It is finally here! The thing we have all seen in Sci-Fi movies since we were kids, the one thing every mobile phone user has always wanted to get his hands on (even if you actually can't do that :) ), the keyboard I have personally dreamed of since the first time I had to write an SMS on my cellphone's ludicrous keypad, the QWERTY keyboard everybody waited for so long has arrived!

This keyboard, branded as the "I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard", is manufactured by the Hutchinson Harbour Ring Limited - HHR, a subsidiary of Hutchinson Whampoa Limited, one of the largest companies being listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

What is the I-tech capable of? Well, it can do pretty much everything a classic one can and even more. You can use it with your laptop, your PC, with a compatible mobile device, your PDA and even your smartphone.

The VKB (Virtual Laser Keyboard) uses an infrared-laser joint technology to generate some kind of high-tech invisible field and to project a full size QWERTY keyboard right in front of you and what is even more amazing is that this thing can happen whatever the surface.

Imagine such a keyboard projected on a water surface and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

The most important thing is that the VKB actually acts like a real keyboard and you even get realistic typing sounds!! I'm really impressed by this product, to say the least, and to cut the story short, this is what you get for your money: the thing works with almost any kind of mobile devices you might think of, it will make you save space by not needing a traditional keyboard, it can be used in sterile and industrial environments and even when being in a train, bus or any other type of transportation machine you may think of.

Not to mention the fact that your text messaging skills will go through the roof in an instant!
