Apple’s yet to be released smart phone is
already creating lots of positive buzz in the tech circuit. While there are the
usual bits and scraps thrown every now and then by the company to keep user
interest alive, people are still in the dark as to the features that will be
actually included in iPhone 5. One of the killer applications that the new
smart phone might have is the built-in laser keyboard capability, which is sure
to make users drop their current cell phones and make a run for iPhone 5.
According to iPhone 5 keyboard news doing the rounds, iPhone 5 will be equipped
with a an inbuilt laser projection technology that can turn any flat surface into
a virtual keyboard. Actually, the laser projection keyboard has been around for
quite some time. The technology was invented and patented by IBM engineers in 1992. The computer, iPad or iPhone
fitted with this technology projects an image of a keyboard on a flat surface
in front of it, and the user can use the virtual keyboard just as he would use
a normal keyboard. But, hey, wait a second, iPhone 4S has already go that
capability, so what’s the big deal? Yes, it has, but you will need a USB
wireless device or Bluetooth for that, and they don’t look so good on an
iPhone, do they? You won’t need them with iPhone 5.
Seeing how a lot of users struggle with
the small keyboards available with the current cell phones, a built-in virtual
laser projection keyboard is exactly the thing that iPhone needs. A virtual
laser projection keyboard is the same size as a normal keyboard and it will be
a boon for people with fat fingers, bad eyesight and bad typing speed. It also
makes typing much easier and faster for normal users. It will give the iPhone 5
the kind of flexibility offered by computers and iPads. If the USB-less and
Bluetooth-less laser keyboard has really been incorporated in iPhone 5, then it
will take Apple light years ahead of its competitors. According to the current iPhone 5 keyboard news, it does look
very plausible.
Being at the
forefront of smart phone technology, Apple has a very tough task trying to meet
the expectations of its fans. With every new release, users expect new ground-breaking
innovations that will place them ahead of owners of other brands. If Apple doesn’t
want to disappoint them, then iPhone 5 simple can’t not have an inbuilt laser
project keyboard.
