It sounds like this program has great potential, limited only by the imagination of the user.

Is it tailored to the user?

A lot of people are helpless when they sit down to new machines. Where are my bookmarks? I can't find my web sites! Hey, I don't know my password! My system usually remembers them for me!

Having smarter keyboards can result in seriously handicapped users in some situations. Still, these sound like they could be cool.

Sounds like a lot of extra crap when they can simply switch to a more efficient Dvorak layout.

I would like to see a better description of it. Sounds to me, at least, like its a keyboard with a program running behind it with keystrokes. Very similiar to my microsoft natural keyboard with its porgrammable buttons...

Do I understand it right or does anyone have a better way to explain what they mean in an example?

The way I go through keyboards, I prefer the $8.00 ones.
There are several free software that does the same as the keyboard.

This sounds like another bit of hard/software that thinks I can't survive without it running in the background and connected to the Internet all the time.

I want a keyboard with LED letters that can change on the fly from one language to another.

Sounds like they're moving a lot of the word processor's functions into the keyboard. Could be cool, but it just might be more bang than is needed. I've got fancy keyboards with lots of extra buttons and I never use them, hardly ever even use the Start menu (which I like to call the Apple key) or popup menu keys either, the regular 101 are enough to get everything done.

When do I get Control?

I've been using the PDA version for the last few years. It's the easiest input method I've found yet, including a full size bluetooth keyboard.

I'll settle for just requiring a doouble-combo for the $^#*(%&*% "caps lock" to activate, like on a regular typewriter.

Oh, and maybe slightly larger keys, or at least better separation between keys.

I don't know if imagination will limit me as much as the fact that I type 120 words a minute on an everyday keyboard.
