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

BTW, don't let Bart here you say Canesta around here, or he will yell at you! LOL just kidding Bart!

Also, I would strongly encourage new members to start reading from Page 1 of this thread.
There are tons and tons of excellent info.

LOL opiate...
I see you're excited about IBZT huh? One man "post and reply" on page 13? haahah kidding.

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

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.

Just to re-iterate, discussing isn't pumping or bashing, it's just the logical thing to do.

I concur completely. However - we COULD get a NEOM or AGIS like Super-Spike on news that's perceived as INCREDIBLE! But like those and most others - it would, imo, pull back to a realistic level VERY quickly!

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?

I have been reading your posts and have been invested in this company since October of last year. I am not a daytrader and so have been riding these wild ups and downs!! Not always the easiest thing to do.
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 ;-)))

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.

I think a lot of the lack luster days is due to the fact that there isn't a lot of selling going on. I think the MMs work the AM to try and get some action then basically leave it alone in the afternoon. I think those that are in are staying put and those that are out are staying put too(pending news) With the 10K out I would expect a nice showing Tuesday but nothing stellar as I think a lot of people won't get in until they know that there is absolutely zero risk-it will be their loss. 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/

OK ENOUGH!!!!! STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARDS!!! Think people think...... This stock needs to progress on sales numbers and the financial health of the company, not on hype. This company needs steady growth and that will occur once the company has settled into increasing sales volumes backed by product diversification and company growth. 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"
GO IBZT! ;-)
