It projcts an image of a keyboard down, you type on it as if it was a real keyboard and it detects your finger movements and works out what keys you pressed.

The entire thing is about the size of a pack of 10 fags.

It projects from the top of it, the red glowing bit.

So you've gotta hold that phone thing up with one hand then try and type with the other hand.... not gonna get an essay done then

Cool idea. Does it really work well?

You dont hold it up, you just sit on down on your desk, or the table in starbucks or whatever.

You can even set it to "click" when you type

It only costs about 120 quid and it works nearly as well as a 5 quid normal keyboard, whats wrong with that?

Its useful if you use your phone to send emails, or if you want to look uber-hightech in meetings taking notes

Its so funny cause from a distance you cant see the keyboard so you can just see this person typing onto a solid wood desk and here all these little "clicks" coming from it as if you have pressed keys down.
