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.

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!

I think we need to change the name of this thread! "IBZT This week sales begin on lazer keyboard". People are going to start seeing through our ruse.....a "week" doesn't last 22 days! LOL I also wanted to say that NEO was dead wrong with this prediction...."there report is that they are back logged and that this product is projected to make more revenue in one day than all the other products they sell have made in a month." We all know it actually made more revenue in one day than they made in an entire YEAR!(due in no small part to the VKB!!!) Good post!

"but really when i made that post it was quoteing from a ibiz news release..."
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!

Bart Too bad I am all in....or I'll buy some more!! We'll hear about Canesta over and over again... now it'll about Canesta being a threat to IBZT Next it'll be about IBZT blowing away Canesta, followed by Canesta scrapping it's keyboard project. Then we'll see Canesta's investors start to take interest in IBZT and finally, some of us will retire to a nice carribean island sipping pina coladas everyday with the word "IBZT" tattooed to our butts.

You would think with all the stuff we all have on here about it, this would put an end to it! I hope it does! Eat MONSTERS Eat! You said if you do not like it do not buy it! If you like it buy it and that is what I am going to do tuesday morn!

And by the way I figured out what the heck the blue dock really does I think, forgive me if you already know but I just wasnt sure. turns out it not only is a docking station for your palm to link to your desktop but in my understanding it replaces your desktop tower all together! instead of having a tower hard drive and a seperate palm you just use the operating system of your palm for everything you do and when you dock it in it brings your palm system up on the desk top monitor. wich has your printer and all the other nick nacks waiting for it, this was its like carrying your desk top with you in stead of a laptop wich is always a lap top.

"my understanding it replaces your desktop tower all together!"
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

I looked a little deeper into that blue dock thing and I am correct it replaces the need for maintaining a desktop and a hand held or laptop... instead you just have a handheld and a docking station,,, on the road you use your typical hand held features with the stylus pen (or your virtual keyboard) ,, when back in the office you just dock your hand held and it brings all your info in your handheld on to the big screen and you work on it like it was a desk top... but there is no tower... the hand held has the operating system in it already..... this will reduce costs for computer matinece and other costs for big buisesness.. my only question is wether or not the operating system will be fast enough. people dont want to give up speed!!

The bluedock is a good idea, but i dont think its as good of an idea as everyone says. Lets face it, the bluedock will not replace PC'. The most advanced PDAs only have like 256mb of storage on them. I would fill that up very fast. My 80GB HD is almost half full, and not all of it is junk. For example i would not be able to store my digital photos unless i shelled out big bicks for a removeable memory card. Also, the computing power of PDS's is severly limited, however it may be enough tfor those who jsut need to word process, use spreadsheets and send emails. I would rather have my 2.53GHz tower and just hot sync it to my palm tungsten T3.

you are right about that but I think as you sayed there are applications where it will be usefull such as buisnesses where all ppl will be doing is smaller functions with email and spread sheets and similar things like that.... it wont replace the home computer... besides how many people with a home computer really need to carry it with them anyway

OK, I will try one last time. WE ALL NEED TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE not just one or two items! We are puting our heads in the sand if we do not look at the BIG PICTURE! NEO! I read it and this is my opinion! This was done around 28 Feb 2002! Harsper took this to the Cibet show somewhere in 2002 or 2003! ((Folks there are a lot more CeBIT shows than just in Germany! They are all around the world at different times!)) I looked to see if iBIZ was selling the Flat-Panel Monitors yet! NO! The article kept refering to 2005! Heres my guess! Possible in late 2004 or sometime in 2005! iBIZ will only be allowed to sell it in the US the way I read it. To find out more info go to google and type in Harsper and read read and read!
BLUE DOCK! Go to google and type in BLUE DOCK and read and read! Quote: The BLUE DOCK docking station, which works with SDIO enabled PALM and pocket PC hand helds, can be used with any full size monitor, keyboard, mouse, network connection, SD card, and supported USB devices, as it has secure digital slot for MORE STORAGE and can send a VGA, 640x480 or SVGA, 800x600, signal to an external monitor. In addition to the PS2 keyboard and mouse ports, as well as network interface port, the unit includes a power support and charging circuit! I heard this neg stuff all along on the VKB now the BLUE DOCK and I guess it will go on an on! Now here is the BIG THING they are going to install a little button on it! When you press the button it will give a roll of toilet paper! Now is that enough for this little guy to do! (Just a joke)! ((MY Opinion! When a car was built they did not put in all the options! Why, because they wanted to later add them and make even more money!))
Now on Tuesday! The news conf with Ken did not add anything that we did not know already! The 10K that was released as far as I am concerned did not state anything we did not already! This thing will go up next week because sometime during the week these naked short sellers will be gone! Until they are we go a little up then a little down! But, if a PR hits with sells #s what out! The BIG PICTURE that includes the future products are the thing! Lets quit living in the past! Eat MONSTERS Eat Last time what company do you know at .04 to .05 that is just about totally out of debt? NONE NONE NONE!

i'm sorry if my reference to another virtual input device made some posters here feel uncomfortable here.
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
