PHOENIX, Jan 13, 2004 /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 on Friday, January 9th, 2004 on Tech TV &CNN.
Tech TV &CNN aired coverage of the International Consumer Electronics Show 2004, which took place in Las Vegas from January 8th -- January 11th 2004. The iBIZ Virtual Laser Keyboard was selected and aired as one of the 'Hot Products'being showcased during CES. CNN picked up a broadcast from Tech TV, and aired it on Friday, January 9th. CNN coverage can be seen at the iBIZ web site; www.ibizcorp.com .
'The comments from the hosts of CNN during this clip are very similar to the overall response from everyone else who has seen the Virtual Keyboard -- they can't believe it!'said Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President of iBIZ Technology Corp. 'This device, and the technology that it brings to the industry is absolutely phenomenal. We have had industry leaders from numerous vertical markets that are already making plans to implement this device into their applications. We knew the applications for the Virtual Keyboard were broad, but we never fully realized how far-reaching until we were 'enlightened'by representatives from the medical, dental, ATM, kiosk, gaming, and other markets when they stopped by our booth.'
Perkins further commented, 'The response at CES was absolutely incredible. We had people lined up ten deep trying to get a glimpse at the keyboard and hoping for a chance to use it.'
'We also had press coverage from every corner of the world. There was hardly a time when we didn't have someone at the booth with Press credentials. If we can use CES as a gauge to determine now successful the Virtual Keyboard will be, then this product is a 'home run'.'
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 1st quarter 2004.
