[U]A (Real) Light Keyboard[/U]
Teenagers threaten to take over the world, unless we can minimize the number of sophisticated messaging products using tiny thumb-operated keyboards. Although the iBIZ Virtual Keyboard is a small device (about the size of a disposable lighter), it projects a full-size laser keyboard — including programmable function keys — onto any flat surface. Infrared technology senses what keys are being hit and each keystroke triggers an old-fashioned typewriter-like sound as feedback. Touch typing is tricky, but it's definitely possible to work up to a semi-normal speed. The Virtual Keyboard unit is smaller than any folding keyboard and has no moving parts. It retails for $99.99, connects to PCs and a wide variety of Palm Pilots and Pocket PCs (only one phone so far) and comes with a rechargeable battery, AC adapter, connectors and travel pouch.

Just caught the end of it. They we're projecting the keyboard onto a white board and saying that in the future they'll be much smaller and in cell phones. I never heard the words IBZT or VKB, but I caught the end of it. Pretty cool though.

The TODAY show on NBC produced a segment outlining some possible trends/lifestyle/gadgets for the future. The VKB was one of them. It was displayed with a cell-phone. It seems that the VKBs indeed made its way to analysts.

I recorded the segment using the TV tuner card on my PC. I can e-mail the AVI to you if you want to host it...It's about 1.25 minutes long at 160 x 120, 2.6MB divx4 codec.
To those that missed the show, they just basically briefly talked about the VKB technology...iBIZ was not mentioned.
Ken CAN'T AFFORD to fork this up....He could NEVER buy all this free publicity. He just has to get his stuff together..... How I wish I had traded this puppy since Dec - I'd be WEALTHY and have a million free shares! LOL - (Don't you love Monday morning QBs)?
Also - Does anyone know where we can get a list of all the OTC and Pink stocks traded on the BE, so we can avoid them? Also, Stocks like this, Ibiz, and others that we ALREADY own - how do we find out IF they are traded on BE unless we already know?
TIA

IMO it's really good for the stock that not so much ppl (here) talk about this stock. But nobody can deny that you can buy (by pre-order) this VKB in the most (biggest) stores on the internet...Yahoo-Shopping, CC, and so on. So IMO the next hype of this stock will be really huge, so I only can recommend all to watch this stock the next time. You can trade this stock like all the other penny stocks, but IBIZ is different....because at the end it will become a stock for the "longs" ...when the REAL sales starting !
...and then there are already the next REALLY GREAT products like the Blue Dock the world’s first PDA docking station that allows pocket handhelds to function as a primary computing platform. BD could be larger then VKB ... because the PDA market is a strong growing market now ....mobile phones become more and more PDA's and PDA's become more and more multi-functional including mobile phone functions....at the end the PDA's are the winners and it's normal that your mobile phone is an PDA !

I've found an article http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2004/02/09/newscolumn5.html that IBIZ expects to sell 100.000 VKB's each month ....so this 100.000x12x100= 120 Million Dollars per year only for the VKB !!! OK, they don't get the fully 100$ per VKB as revenue, but I think it is 30-40$ ....so at least 30-40 Million Dollars per year....thats heavy or not !?
If they make 15 Million Dollars/year with the other products they have, so at all we've about 45-55 Mill./year
Total outstanding shares = 2,370,000,000
Earnings per share = $50,000,000/2,370,000,000 = .0211 per share
Use a very conservative P/E = 35 , what is very, very conservative for a growing stock.
pps = P/E x Earnings per share pps = 35 x .0211 = .74 $/share
Ciao

Che, Thanks for the math,,I have been in IBZT for about 6 months,,large holding here in the millions. I like that .74. This is being shorted and should bounce back huge. When this is shipped,look out. Patience is a virtue.
