Virtual Keyboard Really Exists!

Somebody hide my wallet! MobilePlanet has ultra-cool, George-Jetson-ish Virtual Keyboard for sale for $99.95! The specs say it works with most Palms and uses a USB/Serial Connector. I'm going to guess that means it doesn't work with the Treo 600, but how do I tell??????  [via Daily Palm]

"The Virtual Laser Keyboard leverages the power of laser and infrared technology and projects a full-size keyboard onto any flat surface. As you type on the laser projection; it analyzes what you're typing by the coordinates of that location....

The Virtual Laser Keyboard requires no special training. The light weight device weighs two ounces and is similar in size to a disposable cigarette lighter. The Virtual Laser Keyboard includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery. It provides the Virtual Laser Keyboard with its own internal power supply, so it doesn't drain any battery power from the PDA or PC. The battery lasts three to four hours, more than enough time to do some instant messaging and SMS messaging from the handheld device or to update calendar and phone book entries."

I want, I want, I want!

Also on the list for tonight is to try out the supposedly released the new RealPlayer that supports the Treo 600. I think it still doesn't handle streaming, though, which would be the whole, fricking point.
