Until we can have screens that roll up and fit into our pockets, this smart fabric portable keyboard will have to do. Developed by Brit company Eleksen Ltd., it's a 2.4-ounce Bluetooth keyboard made out of a special touch-sensitive cloth material that s water repellent—not that you would really be wanting to use it in the rain or anything. Its electronics are tucked inside a plastic housing with an LED that shows you when it's communicating with your PDA, cell phone, or any other Bluetooth-capable device. The company says its "full laptop-sized," which probably means it's too small, but it s certainly a lot bigger than typing on that CrackBerry with your thumbs. No pricing yet.
