Info soumise par Galaga: Voici un copie du mail que je viens de recevoir de Steve Green (Sales and Marketing Director) d'Eleksen Ltd, la société qui fabrique apparemment les futurs Claviers souples pour le SPV et autres Smartphones.
Pour les non-anglophones, le mail dit en substance
que le clavier en question est désormais disponible en tant qu'accessoire dans les quatre pays concernés (France, UK, Suisse, Danemark) chez les revendeurs Orange...
Pour info la société qui produit ce clavier (Eleksen) est également celle qui produit les claviers souples Logitech pour Palm. Reste à connaître le prix (celui pour Palm coûte environ 120€ et la date effective de disponibilité).

SOFT KEYBOARD PIONEER ELEKSEN ANNOUNCES COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY OF FLEXIBLE
KEYBOARD FOR SPV SMARTPHONE FROM ORANGE
New fabric keyboard technology now the essential accessory for Orange SPV
customers across Europe
London, UK, March 11th, 2003 - Eleksen, the UK-based world leader in soft
interface technology, today announced that its fabric keyboard is now
available as an accessory for users of the SPV Smartphone in the four
European countries that have launched the device - France, Denmark,
Switzerland and the UK. Available through both Orange's direct and indirect
sales outlets, the flexible keyboard - which can be crumpled and folded
repeatedly without impacting performance - represents a major advance in
ending the data entry bottleneck that affects small, mobile devices.
"It's no good increasing the bandwidth of the network if the last few inches
to the keypad still restrict the user," said Bernard Smith, CEO, Eleksen.
"While handset manufacturers and mobile operators continue to increase the
power and capabilities of wireless applications and services, their
creativity - and revenue streams - are going to remain restricted by the
physical limits that traditional phone keypads place on the user's
interaction with this new world of commerce and entertainment. This issue is
going to be particularly important as mobile gaming begins to take off, and
customers become frustrated with the limitations of traditional keypad
input."
Andy Thomas, Device Development for OrangeWorld, Orange said: "The flexible
keyboard makes texting and emailing even easier. Usability is a crucial
driver for the take up of the rich new Orange services we are developing at
OrangeWorld." He added: "This is a fantastic accessory that makes the SPV an
even more compelling device for Orange customers - especially business
customers. Additionally, consumer customers are continually seeking new ways
to interact with content and games on their SPV, and the keyboard provides a
versatile next link in that value chain."
Eleksen's unique ElekTex technology makes it possible to create highly
durable, all-fabric keyboards for use with almost any mobile device. This
gives handset and applications designers the opportunity to develop
completely new ways for customers to use and control their increasingly
complex devices - without adding unnecessary overheads in terms of size,
weight or power consumption.
