have said it better myself.

I feel your pain man. I reinvested all the gains I made during the CES run ("good old days") and have been holding since, watching QBID, WNMI and PGHI take off.
I thought IBZT would run like that again during the CeBit convention and on shipping news. For those of us that bought higher, we either take a loss now and move on or wait few more months, AGAIN. Will this stock move on new retailer contract news? I hate seeing that ".30 by 3 months" prediction being posted over and over in RB.
I'm in the RED now, but will not sell until I double my investment. Being optimistic again, I guess I'll never learn. All I want is a new Audi S4...Is that too much to ask?

So I Don't know how good this is on the long term when everyone got their hands on one of this unit... If anyone got the link to the REVIEWS of the virtual keyboard, please post... I would like to see how they like the keyboard...
From my point of view... Yes, it's a very good thoughts and convinences and all... But I like my keyboard the way it is, that I can FEEL my keyboards... Especially the home keys to know where they are at... And from my "past experience", red laser into your eyes is not too good for the eyes either...
Call me basher or smasher, or whatever the he|| you wish... Message board is all about people's opinions... And this is what I think...
Yes, I do own some shares and I been holding onto it since February... I havent even sell any of the shares yet since February... Always want to see IBZT's potential... =)
For an accessories retailers and broke out into their brand of products is pretty impressive enough... Great potential...
Then again, I wouldn't want one for my computer because, as you say, I need to feel the home keys. This is not negative though...the volume of hand helds is enormous and there should be plenty of demand for the keyboard.
Reach your goal, but enjoy the trip,

-Shipping was moved in order to produce more units.
-Also, there were some issues with lenses that have been solved. He goes into detail about what specifically was wrong. It was something with the glue used to attach a heatsink that shrunk or something of that nature.
-Shipments on weekly basis. Here the reiterates the order in which units will be shipped. He also states that orders to big retailers begin at the end of the month. HE wants to get feedback from people who gets the first units such that the ones going to the retailers might be better than the initial devices.
-Production may be moved to china
-FM radio soon to be shipped globally
- 5 products currently on shelves at circuit city: selling well he hears. CC still waiting on keyboards.
-this week patents filed for PDA satellite radio. product under development. Both sirius and XM expressed interest. Product can broadcast XM or sirus signal to any FM device you may have in your house or car.
D@MN- net congestion cut my stream...
-Revenue has spiked dramatically, but not at level he wants it to be. Revenue will be where he wants it to be when oders to retailers ship.
-bluedock well into development. There is tremendous interest in it. Ready to ship by end of year (yeah ok kenny, we've heard that before...).
Looks like we'll trade sideways to down for another month, but if the rewards are worth it - so what?!?! ;-)
Nonetheless, our product is here and will generate nice revenues. Steady earning will pull us higher.
First amount of virtual keyboard will be for feedback... Then after feedback, they will fix all the things that's wrong and put a better display cover then ship to all the big guys...
I guess we're into something... I say by tomorrow with all the ppl hearing this radio, I say we see tiny bit of greens tomorrow
The key Virtual Key board is going to be a hit. I see potential in integration of this key board in the PDA's as future of PDA's. we will soon have truly usable PDA's without having to learn how to scribble the rite way. I see potential in the fact tat this can be extended to cell phones and we have a whole new market.
They are targetting schools as keyboards can be huge carriers of infections. Its true as we all know keyboards can get dirty. i hope everyone starts thinking that way.
I like this thing I would buy it if i had a PDA i could take it to meetings and truly take notes and impress a few people in the process.
I'm glad its out I so want to see this thing .... and I'm proud that i chose to buy this stock. I have never felt safe on any penny stock as i feel on this one.
GO IBZT !!!!

I have also talked with a couple of manufactures about adding these to tablet PC's as well - they seemed to be interested... Time will tell - the thousands of uses outside of what the initial intention (ATM's, Mall Internet machines and extreme environments like car dealers shops blah blah blah)... The list goes on.

But then I gotta say... IBIZ market cap is pretty high... Went from 23Mil to 90's Mil... Whew... Cant wait till quarter comes out... Anyone know the aproximate date it will be out?
I also agree with TTmaster99, other companies WILL start making these, and taking them even further. Personall, I wanna see somebody make a MIDI keyboard controller for my studio from this technology.

I have to agree..one buck just will not happen. Its in the o/s and cannot happen with the outstanding shares. I am on the same page as if it gets past a dime it will be hard not to exit.at least a good part of it any way. It is shapping up that we are going to need to hold until the holidays to get a pop like that it appears.
thanks

If you think that M.a.t.s.u.s.h.i.t.a. with their Toughbook line could have came out with this they would have. This is a very unusual situation for a smaller company. Limited funds, able to beat anyone else to the market with a product, and no-one else insight who is bringing their own version...
I think we need to give em some more props and our cash as well - in the end we will all profit along with the company!

I'm sincerely happy for you - and just wish I had too!I can't believe the PR about the CeBit in Germany in March got this over .05 (When we ALREADY had known about it for months) - and getting them in (the VKBs) finally couldn't get us over .04 for more than a few seconds and now we're in the red.
After over 4 months of holding and NEVER trading during the runs (to try and make money and get free shares - because I thought this company was sooooo great that I might get caught on the outside looking in) - I have to say, I was wrong. I was wrong to HOLD for so long. I should have traded - and IF I had gotten caught outside - and had already made a profit, big OR small - so be it. But a profit's a profit - and there's NEVER anything wrong with taking a profit.
I was afraid I'd miss a NEOM or AGIS like run - or worse yet, a CYPT run.....ran from .10 to $2 and stayed UP THERE for a good while. But I guess the only time those REALLY happen is when I'm watching without owning!
I've made this mistake with a few other stocks as well and have now adopted my own new rule: to just date the sucker and NOT marry it. Even if I can date a stock over and over. One thing is certain, NONE go straight up - and NONE stay up. They ALL have their ups and downs. I just mentioned to my son recently that we would have been better off trying to make 10% a day - or $150 a day - going all the way back to September. We'd be soooooo far ahead of the game. Sure - I've had some big hits the past 8 months, but when you add it all up - I would have been better off with the steady quick hits than waiting for the long big kills.
I've read the emails from Ken Schilling before where he has stated that he needs to concentrate on running the company and can't worry about the price per share of the stock. That would be all well and good if all the fluffy and misleading PRs hadn't come out for the past 10 months.
Since I was planning on holding this until at LEAST .10-.12 anyway, now that we got screwed royally today - I hope it drops to .02 when I have more funds available Wednesday to get some more much cheaper. Of course I hope it goes way up afterwards!
I can't afford to do it now - but eventually I'd like to buy TWICE as much of a stock like this that I REALLY like, or believe in. 1/2 to let sit - and 1/2 to trade the hell out of. And if I can get in sub-penny, and I am fortunate enough to have it double or triple quickly with some luck - all the better.
Not exactly sure what to do here now - but I WILL be trading the damn thing when I feel it's the right time from now on.
Good Luck to all of us,
Steve

Virtual Laser Keyboard!
Virtual hunt and peck Tired of poking at tiny onscreen keys or toting around a foldout keyboard to enter text into your PDA? In the "now for something completely different" category!!!
SKU Number: IBIZ-VKB Price: $99.99
On back order. Expected to be in stock: 05/07/04
I am guessing this means at the Reseller's site on 5/7/04? Unless they are drop shipping it from the factory?
- Bill
Read a post from another two other boards saying a VKB arrived to a customer. This is the first I have heard of a VKB arriving to a regular "Joe Schmoe Consumer", so it's nice news to me. (BTW, the post is from someone who is generally an "honest" poster, so take it for what it's worth.)
If true, like I think it is, I suppose we will hear more in the a.m. Here's to a GREEN Friday. GLTYA

Another Interesting Friday...
Might run like last week Friday when the shipping news popped up... but this time it may pop because the price is very attractive and cheap now....
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=ibzt,uu[r,a]dhclyyay[db][pb5!b13!b25!b50!b200][vc60][iub14!lah12,26,9!lp14,3,3!lg!lc20][j27598182,y]&listNum=1
Not saying that it cannot drop lower, but then again, with shipments coming in weekly now... why should it? Backorders are getting filled... next week even more.
Wonder if anyone took the time to figure out that even at 3,000 a week shipped... that is $297,000 @ 99 each... x 4 weeks... $1,188,000.00 sales generated a month...
Now I know IBIZ is not selling it to retailers for that price. But on their own site... it would amount to that.
So one can only guess how many will sell this year... but it will be in the multi million dollar figure.... and that is only one item.

The GZFX stock holders already advertising GamesNFlix at FW. In hindsight, maybe they should've waited untill GamesNFlix improved the performance on their website and shipping/distribution. Their thread has a good "rating", currently viewed 11098 since 5/6/04. But the reviews from the FW members that signed up are not very good due to the website being sluggish and not getting their DVDs on time. GZFX stockholders are there to defend of course. Read for yourself here (if link don't wor, go to FW website, Hot Deals forum, search for NETFLIX: http://fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?catid=18&threadid=308705
Go to Fatwallet.com, Hot Deals forum for those of you that are not familiar...Been using this site since '98 and I won't buy anything w/o checking there first...Saved me a lot of $$. They have a great Financial forum as well.
C'mon IBZT...I still belive, just a little bit.
Anyone knows anything about the production being transfered to south east Asia (China) ?
a little scenario to think about:
You've a PDA and you are looking for the right keyboard for your PDA. You've a choice between a standard keyboard, a folder keyboard and virtual keyboard (VKB).
What's your choice ?
My choice is the VKB...it's small, but's a fullsize keyboard...it's clean (you can put some coffee on the table and nothing happens) ....and (not to forget!!) it's very very cool looking ...for example during a meeting or something similar, you are the king ;-)
So IMO the most of the PPL with PDA's will take the VKB and no other keyboard....IMO minimum 90% of the customers....so the whole PDA-keyboard market will be supplied by IBIZ and their VKB.
So at the end I'm sure we will go up soon ... and I mean UP heavy ! ....maybe now we go a little bit down or a little bit up....but that's nothing with the share price at the end of this year ...believe me IBIZ and the VKB (and the other products like BlueDock too) will/can make you rich....and I mean REAL RICH (!) if you believe in this company and their products ... not often you've the chance to see the birth of a new market....the laser input devices market is such one ....many other application will follow !
So at the moment BUY some more (cheap!) or take some sleep till the end of the year ...then take a look at the share price and be happy ;-))) !

When we least expect it we will wake up one day & find IBZT has begun a little run & slowly but surely it will gather some momentum. I will not make a pps prediction but just wanted to point out that we've been through a period of consolidation & could see a run at any time.

To think about it, you're right WWJD-thru-me... By the end of May, and nothing is happening, I'm out of this too... This stock is getting boring and alot of promises but nothing is done...
Even QBID did some gay entertainment networks and still has more green than this bullshiets...

I wrote Ed Lewis, the IR for IBIZ, and asked him why IBIZ's stock symbol is listed on the Berlin Stock Exchange. Management has apparently not authorized their stock symbol to be listed there. I believe it is being victimized by naked shorts through this exchange. That would also explain why we could not break 4 cents last week with the PR we got.
TIDE.OB on May 6th issued this press release stating they are also a victim of this scheme. Please read their PR. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040506/dath037_1.html
Here is the response I got from Ed when I asked him about this listing.
"According to Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President, IBZT was listed on the Berlin Exchange. The company is looking into having the stock removed from the Berlin Exchange."
IMO this is a political stock exchange day ... but political stock exchange days in most cases does have "short legs" ! If the PPL see that nothing's changed they will come in again and buy (not only IBZT)!

I still own free shares in IBZT. But as I said months ago. IBZT is not going up until we get some #s. I still believe it. I will not come back in with more cash until I feel we are going to get some good #s. I still have not gotten my VKB. This is for the long haul now. Good luck. See you all in about a week or so.
Oh well, for me, I consider it as a lost for now...

I've seen this happen dozens of times before. Stock goes up on rumor. Delays allow more time for hype. Stock continues its rise. Product finally announced and the floor falls out. The weak sell. The wise are contrarian, and buy buy buy.
If history repeats itself, those who are seeing loss on paper today are going to be very happy once numbers start coming out.
This is why penny stocks are not for everyone. Patience is the key.

At that point, it will find a new base and hang tight until we here some sales numbers and news of distribution channels.

Virtual Laser Keyboard Ships to Industry Analysts
via COMTEX
May 11, 2004
PHOENIX, May 11, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT), an innovative manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other handheld devices, announced today the first production units of the new Virtual Laser Keyboard manufactured by Enterprise Capital and powered by VKB's technology have shipped to industry analysts for review. iBIZ awaits FCC and Laser certifications before shipping to customers/end-users.
'The Virtual Laser Keyboard is a new and exciting product, and the industry has responded to the technology overwhelmingly. As with all new product development, industry certifications have to be met and cleared prior to shipping to customers,'commented Ken Schilling, President and Chief Executive Officer, iBIZ Technology Corp. 'We were extremely excited to receive the first shipments ten days ago; however, the product certifications are still in the final approval stages with the necessary agencies. In that regard, customer orders will be filled only after receipt of those proper certifications and approvals. On the receipt of those product certifications, we will begin to ship to customers with back orders dating back to January of this year with a compatible PDA or computer currently supported by the software drivers. We will continue to fill orders moving forward as the software drivers continue to be expanded, allowing support of other devices. In that regard, both driver support and product certifications have been an on going process as new devices continue to enter the market. Compatible devices will be listed on our web site as well as news on product certifications.'
Schilling further commented, 'We do not have a time line at the moment for product certification approvals; however, we will keep our customers informed via e-mail, updates on our web site, and through press releases as quickly as we have confirmed dates.'

That should answer the "have they charged cards yet?"... I don't see how when they haven't the government approvals yet. I wouldn't expect much to be on the next financials at this rate.

WHAT the hell was that ...today ???
In order to sell any product anywhere in the world it must pass several agency approvals that vary by region or nation.
In the US, products must meet FCC and safety approvals (this is usually indicated by the UL or ETL logos for the product safety). The tested sample must represent the finished product but it does not have to be a production model. In other words they could have started the process before receiving the units from over seas. Testing could take a week, if all goes well, with final approval and paperwork taking another two weeks.
For most of Europe products must meet the CE product requirements as well as safety, again this could take two to three weeks.
Australia, China and other also have their own requirements...

Dude, you guys calm the F down... Geeze, I hope you don't go through your whole life like this. In buisness things happen, if they did have to delay a week or two because of test and approval give them that. I am also sure that is why they are sending out "Test" units. These would fall in a "market" test unit and may not be tied in with any certifications.

I actually made about 20% on the new batch of shares I bought! Wish I had a big order in for QBID at .0055 too! I only put the limit order in for .02 when I left this morning and we were at like .0228 - I didn't REALLY think we'd get that low - but I'm happy for now.
Would someone please tell me WHEN and WHY it got to .018? Was it Before this Stall Tactic PR or AFTER it???? I figured the revised 10Q was this morning's reason for the drop - but had to leave and didn't see this POS PR til I got home after market was closed.
Thanks,

"Verification is the easiest approval to obtain. Examples of products that ONLY require verification are LASERS, blenders, vacum cleaners, etc."
So their it is - one of the easiest to get approval...

Over the past couple of months there was never a problem with the product itself! VKB works & works very well. People saw it in Las Vegas & were blown away. There may have been, as many have speculated, a few glitchs with manufacturing which in turn slowed production. But the big picture tells me there's more to it than that.
I believe Ken deliberately has been very slow bringing the Keyboard to market. It's about timing pure & simple & we will benefit from it. Ken started this company almost a quarter century ago. He's made his share of mistakes & has learned alot about the business world & the markets in general. IBZT
is his life. Lucky for us he's not about to make a mistake now.
*[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ THE BIG PICTURE ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]*
If you read post #00512 you know what I think of Beta! In this instance our measure of Beta is generated by sex appeal. VKB is sexy! VKB is a "COMPANY MAKER"! That's why he bought the license to market the VKB. Ken Schilling knows this & he also knows IBZT is much more than a keyboard. IBZT is a business with some real good talent. Our greatest talent & asset is Ken Schilling.
The keyboard has a business lifespan of approximately a year & a half at the out side. Oh it will last longer than that. But in the markets we will have competitors build stand alones & use it different ways to get around our license.
Also our keyboard, even with schools, hospitals & other institutions buying it & taking in to account possible competition, will probably reach a point of market saturation within 18 months at which time it becomes a commodity with greatly reduced margins rendering ever smaller profits.
At this point the worst thing that could happen would be to bring it to market & not be able to satisfy the demand. Don't let a trickle out, that would kill our momentum. A business like this needs to make a killing off the sex appeal & not stall it. Sex appeal gets old quickly & people see something often enough it looses it's luster & if they can't get it when they first see it, many quickly turn their attention to the next shooting star.
Ken wants to milk this thing for all it's worth so he's not bringing this to the market until he can satisfy the impulsive desire of everyone who lays eyes on it. Well over a million of these VKBs will be sold on impulse alone at first or second sight in Circut City.
By the time Ken is reporting windfall profits in an earnings report that may well surprise the whispered estimates, the Blue Tooth VKB will be ariving at Best Buy & the first manifestation of Blue Dock will be on it's heels. And IBZT will be an up & runing business with no question as to whether it is a going concern.
I bet they already have thousands built. There's only one thing slowing up delivery of the Virtual Keyboard,,, Ken! He will not let this thing fly till he's sure he has an un interupted ongoing supply.
In my very humble oppinion everything I've just written is why my pps targets are higher than most to the point that some people think I'm irrational.
Our time is at hand. At 3 & a half cents a share,,,
"These are the good old days!"
.........................................................
I hope Ken is building a war chest full of these things. Yes, tomorrow, 5/12/04 I will buy more of this stock.

I agree that VKB down the road will not be the main focus of IBIZ. Other companies do not need to get around our license, since IBIZ does not hold the "exclusive" patent to the Light Technology. I do believe however, that by the time other companies, such as Siemens bring their product to market, IBIZ will already have a more advanced model ready to ship, which will still give IBIZ the edge in the battle against these larger companies.
This is the first time this company will be producing a product on a massive scale. Of course they are being cautious. I don't believe they have them built in mass, but I find your statement intriguing. It is a position I have not really considered. If you are correct, IBIZ will have a firm grasp on the market from the outset.
If IBIZ can prove they can deliver a quality product in mass quantities to the public, it will immediately put these other larger companies on the defensive. Also, If they demonstrate this, XM and Sirius may be bidding more aggressively for contracts to their satellite radio for the PDA, which is currently in development.
BlueDock will be huge, and should be in production by the end of the year, according to Ken. If the VKB sells well, with little complications, and they show they can deliver a quality product to market in volume. I believe BlueDock will be the catalyst that propels IBIZ into mid cap status by early 2005.
Very nice post whizknock. I really enjoyed it. You may not agree with me, but at least we both see a bright future for IBIZ!
At any rate you're right! We're both on the same page in so far as this company has a future!

Who says Crime Doesn't Pay??? The $20G's is a cost of doing business to KS.
"Simultaneous with the filing of the complaint, Schilling without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations against him to the entry of an Order enjoining him from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and ordering him to pay a civil penalty of $20,000".

His job has been challenging to say the least, especially the last 2 weeks. In knowing his demands, my call today was one of only 3 I have made to him.
I'm sure like many people, the frustration level of us being at .0404 last Monday morning, only to be strong armed down to this level is tough to see. Even trying to time trades through this time has been a rough endeavour. Then, the news yesterday. No comment. I had to call Ed to clarify facts pertinent to the near future of this company.
First, they do indeed have the initial shipment of VKB's and additional shipments should be arriving once per week to meet demand.
Next, Circuit City order is in place with shipments of other IBIZ's products commencing, and eager anticipation of the VKB's.
Two major retailer contracts close to being signed and finalized.
This is all tremendous news. He has a call into Ken Shilling for clarification about the pr of yesterday, and said would call me after his discussion with him, which may be today or tomorrow, depending on when he talks with Ken.
Yesterday was the first he heard about any FCC approval needed. He understood the frustration of the share price delining from in the wake of last Monday's good news.

Who really think they go to fairs...show there products ... and at least don't sell them .... who think that is (IMO) real stupid !
...and IMO I don't see THE NEWS which one should be responsible for that drop down of the share price. I think (and I can see it at all/most shares) the whole market is down ... most shares are red ... heavy red !
But this is a political stock market (which one normally does have "short legs") ....and also the high oil price is responsible for the bad market... and so (at least) the whole industry is in the red. In case of IBIZ there's just a bad tendency, so short sellers does have an "easy game"... but there are no really bad news from IBIZ.... also the delay of about 2 weeks for certification isn't a really bad news which could be responsible for that (huge) drop down. IMO when the market comes up IBIZ will stand up too .... and the share price will rise ! And think about...IMO at the moment are all "bad" news out or do you see some more in the next future ?
IMO in the future there are only the good news left...for example "VKB sold" ... "new retailer contracts" ... "VKB now in mobile phones"...."Bluedock in stock" ... "Bluedock sells better then expected" ...and so on...and so on. I don't see much more bad news....I only see the future which one looks good ! ...or can anybody tell me what else shall happen next time, which could bring down the share price ? ....IMO only short sellers or daytraders, but no fundamentals !
100$ for them who can tell me THE real (IBIZ-related) reason which should be responsible for the drop down in the last days !

The real reason is that the staff at IBIZ are incompetent, overpromising, and sarcastic. That leads people, like myself, to believe that IBIZ is the wrong company to distribute the virtual keyboards. In sum, each new delay or some unpromising news makes us realize that IBIZ doesn't look too promising.
I can meet you somewhere to collect the $100
The market on a whole - at least the penny stocks are down. Several companies with good news are not moving this week... Maybe people are on Vacation or something. I wish I was.

[This message has been edited by Love the Market (edited May 12, 2004).]
I'm not delighted with how long this has taken, however I don't think it was intentional and I don't don't think what's happening now is a delay tactic. My feeling is that these people a accustomed to buying "mature" technologies that are either already tested/certified or just don't require certification. As far as I can tell this is also the first product that they have developed from the ground up. It is always tough and unfortunately the first time is when you learn all the twists and turns.
I've done this. Had people calling me all hours, staying up all night for months with an oscilloscope and soldering iron, driving all day to see some manufacturer. Then you get the first run, you find out that some component is too close to another causing a problem, the CPU firmware has an intermittent glitch, the PC software crashes. The machine shop calls and says the case plastic is cracking when they drill holes. People start calling the very next day, "Hey you idiots where are the units? We are leaving for the trade show today. Are you stupid?" Then you start to go through the problems. You fix them, have new pc boards made, get the manufacture to make some more. Then the manufacturer calls and says they can't start for two weeks because of another product being built. Then you finally get the second run and find the smaller problems. Then your software guy starts getting a divorce and can barely work. The PC interface cable company won't return your calls. Finally you get the bugs worked out and have to do FCC certification and other testing. Months have passed and you feel beat and hate to even look at the product, everyone thinks you're scamming them. The phone continues to ring and it usually is someone angry. You start to let the answering machine get it.
FCC testing can be a stressful the first time and in my case it was expensive. You have to schedule time at a certified testing facility (there are many) and either send the product to them or take it in person. After you get to the testing facility they set your product in a shielded metal room that looks like an expensive lawn shed. All kinds of antennas are aimed at the device to measure radio frequency emissions. You sit watching nervously as graphs appear on a computer screen. If a single point passes the limit you probably have to redo some part of the device. Sometimes you get lucky and go home with a pile of graphs and documents. If not you are in for scheduling another test session and more angry customers.
By this time many, many people are angry, some have completely given up on you and the product. Some may even threaten legal action or fail to pay you. Others who have stuck with you are happy to see the end product. If you've never done this before the schedule and path can be uncertain and it is grueling.
I'm not defending everything that's happening, but having been down this road I can empathize with iBIZ and partly for that reason, I like the company. Having infrequently or never issued an FCC covered product it is entirely possible that they just overlooked this requirement or just failed to mention it. In my opinion everything that has and is happening is perfectly normal and seems above board to me. We could have gotten more info, but most companies don't release every technical detail.
Just expressing my opinion and relating my experiences here, so please don't bash me. I'm long and hope we all do well. Most of all I wish iBIZ luck with the launch of this newly developed product.

Looking at the online manual for the VKB I ran across these specifications (page 17 of Windows PC manual) which have very positive implications:
o EMC per CE EN 55024 etc.
o Laser per IEC 60825-1 (Class 1)
CE is Conformite Europenne and IEC is International Electrotechnical Commission. These are European and international standards equivalent to the FCC Part 15 and FDA CFR 21 (the laser stuff) certifications that iBIZ is doing right now.
THIS GREAT! First it means that iBIZ is doing exactly the right thing to meet US and international regulations for electronic devices. Secondly, and most important, they will have documented certification and technical approval (a big deal) to import/export and sell VKB's almost everywhere in the world!!
This is a very good sign. Only a company serious about world wide sales would put the time and money into meeting all domestic and international standards. This company and product are for real. There is a plan and it is being followed as quickly as possible while trying to maintain quality and meet all regulations for consumer products.
Bring on the world-wide sales...oh and lets get that share price up a little! A company with this much potential should have a good share price!

"Our second quarter product shipments surpassed the combined revenue of our last two fiscal years," said Ken Schilling, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In February, March, and April we broke two year records in product shipments and sales volumes. Sales continue to remain strong as a result of the attention the company has garnered through the introduction of our new products. More importantly, iBIZ is well positioned to experience continued growth as we begin to fill the back log of orders we have for our exciting new products and as we begin to introduce new innovations."
"We believe we are on the verge of receiving FCC and Laser certifications, which will allow us dramatically increase revenue and expand relationships with major retailers," commented Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President. "Once this occurs, we believe that many new retailers will want the Virtual Keyboard. In addition, future revenue growth will occur from our higher margin, web-based sales, which have already contributed to sales increase we are seeing. If overall market acceptance is any indication, the line-up of products we plan to release throughout the year clearly has the potential to allow us an exponential increase in sales volume."

I haven't forgot the names of the 2 major retailers Ed Lewis mentioned yesterday either.
The market likes number and contracts. ONEV is a prime example of that this month. IBIZ's revenue was outstanding considering it does not include VKB sales and contracts which are soon to follow.
Today is a good day. Given what he advised, there is much more to be excited about.

....and they don't have had already sold VKB's !!!!! IBIZ seems to become a VERY STRONG company ! ...much more then the most of us can believe now !
The end of the year will become VERY interesting...IMO the share price at this moment will be soooo cheap compared with the year-end price ....that somebody of us will say to himself "Why do I've had not bought more in may !" ;-)
Interesting days are over ... will be interesiting how we close today and how we start tomorrow morning !

Guess I'm a little lost on this stock. Weeks ago with zero news and zero going on this stock stayed around .035 with little occasinal bumps to the .04 area.
Now with news and D@mn good news here lately this this is trading a full .01 less and dipping into the upper.01 area. Then I read post like yours that seem to see this as expected and I wonder what I'm missing. I'm not being jugemental or sarcastic, but I'm still learning this stock biz and wonder what I'm not seeing. To me it appears that the companies past promises have completely destroyed its credibility within the market but that assumption is made from reading the IBZT post since back in Feburary.
Thanks for the help on this.

IMO I would not sell whwn it hits 0,12 because if we are up till 0,12 ...then it will go up much more then this .... if we go to 0,12 we are in an up trend and then it could go much much higher with open end ;-) ...but I don't how high...maybe 1 Dollar ?!?! ....but not in short term, but at the end of the year ? or spring next year ? ...it all depends on high are the sales of VKB and the other products like bluedock...
So if it hits 0,12 it could be a great failure to sell IBIZ .... yes, you will a little 300% profit, but the real profit you can't take anymore ...you will look (from outside) behind the continous upclimbing share-price and so for what you've gone trough all the pain with the IBIZ shares at this time ?!?! To sell to earlier ist one of the most failures of "small" shareholders !
Hold IBIZ as long as you can when it is in a real up-trend and maybe you will become one of the real rich ppl ;-)
Ciao
I'm hoping if my other stocks hit high enough next week - AND this drops low enough again (no offense - but if we don't hear some truth SOON it will - but I have NO doubt this WILL explode as soon as VKBs are REALLY out and sales #s too) - I want to sell them all - and hopefully have enough $$$$ to have a total of 500,000 or more IBZT (it hurts that I could have had 'em at .0033 in Dec. but never got filled and didn't chase). 250,000 to hold no matter what, and 250,000 to trade the hell out of like I should have done all these months since Dec. - THe way things are right now - I don't mind putting over 80% of my Penny MOney into Ibiz. I just wish I had a TON of money because there are definitely a TON of bargains out there RIGHT NOW. UVCL, QBID, CDVJ, WNMI, TALL, LBTT, GZFX (Another I tried to buy at .003 but never got filled - was PGHI then in Dec) - All should be HUGE money makers IF you play them right, imo.
But NONE have the long-term potential or staying power of Ibiz - again, jmho.
Have a nice weekend all,
Steve
maybe we can find something in here
You think not realistic ? I think it's realistic .... and in the past there were many other companies outside which ones has had the same unbelievable growth in share price ! And in any case if it's possible to go from 100 $/share to 0,1 $/share ... the other direction in share-price is possible too...there are enough examples for it!
With a little luck and hard work it could become reality....because IBIZ is good positioned at the moment, but they must GO now and come out with all their products as fast as possible otherwise other companies can do the same and the actual advantage is gone !
Ciao ... and GOOD LUCK to all longs ;-)

It was a busy week for iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT), the developer of accessories for hand-held devices. It reported revenue of $434,000 for its second quarter, ended March 31, 2004, which surpassed its combined revenue for the past two fiscal years. It also said that it had shipped the first production units of the new Virtual Laser Keyboard to industry analysts, even while it awaits FCC and Laser certifications, which will allow it to ship the product to major retailers. The company’s Synosphere subsidiary also announced that it had retained GRID Strategic Advisors to assist in developing strategies for the commercialization and licensing of its satellite radio handheld accessory and lighted memory card patent pending technologies. This product should complement sales of the Virtual Keyboard, as the company will likely be able to market the two products to the same customers. The stock ended the week at $0.0252

Not tem mention one of 2 FCC licsences to operate anew buisness that is raking the airwaves by storm is worth. I will tell you those satellites are worth well over 2 billion. And the whole buisness os worth well higher than that. Now do you figures on what ibzt is worth. It is not even close. IBZT is not worth 10% of what SIRI has.
Then it will come down to the reviews. Is it all we hope it will be?
Do you think such a review will bring us up to the Promised Land?

Sales of the gadget will bring us to the promised land. $99.00 is a low price to play with this puppy. Who types 20-page papers on their pda anyhow? I use mine for short documents, notes, tasks.
Also... I heard virtual keyboard is reflections of finger nails... Even though I don't have a virtual keyboard to test it out, but I think virtual keyboard would have too many errors and bugs to be use in medical field...
If it response to finger nails, then consider while in a surgical, and doctor accidently slide his finger nails across the virtual keyboard while grabbing some papers on the desk... And doctor end up giving wrong surgery positions...
And I heard of this virtual keyboard will have possibility to be bring into school and college? Well in high school and middle school and elementary, kids dun even know where the keys are, and classes using white white lights, so keyboard will just disappeared on the table, how the hell are those kids suppose to know where to type... And even if they increased the laser that put image onto the flat surface... For those who don't know, red laser kills your eyes!...
Why don't IBZT go to these kids and be like "Oh, your eyes will probably go really bad in few months and posibility of blindness using this keyboard, but it's ok you got a cool keyboard to type on and it makes those really annoying table tapping noise to annoy your teacher"
I really don't think it's a good idea to even have a virtual keyboard... Typing 30 pages essay or research papers and have to hear the table tapping noise... I would of smash the dammn thing...
I myself just think that because it's a new idea, so many people would have interest in it and will try it out first couple of months and IBZT stocks would rise upon purchases and contracts with big company... Once the product is out and stock is up, I am OUT!
Right now, this company has many more penny flippers than investors unfortunately. IBIZ needs to shed that image, and I think management knows that. The first goal this company need to focus on is getting off the OTC and onto the AMEX or Nasdaq. That will draw the big money in along with institutional buying. We won't have any of that as long as we remain on the Bulletin Board.
A $1 price target would give IBIZ a market cap of about $3 billion with if we figure 3 billion o/s. That's still $1 billion less than SIRI is sitting at with its piddly revenue. I'm not saying we will be valued at that, but there could be an infusion of cash flowing into this company, and it could take us to those levels initially, even though many would consider that overbought. Never underestimate the buzz a company can generate, which could spark frenzied buying.
About this day....was a political day for all stocks IMO !

LOL.. first of all, ALL technology products (with the exception of Tivo) are wants, not needs.
Secondly, Red laser only makes your eyes go bad IF YOU LOOK DIRECTLY AT IT. Geez.
Thirdly, I'm sure you can turn off the tapping sound.
Got any legitimate points to make?
In Germany normally it isn't possible for "normal" shareholders to "short" a stock ..."short selling" isn't allowed for ALL shares ! So can anybody tell me:
1) How does it work ...the NAKED short selling from Berlin-Exchange ? I've never ever heard from before !?!?!
2) Who can do the naked-short-selling ? The company ? The Broker ? Germans only ? Americans ? WHO ???
Thanks in advance for a detailled answer !?

Yeah, maybe if you look at it for a few weeks continuously. I'm 99.9% sure its a helium neon laser (not very high frequency) that puts out a few mW, if that. I would not be terribly worried about looking directly into it. It is no stronger than a laser pointer, and how often do you see people wearing laser eye protection during presentations where a laser pointer is in use. Looking directly at the sun is worse.
In a physics lab we have an argon (green) lazer that can cause damage you even if it reflects off a pen tip into your eye. The VKB is less than 1/1000th as powerful as that one.

Well, IBZT completely fits the profile of companies who have suffered through this. Here are a few news links (for other companies) for those who haven't heard about "StockGate" yet to get up to speed on what is apparently happening in Berlin.

To answer your original question... Yes, I think it has EVERYTHING to do with it. Just my opinion here... I don't have any proof. IBZT just fits the profile PERFECTLY though. It's a high volume penny stock that is volitile and has been sliding down the toilet on good news with a solid backlog of orders and more products coming soon. The better the news gets, the lower the stock price falls. I have seen quite a few resons for increased selling pressure over 20 years of trading, but "very good and improving news" is a pretty unusual one. I just don't buy the idea that this selling is just your standard "I'm tired of waiting for this company to deliver" type of selling pressure. Granted, there have been delays... but that soen't explain why investors would fold their hands in droves on the news that the long-awaited big product is finally coming down the home stretch and heading for the wire. There is something else happening here... all IMHO

Even if not by design, Ken just might find himself in a place where there are plenty of keyboards to help cover demand.

I sent an email to IR explaining what I had heard about the Berlin Exchange shorting issue and got a response stating that they were working to delist from the exchange. At least they're aware of the issue. I don't think this will do anything until it's delisted. Many great companies have been put out of business with issues like this.

Good deal. Thanks for contacting them. Step 1 is to stop the fall off the edge of the earth. Step 2 will be to start working back through the new resistance levels that pop up when a stock bottoms out like this and then tries to recover. If we get news of the final approvals for distribution of the virtual keyboards, that should at least take us back to the recent .035-.04 range... if we can stop the hemorrhage first.

The FCC doenst have a problem with standard laser pointers that you can buy at staples, do they?
My semi-professional opinion is that its nothing to worry about. Right now ken schilling has much bigger things to worry about, like regaining the trust of investors (which may never happen).
Alot of people are looking at this stock... That's a good thing... But then again, people loose trust in this Schilling dude already... Sigh...
IMO next "UP-day" will come when VKB will receive the FCC-certification !

Think about it. A company with an outstanding new technology product just releases it Second quarter results showing it's revenue for that quarter was greater than the previous two years and it doesn't even include sales from it's new product that's gotten rave reviews and is about to ship to market. The stock barely moves up and then falls back to lows again.
Something is up. This does not compute. SHORTING. Go research companies that have been shorted and you'll see the same pattern. Doesn't matter what they ship if they're beening shorted illegally it won't matter. JMHO.

NEWS states that this stock has been severely SHORTED.
Interesting to see what happens over the next couple of days.

I sent an email to IR this past weekend and got the following response from Ed Lewis from Comcast who handles their IR.
"IBZT is taking steps to be delisted from the Berlin exchange. IBZT never applied for listing to the Berlin exchange."
I got this on Monday 5-17-2004 so they should be coming off any day now. Check finance.yahoo for IBZT.BE and it should tell when delisted.

IBZT trying to get the IBZT.BE delisted from Berlin-Exchange? or the whole company IBZT itself? LOL Bankruptcy?

Delisted from Berlin Exchange. I think a this is why the stocks not moving.
Maybe why we've seen absolutely no PR since they wouldn't do any good with shorting going on. Once they're off and PR's come out it should take off again, BUT NOT UNTIL.

Seriously... Virtual keyboard is a wants... Not a need... IBIZ would have better chances of selling to the public of a virtual keyboard idea if they intergrated into PDA at PDA's production line rather than selling the virtual keyboard itself...
Also... I heard virtual keyboard is reflections of finger nails...
=====================================================
yeah right, reflection of finger nails? might as well say the reflection of a high gloss table would render it useless. Don't even know (or.. already knew, but is going to bash nonsensically anyway) that it's breaking the laser grid that results in inputs, not the reflection.
=====================================================
Even though I don't have a virtual keyboard to test it out, but I think virtual keyboard would have too many errors and bugs to be use in medical field...
If it response to finger nails, then consider while in a surgical, and doctor accidently slide his finger nails across the virtual keyboard while grabbing some papers on the desk... And doctor end up giving wrong surgery positions...
====================================================
Using a normal keyboard would ensure that doctors wouldn't slide his fingers across the keyboard accidentally? What if the doctor or nurse spills a liquid on the keyboard and short circuits it? Wait till keyboard is replaced before surgery continues?
====================================================
And I heard of this virtual keyboard will have possibility to be bring into school and college? Well in high school and middle school and elementary, kids dun even know where the keys are, and classes using white white lights, so keyboard will just disappeared on the table, how the hell are those kids suppose to know where to type... And even if they increased the laser that put image onto the flat surface... For those who don't know, red laser kills your eyes!...
=====================================================
Another idiotic claim.
There are different classes of lasers. Some are harmful, some are not.
Under the VKB's manual on the IBZT web page, it clearly states :
"The virtual keyboard is certified as a Class 1 Laser Enclosure. This means that the laser emission is eye safe under any conditions."
=====================================================
Why don't IBZT go to these kids and be like "Oh, your eyes will probably go really bad in few months and posibility of blindness using this keyboard, but it's ok you got a cool keyboard to type on and it makes those really annoying table tapping noise to annoy your teacher
====================================================
Is it completely silent when you type on a normal keyboard?
====================================================
I really don't think it's a good idea to even have a virtual keyboard... Typing 30 pages essay or research papers and have to hear the table tapping noise... I would of smash the dammn thing...
====================================================
Which idiot would use a laser keyboard to type a 30 page paper? You?
====================================================
I myself just think that because it's a new idea, so many people would have interest in it and will try it out first couple of months and IBZT stocks would rise upon purchases and contracts with big company... Once the product is out and stock is up, I am OUT!
====================================================
You know what? I personally think that you do not have a single share of IBZT. However, you do want to bash IBZT to death so that you could buy more at a cheaper PPS.
Nobody would buy into a stock and start bashing it.
Please post concrete evidence to your posts.
DD and links are much welcomed (NEW DD please. don't beat dead horses). Otherwise, you're nothing more than a grade F basher.

I am considering getting into IBZT. But could anyone on this board answer this one question regarding VKB keys. Have you actually used one? Does it really work as you imagined? It's kind of hard for me to believe it works. Here is why.On a regular keyboard you'll notice that your fingers contact the keys two distinct ways. 1) touch to actually depress a key and 2) touch without depressing the key only as a means to keep in contact with the {A,S,D,F & J,K,L,;} keys to enable and ensure that your hands and fingers always remain roughly in the same orientation or position over those 8 reference keys as you type away. You simply cannot type accurately without your fingers being in contact with at least several of those 8 keys. How in the world can the laser infrared system detect the difference between those two types of contact?
Answer: Your fingers (hand) must hover above the VKB without touching at anytime unless your finger intentionally touchs a virtual key to enter that symbol into the PDA. To be able to do that you must constantly keep your eyes on the keyboard to make sure your fingers goes exactly to the virtual key you wish to contact. In normal non-virutal typing eye contact is not needed. Thus it would seem to me that the VKB would be pretty inefficient and problematic.
Here is a (link) photo picture of the IBZT keyboard: www.vkb.co.il/1.jpg IMHO it's quite deceptive.
When reporters etc describe or show IBZT VKB it sounds or appears to me as if they had not actually tried one themselves but giving 2nd hand versions of what it would be like. Sure, if you press or poke 2 or 3 virtual keys with one hand and demonstrate that clicks ensue and corresponding symbols are displayed on the PDA screen it works but that is not the same as typing away on the fly.
Please prove me wrong. I tried to sign on at Raging Bull IBZT to bring up the same question there but was unable to do it. Maybe someone there might have the answer.
It would be good to find out ASAP.Regards,
Y
You can't compare this to an actual keyboard because it is originally designed for PDA use. PDA's do not come with standard size keyboards so the comparison is a mute point. I have a PDA and without ever using the VKB I know it'll be a heck of a lot easier, faster, and more acurate than using the stylus and poking around on the little screen.
There will be other uses for it. For mobile use in say maybe military, medical, etc. Tons of specialty use most likely, but it's not going to replace desktop keyboards so lets stop trying to compare it to one. That's not the niche market these will fill.
[This message has been edited by memphis (edited May 20, 2004).]
As for the "How it works" comments... I needed my "home" keys back when I started typing. Yes I still tend to feel them when they are there... but I don't need them. If you think about it instictively, you only need glance for a second and then type away.
Should even work for the "hunt and peckers"
You believe in this stock so blindly that you don't even see what is going on lately... Do you see any green lately? And Keyboard is even out too... Even a a profit report came out and it got red!!! OMG!!! This is like the first time I ever seen it... A red on a good quarter report!...
Only person I respect on this message board is Neo... He knows the obvious and still hoping... The rest of you just hoping and wishing so dammn blindly that when someone say something, ya'll consider it as basher this basher that...

Also SimpleGuy, Welcome to this board =)
A couple of thoughts,
One, is that I read in the latest issue of Business Week that PalmOne would be opening stores like Apple did.
Perhaps you could showcase BlueDock, VBK, etc.
Second, CareDecision Corp, the developer of patent-pending Wi-Fi PDA technologies for e-health and EMR applications,
and CareGeneration a leading distributor of pharmaceutical products and a division of Kelly Co. World Group, Inc. ,
today announced that the companies have come to terms to jointly implement and manage a sweeping e-prescription initiative
for America's medically uninsured. The program will involve the distribution of CareDecision's MD@Rx PDA products to a
national base of approximately 55,000 physicians who provide care to the indigent and the medically uninsured.
They will eventually distribute 55,000 PDA's to the physicians. This is another great opportunity to utilize BlueDock,
the VBK in a health environment, and other PDA products.

Robert Cox CEO
Telephone: 631-544-0181

If Palm opens a store they will definately display IBZT products!
Bank on that!

If yes, this could be a nice run up, when delisting will be confirmed by IBIZ !?!?

Oh yeah lets pass the buck.
Well the good thing is people are starting to bash Ibzt so it will probably go up when we least expect it. Seems to happen when everybody starts getting tired of talking up the stock.

Schilling is doing the old tricks again to me... First, blamed on Isreal slow manufacturing product, then blamed on slow shipment due to suck glue, then blamed that they needed time to find a new manufacturer, then blamed that they need a better virtual keyboard cover to better display in retail shop, then blamed on FCC holding the product distribution... Now blaming on manufacturer Enterprise Capital... I'm sure that there were many that I missed... And I wonder what's next that they can blamed on... LOL

I have done enough DD on IBZT. Have you? If you had, you'd have read the patent filings on the VKB and knew its function and specifications. You wouldn't be talking about harmful lasers or aspects of the keyboard which is untrue.
If you believe you had done your DD and IBZT is such a piece of junk, why wont you just sell and move on? Since obviously it'll be going down some more if what you say and believe is true.
20000 shares?
Believe me, there are numerous investors with more than 5 million shares of IBZT and still holding.
Every .001 up or down is $5000 or more. Reason being, they are long term investors. 6 months, 1 year, 2 years. If you want a quick buck, you're better off day trading stocks with only fluff PRs and nothing to show for.
I do not pump IBZT nor do I bash it.
I just want to get the facts straight. Nothing more, nothing less.
I will not post anymore unless there are more facts to straighten out.
Good luck to you in your trading endeavors.
Believe it or not, I do enough DD on this IBZT and read too many message board to get enough infos that I need... And yes, 20K shares is a small quantities... I bought that cause thinking of its new technology, but did more DD and found alot of pure jokes on this company from the CEO himself to the company itself...
Yes, some people bought alot of this shares by either bought alot of it when each shares was in the tiny micropennies... Or they recently bought it and loose ****t load of money where they could of spend to buy more shares for less for $0.018... So they are probably crying their a$$ off right now... Aint nothing so happy about it...
About me selling my shares or not, what difference does it make? I am moving on with my porfolio and my IBZT shares is worthless, might as well leave it there.
But whatever happens, happens... I don't have time to argue with you. If you see this as a great potential, then go ahead and help yourself with some more shares...
GOOD LUCK my friend...

You can bank on that as well, Larva. Whiz, aren't you the moron who has a manic compulsion to incessantly repeat "All we have to do is launch" all over the Putrid- I mean QBID- boards? What a childish moron you are. By the time Palm opens a store, there will be several different brands of VKB's out- and IBIZ will have its new date set for the release of their VKB. Hold this one, Larva- it may make your grandkids $20 richer in a few decades.

About me selling my shares or not, what difference does it make? I am moving on with my porfolio and my IBZT shares is worthless, might as well leave it there.
But whatever happens, happens... I don't have time to argue with you. If you see this as a great potential, then go ahead and help yourself with some more shares...
GOOD LUCK my friend...

Since then they have made the units much brighter.
I loved the unit and had to have one. Now that I have an order, all I am is to wait
I was told many times by workers their that they would hold one for me if I was still in town.
Anyways,
Here are some pictures of the office:

I really have to wonder if this is our answer or just our hope. I checked the Berlin listing the other day and just didn't see enough volume in recent weeks to really make THAT much difference. I wish I could say that I'm convinced this is our problem, as it would be nice to have something concrete to pin this slide on. Unfortunately, I was convinced PRIOR to checking it out, but not any longer. As for the today show publicity, I think that's SUPER!... but hope they don't get TOO carried away on talking about how soon these virtual keyboards may be built into PDA/phones as an all-in-one type of device. The reason many people hold off on buying technology is because they don't want to put out any money when something much better is supposed to be coming in a few more months. One thing on our side is that it isn't too expensive, which means they might step up for one now and then simply toss it aside for the BBD a few months down the road. It isn't like buying a plasma TV... it's just $99.00! We DO need to get this thing shipped to the masses though. If shipping FINALLY starts right around the time that a major competitor announces they are bringing a supposedly superior (more bells and whistles) version to market later this year, then many people will likely hold off and wait for that. It probably wouldn't impact the standing backorder too much, but it would probably be felt when units hit store shelves and don't move as well as hoped. This is our time to hit an untapped market without competition. I really hope we don't end up blowing it! I know this all may sound a little negative, but believe me... I'm as hopeful as anyone that we finally take off. I'm long with ~1MM shares... but I'm not blind to the reality of business and competition. Timing will be very important to get us jump started and build momentum as blue dock approaches this point.

For Palmtops, a Ghostly Keyboard Can Materialize on Command
Roy FurchgottPublished: May 27, 2004
Palmtop computers are great labor savers, except when you are entering data on the little touch screens. An external keyboard can help, and one from Ibiz Technology lightens the task, literally.
The Virtual Keyboard uses a laser to project the image of a keyboard onto nearly any smooth flat surface, placing a full-size glowing red keyboard on your desk.
The projection comes from a 3.5-inch device with a camera inside that spots the position of your fingers. The camera is triggered by an infrared beam projected at a height of two millimeters above the desk surface. When the beam is broken, the camera checks your finger position and registers the key.
The $100 keyboard can be back-ordered at http://store.yahoo.com/ibizpda/vike.html ; the wait is estimated at 30 days. Ibiz says the keyboard will work with any hand-held running the Palm OS 3, 4 or 5 or Pocket PC 2002 or 2003 operating systems or any desktop PC running Windows 98 or later (except Windows Me).
In a test, the keyboard had trouble recognizing my Palm Zire 71. Ibiz said that was because of the unique design of the Zire connector. But with the cable held in place, the keyboard worked. And it was more than fast enough to deal with my best hunt and peck. Roy Furchgott

Why not? Even if someone is shorting shares it needs to be reflected as a buy some where. If someone like me buys it better show up as volume because I'm buying from a cash account!

How long has it been since the IBIZ PR on FCC approval? 3 weeks. And all they needed was the FCC verification.
While I was considering the situation, I sent an email to Ken.
Since this email did not specify on copyright or restricting the email to personal correspondence, I shall post it.
Ken is in Italy on vacation for his 30th anniversary and will not be back till June 11.
I seriously doubt the VKB will make it to the market before June 11.
My opinion is, if I Was the CEO of a company with such a revolutionary product, I would want to be around when it finally ships.
I am not saying you should buy or sell. Just stating some facts and voicing my disappointment in IBZT.
GLTA. I may get back in at a later date.

Dear Mr Schilling,
I wrote an email to NTS(amongst a few others), a national testing lab
for FCC certification, verification and Declaration of Conformity(DoC).
Based on the specifications of the VKB, it was concluded that
Certification is not required. A verification or DoC would be more
than
sufficient and would put the product on the market within 1 week. (2
days was what the NTS representative told me it'd take to complete
testing)
It is almost a month since the VKB arrived at IBIZ and yet there is
still no news on the status of the VKB. This revelation, that all is
required is the DoC and it doesn't take more than 1 week, is seriously
very disturbing.
Mr Schilling. You want investors to believe in you and IBIZ. Yet the
disseminated information doesn't make sense at all.
Please clarify it for me and my fellow investors. Meanwhile, I will
consider carefully whether I should disseminate this piece of important
information to them.
Thank you for your time.

It would be my pleasure to discuss the testing requirements and costs for your device. Please provide the following information so that I can develope a quote, if you so desire:
1) What is the interface between your device and the host (USB, etc.)?
2) What is the User's environment (residential, professional, industrial, etc.)?
3) Is your device hand-held, stationary, or a combination thereof?
4) What is the power supply to the device (battery, USB, ac/dc converter, etc.)?
5) Do you require testing for other global regions (CE Marking, Japan, Taiwan, etc.)?
6) Do you require Product Safety testing as well (UL, CSA, etc.)?
7) If you do need product safety testing, has the laser assembly been tested to any laser product safety requirements?
What we would need for testing is either a production unit or a pre-production unit built to production specifications. If it is a simple PC peripheral, then testing would be to the Class B FCC requirements resluting in a simple "Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity". I can help you with that process. Tests for FCC usually take about two days, CE Marking would add a couple more days to that. Of course this could all change based on my review of your device and the ansers to the above questions.

Dear Betty,
so sorry to bother you. I obtained your contact information from the A2LA site
and I hope you'll be able to help me with regards to verification of FCC
conformity.
If I have an input device with a Class 1 laser (similar to a laser pen scanner
or maybe a CD/DVD R/W), lets say, with the ability to be linked to PDAs or any
computing device, would NTS be able to verify the device for FCC conformity?
If so, what would I need to send it in for verification?
Would I need a prototype or production model for submission?
How long would the process normally take and what is the costs associated with
it?
Thank you in advance and best regards.

I have forwarded this note to Bonnie xxxxxx, who can work up the product safety portion of your quote as well.
EMC:
Proper application of Verification, Cerification and Declaration of Conformity to a particular product are important, but only apply in the US. 47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B §15.101 contains a table which lists which authorization process applies to the different types of devices. Based on your description I would place your device into the Declaration of Conformity (DoC)category. For this I would test your product in our A2LA accredited lab, write the appropriate report and then you would complete a simple, one page DoC stating conformance. There is no need to assign an FCC ID number, or to make submittals to the FCC lab (which could take eight weeks or longer). With the DoC approach you're in the market almost immediately. I could help you with selection of the FCC labels and completion of the FCC DoC.
For the European Union's CE Marking the process is nearly identical. We test, issue a report to you and you fill out an EU DoC to the appropriate Directives. You may need Product Safety testing as well. Again, as soon as you can prove conformance you are in the market.
Australia and New Zealand are similar to the EU process.
For Japan and Taiwan you will need to test in a VCCI or BSMI approved lab, respectively, and receive an appropriate report. We can do this for you and I will help you through the submittal process. With the VCCI this is an electronic submittal, but with the BSMI you need to have an agent in Taiwan make the submittal for you. If you've no company personnel in Taiwan then I can give the name of an independant agent to you.
For China PRC and Korea you need to test in their countries. Again, I can give you a name to work through.
The rest of the world accepts data from either the FCC or CISPR (CE Marking is based on CISPR), and our report will cover them as well.
The nice thing about NTS Fullerton Division is that I will provide you with a widely accepted, single EMC report.
Product Safety requirements will be discussed by Bonnie xxxxxx, our Product Safety Manager.

Dear xxxxxxx,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Really appreciate your help.
I am quite new to this, thus learning along the way and hope you'll bear with
me as I try as best as I could to answer your questions.
1) What is the interface between your device and the host (USB, etc.)?
-- RS232 serial interface
2) What is the User's environment (residential, professional, industrial,
etc.)?
-- Able to perform alonside with any computing device. Eg. PC, PDA, Pocket
PC...
3) Is your device hand-held, stationary, or a combination thereof?
-- Stationary
4) What is the power supply to the device (battery, USB, ac/dc converter,
etc.)?
-- Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, or AC/DC converter.
5) Do you require testing for other global regions (CE Marking, Japan, Taiwan,
etc.)?
-- I'll need to be able to market it globally, thus it has to conform with
international safety standards as well.
6) Do you require Product Safety testing as well (UL, CSA, etc.)?
-- Main concern is the red diode laser. Need to certify that it's eye-safe,
Class 1 enclosure.
7) If you do need product safety testing, has the laser assembly been tested
to any laser product safety requirements?
-- Not tested yet. Specifications on the laser should be correct.
I do have a question though. What difference is there between FCC
certification vs verification?
Browsing through the internet, I was under the impression that it takes
anywhere between 30-90 days for certification. Your estimation that it takes
2 days for FCC testing really caught me off guard. Could you clarify that for
me please?
Thank you and best regards.

Since the product will need FCC approval, I sent inquiries to various testing labs using the VKB's specifications.
This served a dual purpose. I could learn about the FCC approval process and also gauge on the progress of the VKB.

Pang,It would be my pleasure to discuss the testing requirements and costs for your device. Please provide the following information so that I can develope a quote, if you so desire:
1) What is the interface between your device and the host (USB, etc.)?
2) What is the User's environment (residential, professional, industrial, etc.)?
3) Is your device hand-held, stationary, or a combination thereof?
4) What is the power supply to the device (battery, USB, ac/dc converter, etc.)?
5) Do you require testing for other global regions (CE Marking, Japan, Taiwan, etc.)?
6) Do you require Product Safety testing as well (UL, CSA, etc.)?
7) If you do need product safety testing, has the laser assembly been tested to any laser product safety requirements?What we would need for testing is either a production unit or a pre-production unit built to production specifications. If it is a simple PC peripheral, then testing would be to the Class B FCC requirements resluting in a simple "Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity". I can help you with that process. Tests for FCC usually take about two days, CE Marking would add a couple more days to that. Of course this could all change based on my review of your device and the ansers to the above questions.

Subject: RE: InquiriesDear xxxxxxx,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Really appreciate your help.
I am quite new to this, thus learning along the way and hope you'll bear with
me as I try as best as I could to answer your questions.1) What is the interface between your device and the host (USB, etc.)?
-- RS232 serial interface2) What is the User's environment (residential, professional, industrial,
etc.)?
-- Able to perform alonside with any computing device. Eg. PC, PDA, Pocket
PC...3) Is your device hand-held, stationary, or a combination thereof?
-- Stationary4) What is the power supply to the device (battery, USB, ac/dc converter,
etc.)?
-- Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, or AC/DC converter.5) Do you require testing for other global regions (CE Marking, Japan, Taiwan,
etc.)?
-- I'll need to be able to market it globally, thus it has to conform with
international safety standards as well.6) Do you require Product Safety testing as well (UL, CSA, etc.)?
-- Main concern is the red diode laser. Need to certify that it's eye-safe,
Class 1 enclosure.7) If you do need product safety testing, has the laser assembly been tested
to any laser product safety requirements?
-- Not tested yet. Specifications on the laser should be correct.I do have a question though. What difference is there between FCC
certification vs verification?
Browsing through the internet, I was under the impression that it takes
anywhere between 30-90 days for certification. Your estimation that it takes
2 days for FCC testing really caught me off guard. Could you clarify that for
me please?
Thank you and best regards.xxxxx

LOL, I thought you were really defending the company and CEO... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS!? LMAO... Like I said, most people are just blindly hoping in this message board... I been looking at this damn thing for the last 6 months and all promises bull****s that it gets on my nerves...
I do not post blindly.
I don't base opinions on nonsense.
What I have, are facts.
You don't have to read it. it's for the benefit of true investors, not you.
Pardon me while I wipe the tears of laughter from my face, but your post is about the silliest thing I've read in quite some time. What appears to be, on the surface, a well thought out argument for selling of your shares, is really an arrogant, pompous and rather overblown piece of dribble that never really addresses the long term prospects and future success of this stock.
So now your out and on to bigger and better things. Don't let the IBIZ door hit you in the ass on the way out. As Warren Buffet once said - "The Transfer of Wealth is made from the impatient to the patient."

Over the past couple of months there was never a problem with the product itself! VKB works & works very well. People saw it in Las Vegas & were blown away. There may have been, as many have speculated, a few glitchs with manufacturing which in turn slowed production. But the big picture tells me there's more to it than that.
I believe Ken deliberately has been very slow bringing the Keyboard to market. It's about timing pure & simple & we will benefit from it. Ken started this company almost a quarter century ago. He's made his share of mistakes & has learned alot about the business world & the markets in general. IBZT
is his life. Lucky for us he's not about to make a mistake now.
*[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ THE BIG PICTURE ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]*
If you read post #00512 you know what I think of Beta! In this instance our measure of Beta is generated by sex appeal. VKB is sexy! VKB is a "COMPANY MAKER"! That's why he bought the license to market the VKB. Ken Schilling knows this & he also knows IBZT is much more than a keyboard. IBZT is a business with some real good talent. Our greatest talent & asset is Ken Schilling.
The keyboard has a business lifespan of approximately a year & a half at the out side. Oh it will last longer than that. But in the markets we will have competitors build stand alones & use it different ways to get around our license.
Also our keyboard, even with schools, hospitals & other institutions buying it & taking in to account possible competition, will probably reach a point of market saturation within 18 months at which time it becomes a commodity with greatly reduced margins rendering ever smaller profits.
At this point the worst thing that could happen would be to bring it to market & not be able to satisfy the demand. Don't let a trickle out, that would kill our momentum. A business like this needs to make a killing off the sex appeal & not stall it. Sex appeal gets old quickly & people see something often enough it looses it's luster & if they can't get it when they first see it, many quickly turn their attention to the next shooting star.
Ken wants to milk this thing for all it's worth so he's not bringing this to the market until he can satisfy the impulsive desire of everyone who lays eyes on it. Well over a million of these VKBs will be sold on impulse alone at first or second sight in Circut City.
By the time Ken is reporting windfall profits in an earnings report that may well surprise the whispered estimates, the Blue Tooth VKB will be ariving at Best Buy & the first manifestation of Blue Dock will be on it's heels. And IBZT will be an up & runing business with no question as to whether it is a going concern.
I bet they already have thousands built. There's only one thing slowing up delivery of the Virtual Keyboard,,, Ken! He will not let this thing fly till he's sure he has an un interupted ongoing supply.
In my very humble oppinion everything I've just written is why my pps targets are higher than most to the point that some people think I'm irrational.
Our time is at hand. At 3 & a half cents a share,,,
"These are the good old days!"
.........................................................
I hope Ken is building a war chest full of these things.

...don't you understand ? It's much more important that the VKB will come ASAP. And it isn't sooo important if this is in june in july or in october .... THAT it will come (fully functional, with all the necessary certificates and with a firm which is able to produce enough VKB's for the whole world market) THAT IS IMPORTANT !!!
Better all is clearified before and not after the launch of the VKB ! ... so it will become no "short shot" !

One paragraph states:
[The exchange attorney confirmed that some companies wished to be delisted,
and that "trading was stopped for all companies requesting it."]
Trading suspension seems to be the first step before delisting.
Now if the Ibiz gang are looking into this issue, as previously posted, you'd think they would have at least been able to suspend the .be trading for now?? According to Yahoo finance there still was trading volume on May 25th.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=IBZT.BE
I'm interested to see what happens over the next couple of days. Will Volume remain at 0?
I'm not bashing, just passing along info. And yes, I do own the Stock.

They have not done so, and I'm starting to have my suspicions.
I'm with you mainstay. I read an article where someone from the Berlin Exchange was interviewed about this and they stated that all it took to get delisted was a request. Others have been delisted without taking this long so it does make you wonder. I was excited to invest in this company at first but I've seen too many promises that the company didn't follow through on. Not Bashing, just realistic.
If they don't do something quick this may never turn around.

PR is well overdue. At least, confirming they are out of the Berlin Exchange...that doesn't seem hard to do.

Mark's email was dated 05/27/2004, so it appears that the initial contact with the Berlin exchange only happened last Thursday.
Mark requested information on how to go about being delisted from the Berlin exchange.
The Exchange's reply stated that there was no way for naked short selling to occur on the Berlin exchange and it was not their fault and that a lot of other companies have been blaming the Berlin exchange on stock prices falling, blah blah blah. The exchange also stated that IBZT is not "listed" on the exchange only "traded" on the exchange which they claim is perfectly legal through some third-party trading agreement. They did give contact information for the people that iBIZ needs to contact to no longer be traded on the Berlin Exchange.
So... if Mark is staying on top of this we should see iBIZ being "de-listed" from the exchange in the next 1-2 weeks gauging from TSBB's timeline of being delisted.
I have the actual emails, but I was not sure if it was appropriate to post here or not.
This makes me sick if this is true. It seems to me that Mark has no real interest in having IBIZ delisted from that Exchange, and is passing on information that in essence is saying that there is no naked shorting going on at the BE, so IBIZ investors should not worry. We all know that's just BS.
[This message has been edited by mainstay (edited June 02, 2004).]
[This message has been edited by mainstay (edited June 02, 2004).]
The Berlin Exchange stated in their reply that there was no short selling of the stock and that it was basically impossible for that to happen in Germany.

They are not on top of this. I emailed IR around 3 weeks ago or more and the response I received was that they were aware and working to get delisted. If they just started on May 27, then they aren't too concerned or just more blundering as usual.

Their Response Dated 05/27/2004
Dear Mark,
thank you for your E-Mail. The shares are traded (not listed) on our
Stock Exchange Berlin. Please find details about trading, rules and
regulations in the third market attached.
Trading international shares on the Berlin Stock Exchange is legal and
according to the rules. None of the members of the Berlin Stock Exchange
is breaking the rules. Trading in the third market on the Berlin Stock
Exchange is free of charge. The daily process of listing new companies
is routine for us. So every day we have a lot of new companies in the
pipeline. You can find all shares listed in Berlin on Internet in
"Amtliches Kursblatt". Until the start of the trading you find new
companies under "about us , new companies".
In principal, short sellings are not possible in Germany. Only
professional investors may short sell subject to severel restrictions.
One of these obliges the short seller to settle the trade within two (!)
days. If a trade can not be settled within two days due to open fail to
deliver, the counterparty will buy the security on the market and
recover the damage caused by a higher price from the short seller
("buy-in"). This process called "forced execution" is regulated in our
exchange rules and is mandatory for everybody. Naked short selling is
not allowed in Germany.
Further, price manipulation is a punishable act by German Criminal law,
irrespective of the market segment.
The Berlin Stock Exchange is in contact with the SEC via its regulator
and checks all accusations.
On request of the SEC we examined the prices made on our exchange for
some companies. We came to the conclusion that none of these cases
involved short selling. In some cases, share prices went up due to a
majority of buy orders. Interestingly enough, in those cases where
companies blamed the trading on the Berlin Stock Exchange for falling
prices, our investigations revealed that the securities were either not
yet traded on our exchange or that no trading took place at all during
the relevant period.
In case you should decided that your company shall not be traded on our
exchange...

The you say to yourself, "I wish I had shares in the company that sells that way cool device"
Or how about imagining this...
There isn't actually any "crowd," but on a busy Saturday afternoon, several people do actually try out a virtual keyboard in the store. One or two even decide to buy one for a Christmas gift... so they take the one with better brand name recognition that sits next to the IBIZ Technology version. You think to yourself "Man, if IBZT had just gotten that thing to market before the big-name competitor caught up to them, I wouldn't have lost my butt!"
I'm not a basher. As stated previously, I hold ~ 1MM shares and would LOVE to see IBZT run. I just need to vent a little for a moment... not with the intent of convincing anyone to sell, but with the intent of getting a few things off my chest that may make me feel better while I'm completely under water here. First, the Berlin thing. I hope (like everyone) that we will be delisted and the whole world will suddenly be great again... but I don't count on it. Berlin-Bremmen isn't the only exchange where this could happen. There have been no names mentioned about who the "kingpin" of this scam is. They identified a broker that requested all of these listings... but there seems to be no investigation or allegations of wrongdoing. I'm sure naked shorting isn't simply the new German national pastime, so SOMEBODY is behind this whole thing. When Berlin is shut off, they can simply move on to the next exchange (if they haven't started already). Anyone for Canada? Right now when I look at the OS and float, play with a few charts, go back and do a little reading (which reminds me that we will likely have more dilution coming in the fall)... I conclude that we're buried here. If the keyboard hits big, we may get back above .03 and I can breathe a sigh of relief. On it's own, I don't see the VKB taking us much higher than that, because I'm not kidding when I say that we appear to be buried! Blue Dock would be a HUGE boost/help... but won't hit until Q4, which is after about a kazillion options mature. Timing should be just right for the insiders to cash out BIG on any rise in share price, which should ultimately take us down to the mat again. As far as the technology goes, I'm BIG on this company. That's what got me in to begin with... and the fact that I had identified a nice price channel helped a bit. I just think that timing is working against us with every day that goes by, and I'm more than a little frustrated at this point. I will gut it out as I have many times before, but this is a killer. The next news I expect to see released is that the certification was rejected based on some small thing, but now that they have produced several hundred thousand keyboards for inventory, they will ship them all back to Israel for modification so they can resubmit in 60-80 days and ship them all back here again! All we're missing here is a monkey and an organ grinder. OK, I'm not sure if I actually feel better or worse right now, but I'm done. Thanks for indulging me.

There is definitely no way they could ship out the VKB without getting the FCC approval. Once the company gets approval, we will hear about it. As for now, I'm buying more at these low prices. We will be rewarded.

Anyway, I'm holding long on this one. I still believe it is one of the anomalous penny stocks because we have a range of physical products.
Sooner or later the longs will be rewarded...

That is the reason I bought into this company because of its product portfolio and the good reviews it has received for its vkb. But I am not as confident with the people in charge of running this company. Due to the uncertainties of the market and the psychological warfare that occurs on a daily basis; it has some promising returns if for only speculatory purposes (potential revenue). But I guess everyone has a threshold and I'm just trying to find mine's.
...me not ! I'm still long and strong because nothing has changed...not in bad and not in good direction...so the strong fall makes no sence !
The raise (next time) will be unbelievable ! So I take some sleep now ;-)

Moses... your an authentic idiot. To suggest a company is in favor of their captial structure being diluted and eroded by non existent shares in order to explain away pps decline is just a freaking idiot. Just think about that you flippin' moron.

I do not know when but I do know that this Keyboard will be brought to market. I just hope it happens much sooner than later!

It sometimes has been slow but I've always had my orders filled within a couple minutes. I will be trying to buy more this week & let you know if there's any delay.

Sync! I'm genuinely thinking that anything in this range is a bargain because I'm not trading it for 1/2 cent profits. I wish it was impossible to get at .015! But that might just be a good price.
I'm holding for products to hit shelves & that includes Blue Dock as well as the satilite radio card.
Bagram! I just want Ken to get this & other products out there. Soon!
Best of luck to you!

I don`t see any of the products in the pipeline that will give the launch that this will give.
Sync! Blue Dock & variations of Blu Dock & the Keyboard may carry this thing further than many think. If this spikes huge, yes I'm taking profits but I'm actually believing that this is a company waiting to happen.

I hope I will be rewarded for holding long on this one. I bought last week thinking there was no way it could go lower that .019! Wrong.

I agree with you on relying on Barchart and they are always behind. If you paid any attention to the post it was to signify the trend, and it's right on the money, which was my point. Average of -6.035% loss per day for the last 5 Days. Look at any charts and it's easy to see.
I wouldn't ever listen to anything or anyone that told me to sell a stock that's been in the RED almost every single day for almost a month and a half. You might go broke. LOL
They HAVE to get the keyboard out eventually - After all that free publicity...

I agree. Like maybe tomorrow. But I don't agree on a good entry point. I wouldn't buy a single share until this turned around and headed up. If they're going to do something then it'll still be a great buy at .015.
My rule #3 - Never buy a stock on the way down, you never know where it'll stop.

I learned this the hard way. Bought SWYC on it's way down at .90 and watched it drop to .45. Bought more on it's way up and made good money on both buys but had almost three weeks of pain before it was over. It's a rule I won't break again. My advice is to never chase any stock, you're sure to get burned. Try and make your trading with zero emotion and strickly by your trading method rules and you'll make less mistakes.
Good luck trading.

I'm waiting for it to hit 0.005 to buy more... I'm sure it'll be there with all these shorting and time stalling...
EDIT: Actually. I would not have sold. I would have averaged down. It's not wise to take as big of loss as you did for tax purposes, imo. I have averaged down at this price, and will do so again if the price continues to drop. Once this is off the Berlin Exchange, you will see the pps begin to climb steadily. I think we are seeing a lot of covering going on right now.

I spoke on Wednesday to Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President of IBZT, who stated they are on the verge of receiving the necessary certification. Once the company receives the certification, IBZT will start shipping the keyboard, first to internet customers and then to Circuit City Stores.
------------------
Micah
There is NO faith or belief in anything KS says right now. I don't think the BE has any bearing on the price because of that. If they didn't know they needed this certification - they are LOUSY businessmen.
Hey - I've been in since Dec. 31 and never traded to make huge bucks like I should have. Personally - I believe they WILL get the VKB out some time this year, so I don't mind holding 6 more months to se .30+ So since I feel really long anyway, I hope it drops back to .005 or less for a few days so I can buy a ton where I should have bought a week earlier in Dec! If it does drop to .005 or less - I'll gladly buy a million at that price and hold em as long as it takes - even if I 'play' 1/2 on the way up. Wish I had done that for the last 5 1/2 months. I'd be sitting pretty on a pile of cash and free shares....... Oh well
All, jmho
Good Luck

We should be trading much higher than we are currently. I don't really care about the VKB thing. It will come in due time. The last 10Q was very impressive for this company, that is why I'm so stoked about IBIZ. Undervalued up to 6 cents without the VKB IMO.
Some reasons:
1) We are oversold !
2) next Press Release will come soon !
3) certification is just "in front of the door" !
4) The (heavy) sales will begin soon !
(remark: Go Google and take a look at which places in the whole world you can already buy (backordered!) the VKB ! It's really worldwide ... it's real impressive how many ppl are already waiting for this "little thing" !)
5) Bluedock is very near !
6) Volume is up too !
7) ALL bad messages are out !
8) "naked short selling" at BE is over !
9) ...you don't must be a Guru to see that only good messages will come out in the next future !
10)... I bought more @ 0,015 ! ...TODAY !
...YEAH !!! :-)))

Eric!
I bought some @ .05, .043, .03 & a load more @ .0202! I was getting ready to buy more after today in the .012 rage or lower. When I got home from work I cursed myself for not putting a bid in @ .0115 just because of all the down days.
But then I remembered it will not even phase me when I sell 20% @ .55 plus!
Sometime in 2005 we will see a buck & kick ourselves for ever doubting this thing,,,

Agreed. This is the year it needs to happen. This is a timing play. The technology isn't exclusive to IBZT... but the lead in getting it to market IS (for the moment). When that evaporates and the playing field eventually levels out, the luster will be lost. It doesn't mean that further appreciation isn't in the cards, it simply means that the curve will become much shallower. The "honeymoon period" will take place when the VKB ships to customers and probably will end AFTER the revenue from the initial BlueDock orders (backlog) is realized. After that, the big play will probably be trading on speculation about iBIZ being bought by somebody.
I was looking at days when volume was fairly heavy on the Berlin exchange (Apr 20; May 5, 17, 25; June 4. On these days, IBZT closed down all but one time. On days when our volume was up (here) but was not great on the BE exchange, we tended to have a nice close (May 13; June 9 for examples). Maybe, as we had hoped, we were getting killed on the Berlin exchange with naked shorting and now we may be able to turn the corner. I think we will know if that theory is going to play out soon enough.

I checked this out for myself and you have a very interesting find here! For all of those people who don't believe that naked short selling is occuring, check this out for yourself. You have to face the facts.
Point: IBZT is going up soon.

These people are really hopeless DOND... They are blindly hoping and wishing and whenever someone say something negative toward IBIZ, they brings out their stupidity statements about bashing and basher... Well just let their money disappear from their account then they'll believe... =)
If I had a dime for every time someone said that on this board, I'd be retired by now. Randomly click around on the site, and you'll find that just about every micropenny here has people talking about retiring on their shares. It just doesn't work that way people. QBID, GZFX, IBZT, CMKX, WNMI... if these are all "retire in one year" stocks, then the U.S. better start outsourcing more to India, because half the country is going to retire soon.
-R
In ibiz case, you have to understand that these problems have been caused by the manufacture and not ibiz in anyway. Its not like Ken lied to us, its just what was being told by the manufacture.
....you can say what you want ... I'm sure the products like VKB and BlueDock will ALL come out this year ... VKB soon and BlueDock at the end of this year !
And according the BIG feedback of the whole press, TV, industry and many Internet-sites ... the sales of these products will be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!
...so be cool ! ....and like a "GURU" ;-) in this forum always said: EAT MONSTER EAT !!!

Stage 1 - Accumulation. Stock is quiet, trading sideways and without a lot of volatility. Most everyone ignores the stock because it has no sizzle. Insiders hold large blocks of stock and quietly gear up for the distribution.
Stage 2 - Breakout. Volume jumps up, psychological barriers are broken. Insiders begin to tell their friends of upcoming significant fundamental change. Pros take notice and buy the stock on the coat tails of the well informed. The public ignores it because they have not read about the company in the paper yet. It must be a scam.
Stage 3 - Uptrend. As a larger audience learns of the company and its promise, more buying comes in to the stock and it begins to climb. Pros begin to sell, but slowly. Average investor begins to buy.
Stage 4 - Pullback. The stock has gone up too fast, and some profit taking arrives. The jumpy investor who got the entry timing right but lacks confidence in his or her decision sells the stock with a small profit, and smiles in the mirror. The Pro holds on, Average Investor looks through the newspaper to find justification for ownership of the shares.
Stage 5 - Resumption of the Uptrend. The pull back is short lived, and the stock bounces and continues higher. The wannabe regrets the sell, but provides self counsel on the merit of making a profit, albeit a small one. The Pro might sell a little bit more, but still holds the majority of the original position. The Average Investor is getting excited now, and thinks about what could have been if only he had bought when he first noticed the stock.
Stage 6 - Exhaustion of the Uptrend. The media takes notice, and communicates the company's merits to the masses. The masses buy the stock, and it goes up sharply with strong volume. The Pros sell with enthusiasm. The Average Investor owns it now, and is telling everyone who will listen. The wannabe Pro jumps back on, after all, he was smart enough to buy it when the trend started, so he knows the stock well. Will hope make it go higher?
Stage 7 - Gravity Works. Pro selling begins to weigh on the uptrend, and the stock fails to go higher despite high volumes. The stock starts to go down instead of up, and the Pro is almost sold out. The Average Investor continues to cheer lead, hoping to rally support. The wannabe ignores what the market is telling him, taking a loss is too painful to consider. The company is featured on the cover of a magazine.
Stage 8 - The Second Guess. The stock bounces and starts to go back up. The wannabe Pro averages down while the Average Investor gets back to advising friends of his stock picking acumen. Pros sell their remaining holdings and begin to look for another deal to play, or perhaps start short selling the stock.
Stage 9 - Out of Gas. The bounce is a fake out, and the stock moves lower again. The public own this stock, and they have no more power to buy. The Pro are making money on the short sales now, but are despised by the masses. Calls for short selling to be made illegal are made by the Average Investor, after all, the short sellers are the demons causing the sell off.
Stage 10 - Dead Cat Bounce. The Average Investor and the wannabe Pro have no pain tolerance left, and finally sell for a big loss. The short selling Pros are the only buyers to take the share off their hands, and provide the needed liquidity. The stock bounces, and some short term traders make a quick profit. The Average Investor either swears to never buy a stock again, or tells lively stories over drinks about the one that could have been.
Stage 11 - Post Mortem. Pros have forgot about the stock and are considering carpet samples for their new home in Florida. Average Investor continues to follow the company and buys loads of cheap stock to try and overcome the regrettable loss.
The stock market is mean. You can be a good analyst, but if you can't overcome the psychological traps of trading, you will do what the crowd does. To be successful, you have be one step ahead of the crowd, and trade with unemotional discipline. There are strategies to take advantage of each stage of the market cycle that can be applied just by looking at a stock chart. They just require a bit of knowledge

Just a couple months after the vkb really gets out their the blue dock will come out. People should start knowing who ibzt is.
On November 1, 2003, the Company granted an individual the option to purchase 200,000,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of the average closing price for the three days prior to exercise less a 40% discount. The option is exercisable commencing November 1, 2004 and expires after January 15, 2004.
HMMM, I would sure like to be this guy! That should be about the time BlueDock is getting ready to roll out.
Mr. Buffett usually eschews technology stocks, confessing not to understand how many of them can make money, but those with an eye for a bargain could find themselves looking at Phoenix-based iBIZ Technology (IBZT:OTCBB). Nearly three decades old, the company's stock has traded since 1998, under the symbol IBZT. iBIZ Technology has evolved from bank automation systems to personal digital assistants and other handheld computing devices. The stock appears to be just gaining momentum, hovering around the penny mark per share in early June, but has flown in the rarefied air of US$0.40 cents in the last 52 weeks. Trading has been fairly heavy, in the tens of Millions, with more than 2 Billion shares outstanding.

I love this stock, and what you say won't prevent the vk or bluedock from released and sold to the public. you don't honestly think these products are not going to be released do you? whatever I'll, make my money however I want, but thanks for your tidbit, the rhino. P.S. every day is a great day money made or not. IBZT... I'm in.
Yes, I do own IBZT... It got me disappointed pretty bad... And I DO myself believe that the vbk and the bluedock will come out... And it probably doubled at most at $0.05...

Enterprise Capital AG Continues Virtual Keyboard Shipment Delays
***
PHOENIX, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT), an innovative manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other handheld devices, announced today recent information has led us to believe that Enterprise Capital will not meet their latest agreed upon delivery of virtual keyboards. To date, a very limited amount of keyboards have been delivered to iBIZ. These keyboards, which were to be "finished product," were not. Among other issues, they lack any of the required certifications. Additional inventory, which was to flow at a rate that would include fulfilling outstanding orders by the end of June have not yet been delivered, nor do we have any indication from Enterprise that the Keyboards will be shipped. Since January there have been reoccurring delays in production, remedial advances in the assembly process after our factory visit in February led us to believe production output would be adequate to meet the product demand. Enterprise's inability to meet agreed upon delivery schedules even after prepayment for goods, has forced iBIZ to pursue other venues in an effort to safe guard our existing orders as well as fulfill future orders for the Virtual Keyboard. iBIZ Technology has made tremendous advances providing product awareness to the Virtual Keyboard technology. As a result of the overwhelming success we have experienced in this regard, it is our intent to build a redundant supply chain that will support our ongoing efforts.

Believe me - imo - and I DON'T want to see it - been here since Dec. - but we are going to crash in the morning like 1987 & 1929. EVERYBODY will be trying to sell at open and most WON'T be able to. It may open sub-penny. Could be a BIG Gap DOWN.
Will he go to JAIL this time? We've read that Ken Schilling has been fined by the SEC for phony PRs to raise the pps before. Given what's been going down with Imclone, Adelphia, Enron, HealthSouth and others - I HOPE he at LEAST goes to JAIL this time, whether we all file a class-action suit or not.
Good Luck all,

Siemens is also using the technology from VKB, Inc. overseas.

I wonder... does this news qualify along those lines?
Keyword in the PR: DELAYS!
More like stalling, cause there probably IS a virtual keyboard, but they just cant make enough to go into release...
Something is kinda dumb, if they moved to another manufacturing company to manufacturing their product faster, don't they need to build electronics and computers etc etc etc to make these chips and lasers lense, and etc etc?
Price getting too low to worry about selling now when I know long term this will be back to .03-.04 prices once they do deliver.

What happens with this stock ?
...and by the way....at Berlin-Exchange today IBIZ first down from 0,01 to 0,0088 EUR and at the end up again to 0,01 EUR !
something's wrong....but I don't know what ... IMO the news isn't such bad as many of us predicted at first....it seems the MM's don't sell .... IMO maybe only because the yesterday news don't talk about "NO delivery" ...the news told us only there's one more delay in delivery with no exactly date !

So can anyone say what might happen tomorrow? Do you think it will go back down to at least .007? I should have bought when I had the chance.
Brandon
But the activity of this stock has been altered and Im sure their is a solid short position on this company. The reason for the sending back to a cent by the close could be dollar cost averaging as well as shorts covering and taking the massive gains they have now before they can't do jack on berlin.

With all the noise about shipping, dates on independent sites as to availability as well as even doing PRs on packaging, at some point I expect to see these things on the shelves of retailers. I'm not real happy with this "Buying Opportunity"

Method. Nothing new. Averaging down & I plan on seeing .10 to .15 a share when they finally get their VKBs out at which point I'll have to let some of my more exspensive shares go for safety's sake. Fortunately I do not own any shares over .05! I keep reminding myself that Ken owns a huge position in this company & I only hope he makes himself rich & drags me along for the ride!

VKB available in U.K. Does iBIZ have any relationship with this company? The nightmare just getting worse ain't it.
@LTM- Do you still hold this stock or will you eventually sell your shares for a loss? I've been holding as long as you have and bought more at the time when this pr was release: http://www.ibizcorp.com/corporate/release/releasemay03_04.html
@Whiz... - Why do you still keep on buying dude? You've been averaging down for how long now? Do you still think KS will eventually ship the VKB in the U.S. soon and the Bluedoock by 4th quarter as they're suggesting?
If it wasn't for CMKX saving my butt...
------------------
I must agree with the people who held. The PR clearly stated that IBZT was working with another manufacturer to produce the VKB whom is not overseas.
The price decline is only temporary!

GLTA....
Maybe this company will manufacture the VKB for ibiz...IMHO...
VKB is distributed by Avenir Telecom and will be available on the
high street from July, price £130.
The VKB is real.....
Squeeze its sides and the VKB magically projects a glowing red
keyboard on to the table. Lucy Bullivant asks Priestman Goode about
the implications of this technological breakthrough portrait sam
piyasena
Product designer Paul Priestman's new design for a virtual keyboard
(VKB) operates beyond the physical realm as a trick of the light.
Appearing magically, full size, on a table surface in the form of a
glowing red projection, it is as simple and as understated as can be.
The beam emanates from a tiny, elegantly totemic product, like a
lipstick case, perfume phial or a salt cellar. It doesn't even have
an on/off button, and needs no more than a momentary pinching at the
top of its sides by the thumb and forefinger to turn it on. Pick it
up, and it turns off.
Laser technology activates the bright red image, and detection
software based on optical recognition allows users to tap the images
of the keys so the virtual keyboard behaves like a real one. That's
the whole point, says Priestman: `The amount of interaction with the
actual product is minimal.' Elegantly monolithic in form, it has a
very subtle presence and yet huge hidden technological scope. `Its
soft edges and contours make it easy to slip into a pocket or bag,'
he adds, `so that there's always a keyboard at your fingertips.'
Portability is one of VKB's greatest assets, making it effortless to
carry through airports: no longer a physically weighty object to lug
about, have fall off the luggage trolley, get nicked or left in the
back of a taxi. Twinned with this freedom is the fact that by being
virtual and full size, it naturally upstages all the twiddly
keyboards that come with PDAs. It doesn't need to squeeze its qwerty
family, aligned horizontally over a 26cm or so span for ease of
typing, on to the front of a PDA, or come as a fold-up kit. Cabled
up, it connects directly to a PDA, a mobile phone, PC or Mac. `It's
just like a mobile phone – rechargeable, lasting more than four
hours,' Priestman says, and on sale at £130 from the end of this
month. The colour red is the most efficient colour for energy
consumption, apparently. `People love it. It's great in a restaurant,
it causes a stir,' states Priestman.
The prospect of dozens of people tapping furiously on cafe tables
across the world, fingers drumming in a glowing red pool of letters,
doesn't sound a wee bit surreal to him. Priestman brings on his sales
patter as only the designer of such a far-reaching product can. `It
appears magically. It's powered by a small totem. It's the anonymity,
and the honesty. It does what it says it does. It's totally vandal-
proof, easy to clean, no hidden gaps. It's so unusual. The idea of
keys that hover in space: it's incredible.'
Doesn't VKB's virtuality put those not skilled in the art of touch
typing at a distinct disadvantage, their fingers slithering around
the table? No, says Priestman, because the keyboard, although
virtual, is highly legible. Clearly, for more than a few e-mails it
works better with a tactile surface – `It can be projected on to a
soft material, potentially, producing a more pleasurable feeling,' he
explains. Will it reduce the likelihood of RSI-related injuries? Too
soon to say, but a sensuous keyboard is attractive to use. He is
thinking about the whole future infrastructure in which VKB will be a
part, since this tiny totem turns upside down just a few conventions
about computer screen inputting activity. Such as, where is the
screen if your laptop is reduced to a red glow? `You'll still need to
be able to see what you're inputting.' Priestman Goode also designed
the sound feedback (a not too annoying little `dink' sound).
There is an irony that Priestman Goode – renaissance men of a
distinctly 21st-century kind, specialising in 3D branding; working in
product, environmental, industrial, transport, packaging and concept
design – are responsible for VKB. `It's design as it used to be.
We're now working on complete environments and processes,' Priestman
says. But he sees VKB's virtuality as far-reaching: `The technology
can be embedded into other products, and you just Bluetooth the
information. In other contexts, it could transform the ATM so it
becomes vandal-proof. It could be used for a door entry system,
projecting the keys on to a wall, and switching off when no-one's
around.' No more gunged-up ATM surfaces has to be a cultural advance.
He also sees a huge advantage in contexts like check-in desks for
airports, removing that swathe of PCs with their trailing
cables. `The great thing about VKB is that if you don't want it, it's
not there. We are used to computers being these bits on desks, so if
they go virtual you can use the desk for something else. Remember how
it felt when computers became LCDs,' he enthuses.
It is the transport application of VKB that particularly excites
Priestman: `I can immediately see advantages, as dozens of laptops on
board seems a waste of weight' – and VKB can be produced on demand,
leaving your seat area less encumbered. He's been working on
designing `everything' for airline environments for some years now,
and Priestman Goode has just unveiled an extensive design programme
for Lufthansa's new intercontinental Airbus A340-600 fleet, based on
the `holistic passenger experience, rather than a series of finite
objects', he explains. The in-flight entertainment system combines
both its control interfaces and the seat into one handset: `The
friendly, approachable appearance of the handset counters the complex
functionality of the interface.' The ideal for VKB is `to put the
screen into the back of an airline or train seat, or design cafe
tables with the screen built into it', he adds – pointing out that
you have power on many trains, and internet access on a number of
airlines, `so screens are becoming much more personalised'.
If until recently design was predominantly about styling, he asserts,
now it's about the user interface and fundamental thinking. The
problem with the industry is that design thinking is often driven by
existing examples. But it's vital to question everything and
establish new and original principles. While many designers now spend
all their time working out how to handle fast-changing digital
technologies and turn them into experiences that delight people,
Priestman has taken a wider route, from the smallest of hand-held
design products to multimillion-pound transport projects, finding –
like the equally versatile product design consultancy TKO – early
success in Japan, due to country's famous commitment to test
marketing new designs for technology before the economic bubble burst
in the late Eighties. Products are now truly global, he says, because
the classic production scenario has decentralised. The parts of a
digital camera are likely to include a US-made lens and a chip set
invented and designed in Scotland; these are then assembled in China,
with further parts sent from Japan.
The designers' work focuses on that critical, manipulable area
between hardware and software: `So many of the things that we design
now are related to things which are on screen. With the mobile phone
for instance, totally. Since the advent of wireless technology, the
product has gone. Even if it is designed, it's going to be part of
your clothing. It's going to be designed by a fashion designer. That
traditional part of product design is dead. So we've moved on, and
have begun to explore what's possible with user interfaces,' says
Priestman.
Ultimately, however, Priestman is a product rather than a software
designer, and did not actually develop the nifty technology he has
given such a photogenic identity to. The laser keyboard had already
been devised by VKB Inc, a Delaware-based software company
established in 2000, with research and development facilities in
Jerusalem. The company develops innovative virtual interfaces that
can be used with mobile phones, PDAs, PCs/notebooks, information
appliances and consumer electronic products.
`Now mobile phones or PDAs can, at last, have a full-sized keyboard,'
explains Jonathan Curtiss, president of VKB Inc. `Users will be able
to type in e-mails or long texts easily and effectively wherever they
happen to be, allowing them to easily exploit the entire
functionality of PDAs and Smartphones.'
`VKB could be branded with other products,' says Priestman, who has
total control over all aspects of the design and packaging of the
keyboard device. He envisages it having a wide range of applications,
pointing out its advantages in industrial, sterile and medical
environments, as well as on air, rail and automotive transport. The
device will be manufactured by i.Tech Dynamic, part of Hutchison
Harbour Ring; in turn part of Hutchison Whampoa, one of the largest
companies in the world, with four manufacturing facilities in China,
and more than 25,000 staff. It is an important player in the global
electronic, mobile phone and toy markets. This enormous enterprise is
putting great emphasis on i.Tech Dynamic, and on volume manufacturing.
The new high-performance interface, says Curtiss, `will soon be
embedded in a wide array of communications, computing and
entertainment devices – including cell phones, PDAs, ultra-light
notebook computers, gaming consoles, interactive television-set top
boxes, digital-media gateways and many touch-screen applications'.
Hutchison is asking Priestman Goode to look ahead in many areas.
Inexorable changes in how technology can be used sound the death
knell for products such as video recorders and cameras, beaten out by
mobile phone companies, and Priestman's work across continents
divides into either helping an emerging brand, or helping an older
brand to fight off the competition. He calls his strategic activities
for clients faced with these kinds of challenges `future
proofing': `We try to imagine all the possible scenarios and try to
beat the process; what combination of technology, design and product
identity would make a product a leader?'
Supported by the vast manufacturing and distribution prowess of his
Chinese clients, the designer is naturally thinking laterally about
how a synthesis of the virtual keyboard technology, one new interface
that will clearly enhance and enable communications, computing and
entertainment experiences, and his design input, can be evolved. It
seems vital that creative thinkers like Priestman tackle the
potential unleashed by this technology.
I.Tech is keen to proliferate virtual keyboards, but it is not the
first to release one. At CeBIT this year, Siemens and Samsung both
presented them: Siemens' SX1 version as part of a mobile phone,
Samsung's as a rather inelegant box, like the VKB, connected to a
mobile phone through a cable. Built into a mobile phone, the laser
components add to its size, but offer a better alternative to strap-
on keyboards on the market. One drawback is that you have to place
the SX1 on a flat and stable surface to use the virtual keyboard –
which is not the most mobile of solutions. `Peripherals are often not
of the greatest design quality,' Priestman comments.
The VKB, on the other hand, represents quite a drastic falling away
of form in product design, with objections that users will still
frequently need a personal screen, not one built into the back of the
seat in front – even if the bottom half of the laptop crabshell was
dematerialised from the equation. One CeBIT visitor also felt a
virtual keyboard might cramp his style as a touch typist: `For people
used to the touch method, they'll miss the feeling of where the keys
are placed, and will have to look at the keyboard and check if what's
written is correct.' The prospect of the convergence of touch and one-
finger typing skills in the face of a new way of inputting data
doesn't phase Priestman. He's adamant that just as `people don't look
at the product, but at what it does', they'll adjust to do things
differently, motivated by the scope of a new configuration of hard
and software. `In some respects, we work quite naively, perhaps, on
things like this which really do push the boundaries, but if the idea
is seen as a real possibility, we will adapt.'
He smiles at the thought that we could soon witness the last of the
qwerty keyboard: `Everyone will be speaking to things through voice
recognition,' he says. In the meantime, the prospect of at least one
retailer projecting the keyboard through their shop window, the
glowing red qwerty emblazoned on to the pavement, is a powerful
cipher of meaning that we aren't going to lose just yet
VKB is distributed by Avenir Telecom and will be available on the
high street from July, price £130.

Now we've June !
Ciao
IMHO the price is now being supported by longs, in other words, investors, which is good news because it means that there are a lot of people who want this product to succeed & the PPS never went up thru a pump.
This should eventually happen...Only if this Ken handeled the PRs in a more professional manner, hey then again, we can not have it all.
I as Long, tried to sell near 0.0095...but never went thru...that was actually good....I bought in another 10k at 0.0091...
I am in since 0.0035....still holding my 208.5k shares (with the 10k addition)....not very much but when it hits a dollar....which I am expecting one day before an R/S....I guess today was worthwhile.
Product still has a lot of potential....recommend just hold on to your shares & no panic sell...IBZT should come thru....hey have too much at stake at this point....already orders pending to deliver.....

Always do your DD before Investing or Daytrading
From the article:
"The laser keyboard had already
been devised by VKB Inc, a Delaware-based software company
established in 2000, with research and development facilities in
Jerusalem."
Enterprise is located in Isreal. Coincedence? Who knows.
Do you've seen the so called "sell off" ? ...only about 250.000.000 shares traded on this day ... thats nothing compared with the run up volume before !
Already some minutes after the opening on this day the volume comes down very strong....and every day after the "sell off" day we've had a very low volume ... so it seem's most of the ppl are still long ...and someones use the buy opportunity at these extremly low share prices !
The next PR will bring the finally decision ....down 50% or up 1000% ....if the next PR is a good one IBZT could be a 10-bagger !
Ciao

I reviewed the unit fairly on my web site, but don't have a use for it myself as I have a laptop and T-Mobile sidekick.
I am thinking about auctioning my test unit on eBay. Now that they are so impossible to get, perhaps I can get a good $ for it?
The next PR is the will bring the finally decision ....
Damn, couldn't have said it better myself- unless I was strung out on a crack binge over three days with no sleep
I kindof want to buy some more just for the hell of it but im not sure if its worth it.

I thought it was an ingenius move for KS to "bundle" the VKB with $300,000 worth of OTHER Ibiz products in the Circuit City order.
Basically like saying "If you want my keyboard, you have to buy all my other stuff too"!!
How could this guy screw up such a goldmine? Yes - he and Perkins have pocketed millions on the sale of stock - or WHATEVER they're doing - but since he's hung in there for 25 years, you'd think Ken would have SOME pride and want to see maga-millions and fame seeing this through????
Circuit City could just tell him to buzz off.
Good luck to us all - we'll see sooner or later,
Steve
I agree 100% There has to be an attachment after 25 years & some pride. Ken has got to want this company to be a winner. I just hope he settles for nothing less than that.

I wrote VKB yesterday and received this e-mail response this morning.
My QUESTIONS:
These questions are regarding the VKB.
1. Who has the rights to sell VKB in the USA?
2. When and how will VKB get FCC certifications?
3. Can HHR sell VKBs in the US?
4. Can HHR currently sell VKBs in the UK - without certification?
5. If IBiz were to change manufacturers for the VKB, will they lose
their exclusive rights to distribute in the US and Asia?
Their RESPONSE:
Thanks for your mail.
VKB is a technology company. We have licensed our
technologies/designs/IP to companies around the world for multiple
uses and applications.
VKB has no direct business relationship with iBiz, and iBiz DOES NOT
hold any rights from VKB. iBiz is a client of one of our licensees ONLY.
Hutchison Harbour Ring (HHR), a $60 billion company, is our
manufacturer for the virtual laser keyboard, HHR has worldwide rights,
and HHR teams are currently promoting the accessories line to;
retailers, wholesalers, system integrators, and large corporations
worldwide, including in the USA.
We are expecting major retailers in the USA to begin promotion within
a few weeks.
The virtual laser keyboard uses a "class 1" red laser, safe for human
use, and does not require any certifications. The device itself
requires a conformity relating to battery power.
I am hopeful to have answered your questions. Should you need further
information about VKB Inc. please introduce yourself. If you require
information about iBiz or HHR, feel free to contact these companies
directly.

When I first read this, I felt terrible. This did not sound good but
then I thought "What if distribution in the US they were referring to
was via Ibiz?". That might be exactly what is going on here. It just
seems odd to me that this VKB market was so quiet but in the space of
a week, iBiz PR their EC problems and the VKB is released in UK and
Asia by organizations that were never even on my radar for
distribution. I suspect Ken and co., realizing ago that EC was not
going to do the trick, went to VKB, found out who was doing it right
and went straight to them
If it wouldn't have been for the release of the European/Asian
products, I suspect we may not have seen a PR of this nature. We would
have seen one where they detailed the problems and their solution but
since the world was going to start buying VKBs, they needed to say
something right away.
Anyways, my interpretation of this. It also might be BS but I don't
think it is
[This message has been edited by raymax04 (edited June 21, 2004).]
I emailed Mario Neves, the Senior Vice President of VKB Inc. and I asked him to confirm an email exchange I saw on the RB message board and this board. Below you will find my email and his response.
My email to Mario:
Mario Neves,
I saw the following on a stock message board and was wondering if this is true? I would especially like to know if the virtual keyboard will be available in the USA in the upcoming weeks?
"From VKB, Inc.:
Hutchison Harbour Ring (HHR), a $60 billion company, is our manufacturer for the virtual laser keyboard, HHR has worldwide rights, and HHR teams are currently promoting the accessories line to; retailers, wholesalers, system integrators, and large corporations worldwide, including in the USA.
Finally, we are expecting major retailers in the USA to begin promotion within a few weeks."
Mario's reply by email:
Yes, is the answer to both questions.

Could it be "Hutchinson Harbour Ring" is the new manufacturer in asia ?

IBIZ TECHNOLOGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS - iBIZ Technology Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "Ibiz" or the "Company") was organized on April 6, 1994, under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company operates as a holding company for subsidiary acquisitions.
iBIZ, Inc. designs, manufactures (through subcontractors), and distributes a line of accessories for the PDA and handheld computer market which are distributed through large retail chain stores and e-commerce sites.
Synosphere, LLC is a Plano, Texas based corporation specializing in the development of innovative handheld computer technologies. On April 1, 2004, Synosphere, LLC was dissolved and merged into Synosphere, Inc.

Qhost, Inc. is an inactive entity.
PRESENTATION - The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended April 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2004. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in the October 31, 2003 Annual Report and particularly to Note 1 which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iBIZ Technology Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries - iBIZ, Inc., Invnsys Technology Corporation, Qhost, Inc. and Synosphere, LLC.

F-9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
CASH PLEDGED FOR LETTER OF CREDIT - The Company has pledged $10,000 of its cash to secure a letter of credit for a customer to guarantee payment of rebates. The letter of credit expires in June 2004.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable are reported at the customers' outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for returned merchandise. The Company's terms for repayment range from 30 days to 60 days. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR RETURNED MERCHANDISE - The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable and provision for returned merchandise is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired (bankruptcy, lack of contact, age of account balance, etc.). A provision for returned merchandise is also recorded based on the Company's history of returns as a percentage of sales.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally by average cost) or market. The inventories are comprised of finished products at April 30, 2004.
PREPAID EXPENSE - The Company's prepaid expenses are being amortized over a one-year period. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Company issued 89 million shares of common stock valued at $416,360 for consulting services to be performed in 2004. The agreements consist of retail-channel marketing services and corporate finance services designed to assist the Company in analyzing potential acquisition targets and the related financing of such acquisitions. The agreements are being amortized straight-line over their respective one-year terms.
F-10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
The Companies depreciate their property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following useful lives of the assets:
Tooling 3 Years
Machinery and equipment 10 Years
Office furniture and equipment 5-10 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Molds 5 Years
LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending on the nature of the assets.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES - The Company has issued convertible debt securities with non-detachable conversion features. The Company accounts for such securities in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 98-5. The Company has recorded the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as interest expense and an increase to Additional Paid-in Capital.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONSULTING FEES PAID BY STOCK OPTIONS - The Company has issued stock options which entitle the grantee to exercise the options at fair market value less an agreed upon discount. The Company has recorded the fair market value as "consulting fees paid by stock options" and an increase to additional paid-in capital (see Notes 13 and 15).
F-11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGY AND PATENTS - Technology and patents represents the fair market value of the common stock issued to acquire Synosphere, LLC (see Note 6). The Company will amortize the assets over their estimated useful life as follows: Patents, 20 year amortization using the straight-line method; Blue Dock Technology and other technologies, 3 years amortization using the straight-line method. Estimated amortization is as follows:
Fiscal Year
2004 $ 295,596
2005 394,127
2006 394,127
2007 100,407
2008 2,500
Thereafter 38,125
----------
Total $1,224,882
==========
DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at April 30, 2004, as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
COMMON STOCK ISSUED FOR NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS - It is the Company's policy to value stock issued for non-cash transactions at the stock closing price at the date the transaction is finalized or the value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.
AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION - The Articles of Incorporation were amended in November 2002 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 450,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 and authorized the creation of 50,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock.
F-12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", (SAB 101). Revenues are recorded under two categories:
Product Sales - When the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. The Company provides a reserve for sales returns based on its history of returns as a percentage to sales.
The Company will periodically provide rebates on selected products for a limited sale period, normally 7 days. They contract with a company to process and track the rebates. The Company provides a reserve for outstanding rebates based on its history of rebates submitted as a percentage of applicable sales.
Maintenance Agreements - Income from maintenance agreements is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the service contracts, which range from 3 months to 1 year. The unearned portion received is recorded as deferred income. The Company is not actively pursuing this area of business and does not expect this to be significant in subsequent periods.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS - The Company's policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.
ADVERTISING - All direct advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company charged to operations $50,991 and $18,577 in advertising costs for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. The Company incurred $71,044 and $0 of such expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
F-13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCOME TAXES - Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
NET (LOSS) PER SHARE - The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net loss per share are excluded.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Industry - The Company's products are intended for the computer and technology-related industry. This industry experiences a high degree of obsolescence and changes in buying patterns. The Company must expend funds for research and development and identification of new products in order to stay competitive.
Financial Instruments - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are normally limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. Recently, the Company has focused its sales efforts to large retailers which can increase the credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. The Company normally does not require a deposit to support large customer orders.
F-14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At April 30, 2004, two customers accounted for 67% and 27% of net receivables, respectively.
Purchases - The Company relies primarily on three suppliers for its products (Enterprise Capital AG, Poto Technology and Prolink). The loss of a supplier could have a material impact on the Company's operations. Purchases from these suppliers for the six months ended April 30, 2004 totaled 58%, 29% and 10% of gross purchases.
Revenues - For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Company had one customer whose sales were 90% of total revenues.
PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT - In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer of debt classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify certain financial instruments as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) instead of equity. The Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted this Statement on July 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that this recent accounting pronouncement will have a material impact on their financial position or results of operations.

No amounts have been accrued for any penalties which may be assessed by the State of Arizona for non-compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to workers' compensation insurance.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified eight accounting principles that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective judgments.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are reported at the customer's outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for returned merchandise. Our terms for repayment range from 30 days to 60 days. We do not normally require collateral to support receivables and interest is not accrued thereon.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR RETURNED MERCHANDISE
The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivables and provision for returned merchandise is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. We determine the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired (bankruptcy, lack of contact, age of account balance, etc.). We also provide a provision for returned merchandise based on our history of returns as a percentage of sales.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally by average cost) or market.
1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGY AND PATENTS
We have capitalized the fair market value of stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Synosphere, LLC. We will amortize the assets over the estimated useful life once the patents are approved and the products are developed and ready for market.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES
We have issued convertible debt securities with non-detachable conversion features. We have recorded the fair value of the beneficial conversion features as interest expense and an increase to Additional Paid-in Capital.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONSULTING FEES PAID BY STOCK OPTIONS
We have issued stock options which entitle the grantee to exercise the options at fair market value less an agreed upon discount. We have recorded the fair market value as "consulting fees paid by stock options" and an increase to additional paid-in capital.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", (SAB 101). Our revenues are recorded under two categories:
Product Sales - Product Sales represent primarily sales of PDA accessories to retailers. Revenue is recorded when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. We provide a reserve for sales returns based on our history of returns as a percentage to sales.
We will periodically provide rebates on selected products for a limited sale period, normally 7 days. We contract with a company to process and track the rebates. We provide a reserve for outstanding rebates based on our history of rebates submitted as a percentage of applicable sales.
2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintenance Agreements - We continue to sell service agreements to maintain and service computers and printers that were a part of our product line several years ago. We no longer sell such products but continue to offer renewals of maintenance agreements. Income from maintenance agreements is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the service contracts, which range from 3 months to 1 year. The unearned portion is recorded as deferred income.
CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
We issued common stock and options for payment of consulting services. The cost of the consulting services paid with common stock was determined by multiplying the common shares issued by the market price, for the shares at the inception date of the agreement. The cost of the consulting services paid with options was valued using the Black-Sholes stock option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield - -0-, expected volatility - 44%, risk-free interest rate - 2.25%, expected life - 75 days to 10 years. The total fair value of the options granted during the six months ending April 30, 2004 was $6,386,187. Based on the uncertainty of any future value of these agreements, the Company expensed the value of the options in the six months ended April 30, 2004. A summary of the common stock and options issued is as follows:

Based on the nature of the equipment being serviced and the applicable age thereof, parts and accessories can fluctuate significantly each period.
Our products experience a high degree of technological obsolescence based on the rapidly changing market for PDA-related products and the introduction of new PDAs. We evaluate our inventories based on sales over a rolling six-month period and industry publications of PDA-related product changes in order to determine the write-off of slow-moving and obsolete inventories. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, we did not write-off additional inventories and sold approximately $3,000 of inventory previously written-off.
Research and development expense is directly related to our acquisition of Synosphere, LLC and the continuing efforts to develop products such as the Blue Dock (TM) PDA docking station, the PDA travel keyboard, the Visual Notification Device and the Keyboard/Mouse Cradle. See Note 6 of the financial statements for further description of these products.

Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased 53% to $39,381 in the three months ended April 30, 2004 from $81,780 in the three months ended April 30, 2003. The decrease is a result of convertible debenture debt instruments being paid in full and no longer accruing interest.
Beneficial Interest Expense - We record the excess of the fair value of the stock price at the date of issuance of convertible debentures over the conversion price on the same date as interest expense-beneficial conversion feature. The amount decreased to $0 in 2004 from $147,141 in 2003 due to no debentures being issued in the three months ending April 30, 2004.

Our products experience a high degree of technological obsolescence based on the rapidly changing market for PDA-related products and the introduction of new PDAs. We evaluate our inventories based on sales over a rolling six-month period and industry publications of PDA-related product changes in order to determine the write-off of slow-moving and obsolete inventories. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, we did not write-off additional inventories and sold approximately $12,000 of inventory previously written-off.
Research and development expense is directly related to our acquisition of Synosphere, LLC and the continuing efforts to develop products such as the Blue Dock (TM) PDA docking station, the PDA travel keyboard, the Visual Notification Device and the Keyboard/Mouse Cradle. See Note 6 of the financial statements for further description of these products.

(1) Salaries and wages decreased $56,667 or 23% in the six months ended April 30, 2004 as a result of reducing employee base in the first three months of the 2004 year as compared to the first three months of the 2003 year offset by the hiring of new employees in the second three months of the 2004 year to manage the increased sales activity and the employment agreements signed with the two officers of Synosphere, LLC.
(2) Bonuses increased $165,975 or 79% in the six months ended April 30, 2004 due to the signing bonuses and quarterly bonuses called for in the employment agreements with the two officers of Synosphere, LLC.
(3) Accounting, legal and professional fees increased in the six months ended April 30, 2004 ($502,795) as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2003 ($294,655) due to increased activity with our SEC filings. We do not anticipate this trend to continue.
(4) Advertising, travel and commissions increased as we actively market our new products and continue to look for new sales channels and representatives.
(5) Other selling, general and administrative expenses includes $98,532 during the six-months related to amortization of the patents and technology of Synosphere.
Consulting Fees - We granted options for services to consultants during the six months ended April 30, 2004. We valued the options using the Black-Scholes formula. See discussion of Stock Options above.
Cancellation of Principal and Interest - The Company recorded other income of $197,017 related to the cancellation of principal and interest on convertible debentures that were renegotiated and converted during the period.
Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased 14% to $141,661 in the six months ended April 30, 2004 from $165,513 in the six months ended April 30, 2003. The decrease is a result of convertible debenture debt instruments being paid in full and no longer accruing interest.
14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beneficial Interest Expense - We record the excess of the fair value of the stock price at the date of issuance of convertible debentures over the conversion price on the same date as interest expense-beneficial conversion feature. The amount decreased to $0 in 2004 from $985,139 in 2003 due to no debentures being issued in the six months ending April 30, 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of April 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $32,542,273 and a working capital deficit of $1,803,104 as compared to a working capital deficit of $5,197,825 at April 30, 2003. The decrease in the deficit is primarily due to approximately $1.4 million in convertible debentures converted into common stock in 2003. We have $1,413,675 of debt payments related to convertible debentures that was due October 31, 2003. Based on discussions with the holders, the balance of these debentures is expected to be converted into common stock in the third quarter. Based on the current stock price, the conversion would result in the issuance of approximately 47 million shares of common stock, or 1.7% of our outstanding shares at April 2004.
Cash Flows from Operations - Our cash flow from operations used $1,602,768 in 2004 compared to $467,890 in 2003. Our net loss after adjusting for non-cash items decreased from $744,000 in 2003 to $646,000 in 2004. Our increase of accounts receivable in 2004 is due to increased sales in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2004. Cash used was primarily due to our ability to purchase inventory, pay overdue accounts payable and accrued wages and expenses based on our proceeds ($1,790,000) from exercise of stock options in this quarter. This accounted for a use of cash amounting to $681,000 in 2004 versus an increase in cash in 2003 amounting to $275,000 due to our poor cash position in 2003 and reduced sales. Based on the initial reception of our new product, the "Virtual Keyboard" (set to be delivered to retailers in third quarter 2004) and the continued success of our Pocket Radio product, we are confident that our cash flows will be positive in 2004. We currently have a backlog of orders totaling $650,000. As with other technology-related products, our success depends on acceptance of our products in the market and introduction of new products. If our products do not continue to receive acceptance in the market, our cash flows can quickly turn negative.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities - Cash used for investing activities was $21,296 in 2004 due to cash payments to members of Synosphere, LLC per the acquisition agreement. We had no investing activities in 2003.
15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Flows from Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing activities consisted of $1,790,000 net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and repayments of $59,397 of the loan from a foreign company (Enterprise Capital AG). We may need to raise additional capital through the issuance of common stock options and/or debt, which will be used to expand our infrastructure and acquire additional product lines and complimentary businesses.
In January 2004 we entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of Synosphere LLC for 30 million shares of common stock valued at $1.2 million. We currently have no other material commitments for capital expenditures other than the completion of the Synosphere products which is currently estimated at $2.4 million over the next 12 months.
Backlog - The Company has received orders for the Virtual Keyboards from national retailers. The Company paid Enterprise Capital AG $400,000 for the keyboards necessary to fulfill these orders. Since January 2004, there have been recurring production delays. Additional inventory which was to flow as a rate that would include fulfilling outstanding orders by the end of June, have not yet been delivered, nor do we have any indication from Enterprise Capital AG when the Virtual Keyboards will be shipped at this time.
Enterprise Capital AG's inability to meet agreed upon delivery schedules, even after prepayment of goods, has forced the Company to pursue other venues in an effort to safeguard their existing orders as well as fulfill future orders for the Virtual Keyboard.
The Company has made tremendous advances providing product awareness to the Virtual Keyboard technology. As a result of the overwhelming success the Company has experienced in this regard, it is the Company's intent to build a redundant supply chain that will support their ongoing efforts.
Spin-off - On October 20, 3003, the Board of Directors approved the spin-off of iBIZ, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, into a separate public company.
The Company proposes to issue without consideration non-restricted shares of common stock in iBIZ, Inc. pro rata to all shareholders of the Company as of September 25, 2003 at the ratio of one share of iBIZ, Inc. for each 500 shares of the Company common stock.
The purpose of the spin-off of iBIZ, Inc. is that it will allow management of each business to focus solely on that business. In addition, it should enhance access to financing by allowing the financial community to focus separately on each business.
16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iBIZ Technology Corp. will continue to distribute its product line in North and South America providing sub-licenses for all products to iBIZ, Inc. for worldwide distribution with the exception of North and South America. iBIZ, Inc. and iBIZ Technology Corp. are in the process of negotiating the terms of the license agreements. It is currently planned that iBIZ, Inc. will support iBIZ Technology Corp. in engineering, production, and business development, through synergetic agreements (to be negotiated) using Enterprise Capital and its affiliates infrastructure in Europe and Israel.
Current funds available to iBIZ will not be adequate for it to be competitive in the areas in which it intends to operate. iBIZ's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, therefore will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing. iBIZ estimates that it will need to raise up to approximately $1,000,000 over the next 12 months for these purposes.
There is no guarantee that these funding sources, or any others, will be available in the future, or that they will be available on favorable terms. In addition, this funding amount may not be adequate for iBIZ to fully implement its business plan. Thus, the ability of iBIZ to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of iBIZ's business plan. Regardless of whether iBIZ's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet iBIZ's operational needs, iBIZ might seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, iBIZ may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a negative impact on the business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, if additional shares were issued to obtain financing, current shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership in iBIZ.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer, or CEO, and chief financial officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure procedures.

SOUNDS GREAT!
The value with this company is within the bluedock and synosphere.
Their are a total of 7 patents for lightkey technology.
The first one technology owns the technology.
And according to many people thats a company called Virtual Devices Incorpated.
People are wondering whether ibiz is making a bid for them so they can have sole ownership of the technology.
Somebody in my group called Peter, the vice president at VDI and says that they would take legal action agaist vkb inc if they tried to bring it to market in the USA.
Even if the vkb does not even exist this company will be very well off in my opinion simply because Synosphere is an incredible company ran by very talented individuals!
And the blue dock will be out this year, without help from an outside manufacture.

iBIZ Technology Corp. Files Suit in Tel Aviv, Israel

PHOENIX, Jun 22, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
iBIZ Technology Corp.

iBIZ's claims in the law suit include one against Enterprise Capital AG Israel for breach of contract and claims against all of the defendants for fraud/misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and business torts (unfair competition).
Since January the defendants have caused recurring delays in production; these delays were coupled with the defendants' demand for prepayment of goods. After several demand notices issued by iBIZ for information and assurances were not responded to, iBIZ was forced to take legal action in the Magistrates Court of Tel-Aviv - Jaffa, and a suit was filed today. iBIZ is represented by, Adv. Eric Sherby, 3 Abba Hillel Silver Street, Ramat Gan, Israel. A copy of the statement of claim (complaint) will be available on our web site June 23, 2004.

PHOENIX, Jun 22, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --iBIZ Technology Corp.

iBIZ's claims in the law suit include one against Enterprise Capital AG Israel for breach of contract and claims against all of the defendants for fraud/misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and business torts (unfair competition).
Since January the defendants have caused recurring delays in production; these delays were coupled with the defendants' demand for prepayment of goods. After several demand notices issued by iBIZ for information and assurances were not responded to, iBIZ was forced to take legal action in the Magistrates Court of Tel-Aviv - Jaffa, and a suit was filed today. iBIZ is represented by, Adv. Eric Sherby, 3 Abba Hillel Silver Street, Ramat Gan, Israel. A copy of the statement of claim (complaint) will be available on our web site June 23, 2004.

Well, typically the market reacts favorably to litigation being brought in circumstances such as this. Personally, I'm glad to see they have finally shown some spine and stopped playing games. On the other hand, it's a bit depressing, since I was still hoping that Enterprise would come through and IBIZ would suddenly be announcing that certification has been received and all is well... orders being filled. I think today's news does confirm dire news as far as the keyboard goes... don't count on that revenue anytime soon. Being the first to bring it to market in the USA has gone from a near certainty to fairly stiff odds against. It would still be great to have it shipped in late fall (possibly coming from China), but the advantage of having first (sole) ownership of the VKB market right now is that large retailers are going to be placing orders for Christmas inventory NOW... during the summer. Having a viable product hitting the shelves right now makes it kind of easy to fantasize about a news announcement that Wal*Mart was placing an order for a few..... hundred thousand. OK, back to reality. The suit may do nothing more than recover money already fronted to Enterprise, but then again, there could be a nice chunk of additional cash depending on what charges are filed. This has absolutely cost IBIZ monetarily, far beyond the cash they put up, and they will likely go after Enterprise from that perspective. Naturally, the suit will easily drag on into next year, as the defendants won't simply cross their fingers and hope all comes out well for them. They will hold the cash and delay, delay, delay for as long as possible. That's just business. What IBIZ needs to follow up this news with is an announcement that a new manufacturer has been contracted with and that keyboards are projected to be out this fall. That may take them back to the .03-.035 area just on speculation and renewed interest. I wonder how feasible it is for them to again front the cash to yet another company while they wait to get something back from Enterprise. Just please please please don't let me hear that they are going to churn out another billion shares of stock to pay for it all!!

IBZT has made arrangements to source the manufacturing of the virtual keyboard to another company to supply the product. It is a large, reputable firm that will supply a finished, deliverable product, along with all necessary certifications. IBZT can not yet disclose who the source is or the timeline. When appropriate, IBZT will be issuing a press release announcing the firm and the timeline.
Of course my reply to this was to have him answer my original PHOCKING question and I'll post the result if I ever get one. Seems funny to me that they seem to dodge this question and it's been almost a month since the PR about delisting. Others have been delisted in a week, so what's up with the guys at IBZT. Also noticed that the SEC is conducting an informal inquiry. MHO is that management is completely incompetent.
I'd like to beleive that this company could do something but right now I wouldn't trust them to tie my shoes for me.
Sorry to be so negative to all those who have high hopes for this. MHO is that you'll have to wait until this time next year before you break even. If they can't get through the VKB they'll never get the bluedock out.
If this thing ever gets up around .015, I'm out. Best of luck to all holding large and long.
I'm just PISSED.

All I've got to say is IBZT has been a HUGE disappointment to me, the virtual keyboard has so much potential, and the recent events have turned this whole thing into a huge debacle! No VKB just a bunch of mucking around and a$$ covering! First a vendor bashing pr, then a lawsuit, now the SEC steps in.
Did any of you notice the PPS declined more than usual the day of the vendor bashing announcement that came out after the close? We were all expecting an announcement the VKB was finally shipped to customers at that time, the PPS should have been going up in anticipation of this. Perhaps the information leaked and there were a lot of sales and the SEC suspects insider trading? Did releasing the pr after the close give those who were "informed" time to sell? If this is so, I hope they all get burned, they did all of us shareholders a disservice with their poor vendor management, prs which were totally misleading and meant to fool the investor into thinking the VKBs were ready to ship, and now the possibly of insider trading. If the SEC is inquiring, they suspect foul play, they wouldn't be involved otherwise. Normally I hate bashers but with IBZT I've sort of become one but look at the facts, its hard not to bash!

No! He already owns a boatload. However I choose to believe Ken was in such a hurry to be successful he did not make sure the manufacturer had what it takes to deliver. Even with his trip to Isreal. He either allowed himself to expect more than this company could deliver or outright lied to us. Might not make a lot of difference to most but I genuinely hope he did not lie to us.
This is the first itme I've been unwilling to buy for quite some time.

We're losing a LOT of money here, and as pizzed off as I am with KS's LIES and PHONY PRs, it kills me that he'd let all the FREE TV, magazine and newspaper press go to waste. Normal businesses couldn't afford to BUY all that wonderful FREE Press this guy was GIVEN. If this was just a P&D for him and his cronies, then a hope they get hung. He was in trouble with the SEC BEFORE for phony PRs to pump up the price, but only fined $20,000. To these SOBs that's a 'cost of doing business'. The slime would probably try to write it off as such too! I should have known that a leopard usually doesn't change his spots. I'm still hoping for the best here as my family members and friends have lots of money here too.
Good Luck everybody,
Steve
PS: I think this lawsuit stuff is also just another ploy for them to get away with plain old STEALING. They're just trying to blame the other guy. As long as it's in court - I don't think (I'm not a lawyer) KS and MP can be charged criminally. We'll see.

Law suit doesnt mean a thing in other country... In US, it's important and shiit but bringing it to another country with a law suit, it's like talking to a wall...
So let me know how this "law suit" going... LMAO...
Whoever bought more and more... Have fun, but you might as well give the money to charity rather than giving it to Schilling for him to go on romantic aniversary trips with his wife...
Let's hope it can close around here!

You will notice the chart is unavailable, but you can still click on 5 day and see it.
The same happened to PCCL yesterday/today. As it did back with BIBO and some others. Keep an eye on CYOS as they are still showing a chart as of today, but requested delisting before PCCL.

iBIZ Virtual Keyboard Review
By David Ciccone, posted 4 hours ago
Reader Comments: 1
Pageviews: 456
Virtual Keyboard not Vaporware
We have been lucky to work with the folks over at iBIZ to get an exclusive of the new iBIZ Virtual Keyboard. In this review we will go over the software install process, fuctionality and ease of use. Many sites have labeled this product vaporware but as you can see we have it. The Virtual Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology and projects a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. As you type on the laser projection, it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location.
Once we received the virtual keyboard I was able to talk with a representative of iBIZ to explain the current situation. As many of you are aware of the litigation issues going on with this keyboard, I was assured that iBIZ is currently looking into a redundant supply chain so the minute we hear they are ready to ship you will know.
The virtual keyboard comes with adapters for Palm, PocketPC, USB, Serial and a power cable to charge the device. In order to load the software driver the user needs to copy the appropriate device driver onto the iPAQ and launch the cab file. Once this process is complete the user will find an icon in the program tab of the iPAQ. Once the application come up you are prompted with a considerable amount of options to select from. First the user would need to click on the “Enable VKB” to create the partnership with the device. Once this happens you will hear a notification beep that the unit has accepted the relationship. Once you enable the relationship you can then select the intensity of the laser that is appropriate for your surface.
When you click over to the properties tab you have an option for sensitivity of your fingertips. We found that setting number 6 was just right for our liking. You will also notice an auto repeat tab that we chose not to select due to the higher success rates we were able to obtain. Another great feature in the software is the ability to see how much power you have left in the device!
As you can see in this picture the unit projected beautifully and I was pleasantly surprised. It took us about an hour to get used to the typing style and also for us to get the feel of typing on a flat surface. I liked the overall clarity of the projection and also was impressed with the availability of an up,down,left,right arrow this was a nice touch and responded appropriately. The only downfall that I noticed was that iBIZ might have thought of also including a universal docking station for the iPAQ. If you look at our photo’s you will notice the iPAQ was laying down and the cable supplied was extremely short. I was able to utilize on of my own universal cradles which made the typing experience enjoyable. During this time we were also able to achieve around three and a half hours of typing time before we had to charge the Lithium Ion battery.
Overall I feel iBIZ has delivered a stellar product. The projector was extremely durable and well manufactured. We did notice though the classic two fingered hunt and peck style of typing works best with the Virtual Keyboard. Which, if you use it with your iPAQ could be heaps faster than using a tiny on screen keyboard or handwriting recognition entry. If you are a geek like I am then you will love this unit. The iBIZ Virtual Keyboard costs $99.00 and can be preordered directly though us.
Preorder your iBIZ Keyboard here!!!

I've been with you for a while. I held on thinking this would really move once they got the VKB out and by the time the bad news hit it was too late to worry about selling. If you get something going on this I'll sign up and I know of a few others that would probably sign up as well. I don't have a lot of shares so as long as someone would take it pro bono, I'm in.

Grant it that the programming appealed to limited audience, but the revenue generating model designed by Robert L. Johnson, CEO of BET was genuine. Based on figures gathered from a USA article titled "Viacom Considers Paying an Unusually High Price for BET" you can see what it was essentially a no-brainer.
With BET's expected cash revenue of $124 million for 2001 and a standing liability of $570 million, a buy out price of $3 billion dollars more than compensates Johnson for his hard work. Given that he is still tending a deal to buy landing spaces and lease equipment and crews at Reagan National Airport for the creation of DC Air, he should be more than able to pay the $140 to $215 million necessary to seal the deal.
Johnson owns 63% of BET, Liberty Media 35%, and Debra L. Lee, President of BET owns the remaining 2%. In other word, Robert L. Johnson's BET holdings are now worth $1.6 billion dollars.

In Orlando, FL, WKMG became the first television station to use
GestureStorm when it unveiled the system in December. In July 2003,
Sony Computer Entertainment released the EyeToy, a PlayStation 2
peripheral that, using special software and an inexpensive digital
camera, can project a video feed of a player into a game, even
responding to the player's movements; instead of zapping a bad guy
with a controller button, the gamer gives him a swift karate chop.
This year, two companies will debut virtual keyboards that let people
control personal digital assistants and even automotive equipment with
gestures. As far as Charles Cohen, vice president for research and
development at Cybernet, is concerned, gesture recognition's time has
come. "Gesture recognition is remote control with a wave of a hand,"
he says
The market is big for VKB.....
Ex. Video games....billion dollars industry..
Canesta is working on there version...

Virtual Keyboards and Beyond
The clouds have parted. The rain has ceased. As I finish my round of
GestureStorm theatrics, I decide to shoo away the clouds and let
Detroit return to its peace and calm once again.
Over lunch at a nearby Italian restaurant, Cybernet's Cohen suggests
that the mission of gesture recognition is not necessarily to supplant
the old keyboard and mouse but, rather, to supplement them. "I won't
say gesture recognition is the be-all and end-all," he says.
Indeed, one intriguing application illustrates the way that gesture
technology could dovetail with conventional interfaces. A device from
San Jose, CA-based Canesta—due out later this year—brings gesture
recognition to personal digital assistants. The device projects an
image of a keyboard onto a flat surface, such as a desk, through a
tiny lens inside the PDA. An infrared light beam directed at the zone
just above the projected keyboard senses precisely where the user's
fingers are at any instant: the device monitors the time it takes for
a pulse of infrared light to leave the emitter, bounce off the moving
fingertips, and return to a sensor in the PDA. A pulse's round-trip
travel time corresponds with a specific distance, providing a 3-D map
of the fingertips' position over the keys, so whatever the user types
on the virtual keyboard is captured digitally inside the PDA.
The Canesta device operates at more than 50 frames per second, so it
can keep up with even the speediest typist. Because Canesta's
technology uses infrared light to measure the distance to the object,
it could potentially alleviate one of the problems facing Sony and
Cybernet: how to perceive gestures against a bright or busy
background. With the current configuration of the EyeToy, for example,
I'd seriously mess up my daughter's game of Wishi Washi if I passed in
front of the camera's background while she's playing. If Canesta's
infrared light were trained on her, and her alone, the game wouldn't
register my interruption. Canesta considers the $11 billion video game
industry to be a future target area and says it has talked with a
number of major players in the electronic-entertainment business.
Later this year, a Jerusalem, Israel, company called VKB will
introduce a competing virtual keyboard that employs technology similar
to Canesta's.
Beyond keyboards, weather forecasting, and games, gesture recognition
technology could transform the way people interact with computers in a
variety of settings. Universities have been working on the technology
for years. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, for
example, have explored how gesture recognition may help reduce
automobile accidents. A group led by Thad Starner has created what it
calls a "gesture panel" in place of a standard dashboard control. The
driver adjusts the car's temperature or sound system volume by
maneuvering her hand over a designated area, without having to take
her eyes off the road

Ok... I'm just a little confused here. If VKB is introducing their own version of the vitrual keyboard later this year, then why would they license iBIZ to use their (VKB's) technology to get one to market before they (VKB) do?
Question number 2: The iBIZ legal claim states they had paid $400,000 for 4000 keyboards (that weren't delivered according to contractual obligations). If that is the case, then they paid $100 per keyboard. How is it that iBIZ plans to make a profit from those keyboards if all retail websites and Circuit City are going to sell them for $99 (and still be making a profit)? I'm not sure where iBIZ is making the money from with a deal like that.
Question 3: Since they were relying on Enterprise for the license to market the virtual keyboards in the USA and it turned out that Enterprise didn't actually have that license/authority, doesn't that leave iBIZ back at square one? Looks like they aren't just needing a manufacturer... they are needing to get VKB to license the technology to them, which I would think would be a "no go" if VKB is trying to get their own version out the door soon. I think iBIZ is just about even with ME in regard to this. Maybe I should just bring the virtual keyboard to market myself and get it over with. All I lack is a license from VKB, a manufacturer to build the product, all certifications for the laser, and some retailers to carry it. Other than not having any boxes ready to go, I think that puts me just about neck-and-neck with iBIZ in the race. Wish me luck!
You have to pay premium price when you first set up a manufacture line. Likely once ibiz reordered some more units the price would drop dramatically. Because your not just paying for the units but the set up of a manufacture line.

Do you have a computer,? Can you read? If yes to both go to the IBZT website and read the actual lawsuit..if you read this you will then understand the 10 or so pr`s before it are a mute point. IBZT has a better chance marketing the next generation rocket belt than the VKB. THEY ARE NOW UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE sec AND SURELY ARE GOING THROUGH A AUDIT PROCEDURE. ibzt WILL BE BRINGING NOTHING TO MARKET..ADVICE FOR WHAT ITS WORTH.....SALVAGE YOUR CASH WHILE YOU CAN! THE VKB IS COMING TO MARKET....NO ONE NEEDS IBZT TO DO IT FOR THEM ANY LONGER....PRODUCT AWARENESS IS THERE AND THE RACE IS ON.........IBZT`S HORSE DIED THE SECOND THEY SUED THE JOCKEY(ENDEVOUR)

Thanks for that reply. I had hoped that was the case, as I know a plant will have to "tool up" to get out a new line. I just wasn't sure (and I'm still not) about what kind of a deal they cut. Any thoughts on the VKB licensing question?

Nope. It's been nearly a month since they supposedly requested delisting. Seems rather fishy to me. I have looked at many of the companies that left the BE, and the longest it took after asking for delisting was 15 days. Something tells me management is somehow involved with the naked shorting occurring on the BE. Either that, or the management is just incompetent.

And oh yea, I found this PDA where they call Laser Keyboard as Holographic Keyboard... LOL! http://www.deneba.com/community/artgallery/pda.html
At a wireless tech show in Asia in June, Samsung unveiled a fist-size
box that uses a laser to project a keyboard on any flat surface. The
box has Bluetooth wireless technology that can send signals to a cell
phone placed nearby. The box senses when you touch one of the
projected keys, sending the keystroke to your phone.

Wall Street News Alert: Aggressive Investors Alert for Tuesday! July 13, 2004, Part 4
M2 Communications via COMTEX
Jul 13, 2004 4:03:55 AM
Weston, FLA., Jul 13, 2004 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Wall Street News Alert` s "stocks to watch" this morning are: American Multiplexer (OTC: AMUT), On2 Technologies Inc. (AMEX: ONT), American Fire Retardant Corp. (OTCBB: AFRT) and iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT).
Aggressive investors and traders need to be watching American Multiplexer (OTC: AMUT) this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it will deploy eFotoXpress in kiosks so that tourists may place their digital storage cards into the kiosks and send them via e-mail to anywhere in the world.
This should be super news for investors! The user does not have to print pictures at the kiosk. At the press of one single button, large images may be sent via e-mail to multiple locations. Initially the eFotoXpress kiosks will be placed at high demand tourist locations. Eventually the kiosks will become available at all locations where users come to deposit their disks for printing. There will be a small fee for each e-mail and AMC will have a revenue sharing agreement with the vendors of these kiosks. The project will commence sometime in the third quarter of this year.
Investors need to keep their eyes on this one! In the mean time a pilot plan to start introducing eFotoXpress at kiosks will begin immediately with cruise ships. These kiosks will be stationed at the ship's business centers, strategic locations and in rooms that have Internet connections.
Edward Tan, President and CEO of AMC, said: "We are very excited about this new market place for the eFotoXpress software product. It provides another opportunity to maximize our revenue streams and accordingly shareholder value."
The stock closed yesterday at about twenty cents a share.
In case you are not familiar with the company: Located in Sunnyvale, California, AMC is a major leader in developing JPEG2000 consumer products. The company continues to invest its resources in the compression technology that addresses the digital camera market and video streaming market. eFotoXpress is a software utility that uses wavelet compression technology and the new JPEG2000 standard to easily compress very large images so that they may be sent by e-mail without any loss in quality. eFotoXpress is the first product that uses the new JPEG2000 standard so that compressed images may be sent via e-mail.
Stocks showing interesting activity yesterday at the close of the regular trading day were: On2 Technologies Inc. (AMEX: ONT) up 10.9% on 1 million shares traded, American Fire Retardant Corp. (OTCBB: AFRT) down 15.3% on 124.3 million shares traded and iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT) even on 15.2 million shares traded.
Commentary: "Retailers posted June sales, giving mixed results to same store sales, with Wal-Mart only up 2.2%. Cool weather and higher gasoline prices were the culprits, according to experts, while luxury retailer`s posted larger gains," Stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert`s daily commentary continued at: http://www.***********************.

Well, if this is real, I would hate to see who does their legal! Quotes like this: "All references has to be removed..." from the middle of page 5 are just plain POOR GRAMMER!! It should read "references have to be" or "reference has to be." I would be livid if my legal team put together a document worded the way this is. Also, it's interesting to see a signature at the end with no printed name below it (a first in the legal world)... simply "Enterprise Capital AG" printed above it. I suppose that whoever came up with this stupid idea thought they would be smart not to make a scribble over a printed name, thus assuming they could avoid forgery charges. After all, I'm sure they reasoned that if the name was an actual company officer or legal representative, that would be forgery. If it wasn't... the hoax would be seen through immediately. What they didn't count on was that MANY people who work with legal documents would realize that a scribbled signature on a document of this type ALWAYS has a printed name (with title) under it. If anyone wants to dispute this, go ahead... but you're wasting your time. I was amazed that anyone would actually devote this kind of time to something so transparent, that still carries legal ramifications (although they obviously didn't think so, or assumed they wouldn't be caught).

There is no real IR info and when you click on the contact link, there is no way to contact by e-mail. HMMMM.... none of that really fits the mold for an official corporate website! It's also interesting that the iBIZ suit made the mainstream news - http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/06-22-2004/0002198255&EDATE= but I see NOTHING from any credible independent news source about THIS alleged countersuit. I don't know that I have ever come across a hoax of this magnitude, but this is as bogus as it gets. It really is fantastic that someone would go to this length to perpetrate such a fraud on a company. Should be VERY interesting to watch how this plays out over the next week or two... as iBIZ finds out about it. I wouldn't doubt they will have a press release to address it. Glad I'm buying more IBZT at these prices!

Dear Valued Customer:
As you have seen over the past months through Press Releases from
iBIZ Technology Corp., we have had several issues with the
manufacturing group for this product. This has concluded into the
pending lawsuit against Enterprise Capital, which has been filed and
is viewable on our web site. We have worked with several other
potential and current manufactures to bring this specific technology
to market, but have not been able to reach a definitive agreement,
however, after careful due diligence regarding intellectual property
rights and pricing issues we have decided to take a different path
to bring a virtual keyboard to market under the iBIZ brand name.
IBIZ Technology, Corp. has entered into an worldwide exclusive
agreement with another technology company, which will be made public
in the coming days via an 8K filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We believe this technology will have significant
improvements in functionality and design, as well as meet our
previous price and performance guidelines as specified by our retail
focus groups
Our customers whom have placed pre-orders have not been charged and
will not be charged until the product is ready to ship. As a
customer for the virtual keyboard we welcome your continued patience
and will honor your current order as stands through July 21, 2004
should you decide to keep your order in place. We plan to work with
our retail partners on a case-by-case basis in this regard.
If you so choose to cancel your order for the virtual keyboard
please follow the instructions below:
q Please email to shipping@i... the following information o
IBIZ order number ibizpda-XXXX o Place in the subject line or the
body of the email "Cancel VKB" o Please note if you have other items
on the order they will ship unless you ask for these to be canceled
as well.
We again apologize for not being able to bring the virtual keyboard
in its current form to market. We will keep you informed via the
iBIZ Technology website.
Sincerely,
Ken Schilling
President and CEO
IBIZ Technology Corp.

I'm out a bit on this one too but I still have faith in the product. We can only hope they are able to pull off this new plan which should help them still be first to market. I don't consider your post as bashing. I have the same concerns. I'm not paid to pump it either but I own it and want to see it fly. I still believe it has great potential for early holders. It will only go up IMHO.

Sounds like we have found a better one. I wonder what the intellectual property rights issues were, and I wonder if they are taking the idea and making just enough modifications to pass it as a new product.
If it is truly a better product, probably hooks to more pda's than the old one which was limited, it should receive a good market share.
I'm still in.
Good Luck all!
Dear Customer:
Thank you for writing to Circuit City.
I understand that you wish to purchase the IBIZ Xela keyboard from Circuit City.
I have checked and found that circuitcity.com does not carry this
keyboard anymore. I have also checked and found that this keyboard is available on some other web sites and that means it is not out of production. However, I suggest you contact your nearest Circuit City
store and speak to one of our Sales Associates. They will be in a better position to inform you about the availability of the IBIZ Xela keyboard.

Virtual Devices Inc. and iBIZ Technology Corp. Sign Worldwide License and Distribution Agreement
via COMTEX
July 22, 2004
PITTSBURGH, Jul 22, 2004 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

"iBIZ is well-known for its innovative and practical mobile computing accessories. Adding our products to the iBIZ lineup makes perfect sense," added Steve Montellese, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical Officer of VDI. "We look forward to combining the strengths of these two strong and customer-focused companies."
Ken Schilling, President and CEO of iBIZ, commented, "After careful due diligence we have concluded VDI adds significant value to our company through VDI's portfolio of innovative and forward-looking products, including a robust virtual keyboard design."

I was thinking the same thing about Ken dumping more shares. Sounds like he may need some extra cash for this new endeavor. Part of me is more optimistic about CDVJ than IBZT. Ken and his "doings" are very unpredictable...can't tell week to week where we stand with retailers, shipment dates, outstanding shares...you get the picture. SO, don't get me wrong, if I see an opportunity to make back some of the money I've lost in this sandpit, I will. But it will not be a long term commitment! I wish everyone the very best with this stock, but I'm still recovering from a 3rd degree IBZT burn!
And I now have 50 times more CDVJ than IBZT.
VRMD just announced a 400-1 RS after hours; now I know why so many daytrade these little suckers!
All we can do now is hope. We all did our DD on both stocks - but that means nothing when we have 2 CEOs who lie through their teeth. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see how both play out. At least Ibiz should have some room and enough vol. for swing trading. CDVJ needs a shot of SOMETHING!
Good Luck

Always do your DD before Investing or Daytrading
The best thing is the company is in this country under our rules and even we can pay a visit.
I hope they get this out soon for the Fall computer buying season, college kids may think its cool, also for Christmas.
I hope it runs hard, probably a fad item that may last a year before people tire of it but possibly Bluedock solidifies the company as a bigtime tech player.
good luck

It has been a tough period for iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTCBB: IBZT), a developer of accessories for PDA’s. Last week, it entered into a deal with Virtual Devices, which specializes in the development of innovative virtual input device technologies including design and development of a Virtual Keyboard. VDI owns key intellectual property rights, patents and patent-pending applications related to its virtual data input products. The deal is expected to replace IBZT’s previous agreement with Enterprise Capital AG, Enterprise Capital AG Israel Ltd. IBZT recently filed suit against Enterprise, alleging that its breach of contract caused recurring delays in production of the Virtual Keyboard. Shares ended the week at $0.0125 on heavy volume.

Where do you think IBZT will come up with the $800,000? Just curious. Thinking we may hear of dilution...happened with the first aggrement...Any thoughts? Not trying to be negative, just think it could happen again.
Thanks again.

I found my old post about Subway, here it is:
I need to get this off my chest - it's one of my BIGGEST peeves:
I get email Alerts from Small Cap Ctr. and others every day. Most are very helpful, but the ones from the SUBWAY drive me out of my mind! They also go by CRG (Capital Research Group) and Wall St. something or other. I few people have posted here in the past: "News. We're on Subway!" or something similar. Folks - this is NOT News. There is nothing I hate more than a company that's paid to pump. When I first got into pennies a year and a half or so ago, I got email from them all the time pumping Gateway (GTWY at the time - now GWDL - No NOW GWAD). The stock (the company is a wanna-be MLM co. with almost no distributor base - NOT the computer co.) was at .0001, and could NOT be sold for any price, much like CMKM was up until last week. They kept printing things like "We expect GREAT thing from this company in the near future". Shortly thereafter Gateway did a reverse split and lots of people got hurt.
They try to make themselves sound legitimate by putting a co. like Pfizer or Microsoft or Walmart in the mix with THEIR analysis. Like today, they have a company in the mix and rate it 'Underperform' (CPWR) so newbies will think they are a legitimate reporting company. They have us, UVCL at "MArket Perform"! LOL - but NOT funny. They've been written up on StockPAtrol dot com, and I myself have called their Charles Tamburello butnever had a call returned of course.
Sorry for venting - but this is as bad to me as the MMs getting another month + to short us. I'm all for 'free speech' but when it simply is not true - it's not right and something should be done about it. But the fact that they call us a "Hot Stock to Watch" galls me. What's the difference between them and that kid Jonathan LeBed that made $800,000 when he was 15 by posting FALSE messages all over different message boards? Here's today's email:

I lost big on this one...if the SEC is investigating this more intensely, you know they have something on Ken and his cronies...Think the SEC stays pretty busy these days...they aren't randomly picking on penny stocks to kill time. I say Ken and his buds are in big trouble. And well they should be!
After the piece on CNBC last New Year's Eve (WoW - can you believe that was 8 MONTHS ago) I had Ibiz pegged for "Stock of the Year". What a fraud the 'man of the year' is. I hope him and Cortellazzi from CDVJ can share cells and they can do to each other what they've been doing to us.
Thanks for giving me a chuckle on this one and CDVJ. Better than just weeping in frustration...so I share your vision...the one with the two scam artists sharing a cell!! (LOL)
YEah - my picks are atrocious lately. I bought some BICO yesterday at .064 and of course it dropped! Man did the MMs run THAT down the last 7 minutes of the day.
Enjoy the weekend. I need to run out now to the car wash and some errands. Going to Orlando in the morning. I have my 3 kids all at UCF now. 2 starting Grad School on Monday, the other a Junior. I'll be back late MOnday. I MAY call AC later in between 'Important' calls If he answers, I'll let ya all know the lies of the day!

If KS and MP were selling their positions like a madmen at $.06 I could see them going to jail but to my knowlege they only sold a small portion of their holdings. Will Ibiz come out of this OK I don't know, but if the SEC fairs well and things start heating up at EC and products come out this could get interesting. I know that's a rosie view but I have to keep the faith...I'm a long way from breaking even and selling won't save much it will only confirm the loss.
The key thing is that the VK and Bluedock are unique products and if they are first out with these then hope for the best.

Yeah, someone took it down. It sure was a hoot, though.
Well, unfortunately, it only ever sounded interesting. A company called "iBiz" claimed to be releasing a product like this earlier this year, but that was the last I'd ever heard of it. I've never seen this product actually on a shelf (which isn't a good sign), and information about its availability is lacking.
Adding to the mystery is the Japanese firm "Tanomi," who last week began accepting orders for the same product. I'm more convinced that this time it's true, likely because of the demonstration video posted at Impress Watch and the ~$270 price tag.
Demonstration:

Company from Japanese will be selling the VKb in mid October

Hey Exal,
I wonder where you are getting your information from. You should think about looking for new sources. I know that this virtual keyboard technology was developed by the Military for use in our Fighter Jets. If this person from Siemen's (Funiture Outlet?), has the rights to the virtual keyboard, why is this person still just an employee? The Military has already spent more than Millions on developing this technology in years past. GET REAL DUDE!!!

But hey - I don't have a guilty conscience - I told them - if these things get in the stores - we'll be rich. If they're a smashing hit and then the blue dock hits - we'll be WEALTHY!
Oh well - back to reality.
Good luck to you all,
Steve
Well I read your same post on the Atomic Bobs site....you know the vaginized site for traders who don`t want to hear about reality. I would really like to see the look on those dumb asses.aiken walker...maine idea as those dudes post they are buying more.What a laugh.I sold my 3 million shares a while back and now could buy back 30 million shares. This company is heading lower and with current events I think it could actually close! Do your own DD..I have done mine..Good luck to you market....hope you are out
I bought in at .016 on Dec. 31st just before it was on CNBC. I held through the .07's and .08 (Because of COURSE it was going to .25 - $1.00)! I finally got disgusted and sold in the .03's - bought back in once at .019 and out again at .022 or something like that. Either way - it's a sad situation and hardly made up for the losses I took on other stocks to load up on it. Especially when I thought it was our Home Run. Hell, I even bought one of my sons' a bunch for his college graduation last April (With a guarantee that if it wasn't worth at LEAST what I paid at Christmas - I'd give him the difference. Hell - it's down 95% as I paid like .036 I think it was). My other son bought a boatload and made money once - but then gave it all back plus.
It's just sad to see.
Thanks again and good luck.
Luckily I did not own a huge amount of shares, I am still holding, and hopefully
the bluedock (again was supposed to be released this fall) will revive this piece of crap.
Perhaps they will go under.
I think the shareholders should be allowed to vote in new directors and leaders, perhaps that guy from Synosphere (with the bluedock - its probably a cardboard box with a slit in it to place a PDA.

of course it's their stupid press releases that got them investigated in the first place. Such a waste of potential with all of the free press and a first-to-market product that has "gee whiz" all over it.Luckily I did not own a huge amount of shares, I am still holding, and hopefully

So lets see what IBiz has coming up...the bluedock, and the virtual keyboard...if their new manufacturer is able to crank out one of them by christmas, I think we'll get ibiz back up to a comfortable price.

It closed yesterday at .002 then opened today at .003 and closed out up .021...
Does anyone know anything about this?
But inside info says the "Furniture Outlet" Guy will prove VKBs patent is based on prior art, which will actually open the door for all others producing virtual keyboards without a patent. Good news?
