World's first fabric keyboard makes Cannes debut The world's first fabric keyboard, designed for use with devices such as palmtops, organisers and mobile phones, has been unveiled at IT Expo, Cannes, France. The Elektex keyboard, developed by the British company ElectroTextiles, can be folded, scrunched and washed, without losing functionality. "Elektex will revolutionise mobile computing and communications," said development director Chris Chapman. "A keyboard that you can roll-up and put in your pocket, that is waterproof, lightweight and robust, will make life easier for people communicating on the move the world over." http://www.electrotextiles.com/elektex/press06.htm
