Ok, I'm a self-admitted gadget freak. I have too many, but that's still not enough - I want more. I do a lot of surfing to find the coolest gadgets, or what I think are the coolest gadgets anyway, and I come across a lot that intrigue me. However, last week I came across something that I'm going to define as a "need," not a "want."
The Celluon Magic Cube, a virtual bluetooth keyboard, that's fully compatible with Android 2.2, which is the OS that my Archos 101 runs.

I've been taking my tablet to more and more meetings, using it to show PDFs and other documents. What I really want to use it for is taking notes during meetings. I really hate writing my notes on a pad, and then having to go back and type them up later.
The problem is, however, typing on an on-screen keyboard doesn't work very well for me. I type around 100 wpm, which I've learned requires physical keys. So, going back to two-finger typing on an on-screen keyboard is just a little frustrating to me. While I don't think this virtual laser keyboard will keep up with me typing at full speed, I think that it will work a lot better than the on-screen keyboard. And, if nothing else, it looks pretty cool!
Now, I just need to learn how to justify spending $200 on a keyboard...
