Screw Apples rounded corners - now we have a real useful invention that takes care of a problem we all know everything about.
The washable keyboard can be held completely under water and actually be cleaned!
I wonder how many cases of the flue that would have been prevented if those keyboards were standard on big workplaces? Those keyboards must be crowded with small organisms that are not good for your health.
Even if the current trend is for people that cannot write and need a touch screen with pictures to use a computer, this will be a hit in the long run, after the world has re-discovered the advantages of writing.
Call me old fashioned but I grew up in a time when it was concidered an advantage to be able to write and read so I think this thing has a future.
It is not wireless yet - and that is bad.
But when this thing gets wireless it will be a huge hit. Unless ofcourse Microsoft or Apple will claim that they have patented washing - If it gets a huge commercial hit - they probably will.
A washable keyboard, because life happens. I like it....
