Haha - that was exactly what I was thinking as I looked at their website.

Bart I see 3 diffrent models of a laser keyboard on the links above. I would say there is a company that is selling these keyboards already, what I dont know was the product a failure, I m going to keep looking also.... other thing is that one company has the laser tecnology to be sold to companies to put them directly into pda's and other stuff, supprised thats not happening yet

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.

This tells me it has to be with the PC, lab top etc. It is not a stand alone as is the IBIZ VKB. The Cenesta is part of the PC ETC! My Opinion! I hope that does the trick! Eat MONSTER Eat!

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.

We were discusing the last thing they had to say on the VKB was 2002! I feel thats right! My statement above in " " was taken off google! We also are losing site of the big picture! They have the BLUE DOCK coming out in the 4th Qtr! But, whatever! No matter want comes I am in for the long term and no type of selling! IBIZ Technology is the companies name and IBZT is its stock symbol for the one who ask!

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.

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).
