This is an extract from a article dated April 7 2004 from the BillingsGazette.com I have added the bold to the text for standout purposes. Its just a matter of time now longs.
iBIZ CEO Ken Schilling recently talked about how the new laser keyboard is getting attention:
Was the virtual keyboard designed with germ abatement in mind?
No, the germ factor has proven an after-market for us. We marketed it with the portability and connectivity that the keyboard has to a variety of different platforms.
How did the virtual keyboard become linked with germs?
We started to get a lot of interest from the medical field, for clean operating rooms. Now, they use covers, called skins, that go over computers and other devices in operating rooms. But those are disposable and quite expensive, compared to the virtual keyboard.
How much does the virtual keyboard retail for?
It sells for $99 and, yes, it is on the market.
How are sales so far?
At first, I thought this would be a novelty item. But we showed it at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, and it was nominated for Best of Show. There's been a lot of interest, and sales should exceed all our expectations, probably in the range of $100,000-plus per month in global sales.We've had tens of thousands of them already preordered.
