PHOENIX, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT - News) today announced the XELA Case/Keyboard is now shipping. The ultra-compact XELA Case/Keyboard is the only keyboard on the market that is designed for conventional two-handed typing as well as single-handed input. IBIZ's patented design allows the XELA Keyboard to transform into a Case for your PDA right before your eyes.

"We are extremely pleased to begin shipping the XELA Case Keyboard," said Mark Perkins, Executive Vice President of iBIZ. "With over a year and a half spent in design and development, the finished product meets the highest expectations for portability and performance."

The XELA currently supports Palm's m500, m505, i705, Zire 71, and the Tungsten series. iBIZ soon expects to release versions of the XELA for Hewlett-Packard iPAQs and Dell Pocket PCs.

"The XELA brings an incredible amount of usability and value to handheld computers," added Perkins. "As we begin to experience a broader expansion of wireless PDA use, the always attached case keyboard will be a valuable tool for users worldwide who want to send e-mails and instant messages and do data entry on the fly."

Users merely need to open the protective cover, unfold the wings of the keyboard and it is ready for use. The XELA eliminates the need to carry a separate keyboard that has to be attached and set up. It has the smallest footprint of any "two-handed" keyboard and ships with a holster and belt loop, giving users convenient accessibility. The patented design also allows Palm synchronization and charging while attached to XELA, so there is never a need to remove your Palm from your XELA.

The XELA Case/Keyboard is viewable and can be ordered online by going to http://www.ibizpda.com/xela.html.
