Well, you might have something there. And, when the keyboard goes away they just pull it out of software. Cool idea. Time will tell.

Yep … but think of a full-size keyboard ‘on screen’ which can be used in exactly the same way as a real one? No mechanicals, less weight, etc …

Hi Brian. I didn’t think of that. In other words, you think Apple is working on what used to be called a “tablet PC,” or, something like that.

I’m not quite sure… Me thinks they’re working on a solid state MacBook sans hard disk but not about about sans keyboard. Time will tell, it always does.

Still, this iPhone keyboard video is convincing, very well done.

Reckon this is the virtual keyboard that will appear on an upcoming MacXXX subnote laptop, with a screen in the same plane as is AlphaSmart’s Neo, but with no mechanicals and much more space for the screen. It will change the whole concept of laptops. Brian.
