Cheaper manufacturing (it's obviously going to be more expensive now with OLED's being relatively uncommon) leads to cheaper prices. And I hope you are kidding about technology. What do you think we're going to do, hit a plateau where you can't get any higher?

I just searched OLED on /. and found the following

Quote:

s "It seems that Art Lebedev has reposnded to the Slashdotting that occured to their page about the ' Optimus Keyboard'. They have included a FAQ at the middle-right of the page stating some of the questions that Slashdotters were wondering. A few interestign ones were ' It will be real', 'We hope it will be released in 2006', 'It will cost less than a good mobile phone', 'It will be OS-independent', and finally 'It will most likely use OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow)'. They've also included some common answers abotu Russia and it seems that they are as well searching OEMs (From the FAQ: OEM will be possible (why not?), Contact us for hi-res images, or interview inquires). It will be very interesting to see how this technological marvel will be created. Sign me up! I'll be ordering one in 2006."


Information regarding OLED

Also more info regarding OLED

http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200501/200501040025.html

I find the fact it's predicted to be a $2.2 billion industry by 2008 fascinating. All those LCD and Plasma TV's we own will be such a snore compared to this.

In all honesty, Jenni, I have a hard time believing that the Optimus Keyboard is real.
it looks like a big photoshop to me. An awesome dream, but a dream.

Its not retail, it is a real DESIGN, but that is all. If you read the page it says things like:

Quote:
It will most likely use the OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow).


and

Quote:
It’s in the initial stage of production.

We hope it will be released in 2006.

It will cost less than a good mobile phone.

It will be real.

Would be totally awesome. Imagine if they fix it so games can communicate immediately, wont need to check the controls, just look at your keyboard. No more stupid tutorials Razz

Very simple yet clever idea non the less.
