Virtual Keyboard: A Tangled Web Gets Stickier
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "NEWS" @ 06:30 PM
Ok, let's recap, shall we? I posted the news last month that iBIZ was not able to sell their Virtual Keyboard because they didn't get proper certification. It looked like the Virtual Keyboard was just that - virtual. Fast forward a few weeks, and we have RobertS over at smartmobileassets.com digging up some "disturbing information". Then Dave of Dave's iPAQ actually gets his hands on one, reviews it, and likes it. Not so virtual, then - maybe the rest of us will be able to buy one soon?
Not so fast, compadre. RobertS over at smartmobileassets.com has done some MORE digging and has unearthed some interesting artifacts. Multiple lawsuits, shell companies, SEC investigations, licensing deals gone wrong, dogs and cats living together, etc. I fully expect someone in this whole mess to pop up and say that he's a vampire, or that his mother is really his aunt, but that doesn't matter because he REALLY loves Esmerelda, even though Esmerelda killed the baby he had with Janet in a tragic blimp accident. For those of you missing the Sarcasm Gene, this whole thing reeks of Soap Opera. :roll: While it's all very interesting to read about, I think this only makes it increasingly unlikely that the Virtual Keyboard will be released any time soon. What's your take?
