It was short-- the virtual laser keyboard was demonstrated- it looks like it works-it looks like a lighter that you sit on the table--not connected to the PDA by wires--it has a camera sensor and a red laser keyboard--

I sold my shares of IBZT 2 days ago when it was .008, oh how I could kick myself now. What are your thoughts? Where do you see this stock going within the next few months? Is this runup just a fluke with the new keyboard or do you think with the cnbc spot and excitement for the new product it will continue to rise. I've noticed the past few days everytime it rally's about mid day or earlier it falls, consolidatates and contiunes skyward? Any help would be appreicated? Thanks

iBIZ Technology Corp. Is Covered On CNBC PR Newswire - December 31, 2003 12:26 iBIZ's Virtual Laser Keyboard Is Featured in CNBC's Tech Watch Segment
PHOENIX, Dec 31, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT), a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDA) and hand-held devices, was covered today at 11:20AM Eastern on the "Tech Watch" segment on CNBC.
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.
Jane Wells, CNBC Correspondent, said the Virtual Laser Keyboard is "an accessory that embeds laser-emitting as lens, infrared matrix that is projected out to a flat surface ... as you type into it ... it reflects the image back to a small camera that sits inside of the device and it registers a character." Wells also said, "It even makes a little tapping noise to make the whole experience more life-like."
"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."
iBIZ will exhibit and showcase the much anticipated Virtual Laser Keyboard at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2004 in Las Vegas from January 8th - January 11th, 2004.
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 1st quarter 2004. An upcoming version for cell phones will be available in 4th quarter 2004.

I'm gonna try to hold till the trade show at least-- this one could test my resolve though- I didn't want to sell this morning but I couldn't verify that the news show was more than a rumor. I missed out on a lot of money by not waiting one hour. however the glass IS half full-- I'm happy with the profits I did get. I was trying to run a patent search on the laser keyboard and no matter how I refined the search I came up with pages of hits--has anybody seen the patent?

I held off buying friday for lack of a stong buy signal, however, there seems to be a lot of buying interest still. Trade show is next week on the 8th I think. Besides that, orders for their keyboard WILL increase from the CNBC spot alone, and PR's should be expected. Their new pr teams seems to be a little PR happy lately-

A little read from CNBC if you haven't already...
CNBC TRANSCRIPT 12/31/03:
Jane: "OK, the other technology I want to mention, not because it's a stock, which is literally a penny stock, and again, the company is not profitable. Yeah. But because of this product that is going to be unveiled at the consumer electronics show next month in Vegas, it is the light key virtual keyboard by IBIZ Technologies. Check this out......For your PDA or CELLPHONE, you can buy a device the size of a cigarette lighter for $99 and you have got a keyboard."
Ken: "Basically, we call it the Light Key and its an accessory that embeds a laser emitting diode as a lense. An infrared matrix that is projected unto a flat surface, and as you break the matrix, as you type unto it, basically what happens is it's reflecting an image back to a small camera that sits inside the device and it registers a character. For touch typist, it's a little bit different because there is not a resing place for your hand, so it's a hunt and peck type written. But you can go pretty fast on it." (tapping sound in background)
Jane: "And it makes a little tapping noise to make the whole experience more lifelike. Technology was originally created for the Israeli airforce in the cockpit, and it didn't work out there. Now, IBIZ, is hoping to launch it in stores like Radio Shack in about 1 month. One note Ted, it does not work well in direct sunlight."
Ted: "You can't take it to the beach to type a term paper."
Jane: "No, but I don't think you......." (interrupted)
Ted: "That's pretty neat though."
Jane: "It is, and what you do is break the matrix, and the camera actually reads the reflection off your fingertip."
Ted: "And how much does this cost? Is this out there yet?"
Jane: "In about 1 month....Radio Shack....$99 bucks. It hooks up wireless if you have bluetooth and PDA....." (interupted)
Ted: "Wow!"
Jane: "And if you get over the psychology of typing on a table top with a tapping sound."
Ted: "But as you said, no home key......remember typing class."
Jane: "Well, yeah, but you are going to have to do this." (Jane doing hunt/peck typing motion)
Ted: "Yeah, hunt and peck, which is what most of us do anyway. Jane, have a wonderful new year, healthy one."
