PHOENIX, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT - News), a leading manufacturer and distributor of accessories for personal digital assistants (PDA) and hand-held devices, today announced that the Virtual Laser Keyboard is now available for pre-order from their site at http://store.yahoo.com/ibizpda/ .

Ken Schilling, President and Chief Executive Officer of iBIZ Technology Corp stated, "Yesterday afternoon we began taking pre-orders from our web site for our Virtual Keyboard. Even without an announcement that the product was available for pre-order, the first hour sales were impressive and appear to be a solid barometer of this product's ongoing success. More importantly, the anticipation by consumers for this product has been overwhelming. We are excited to be making delivery on the first units in approximately thirty days and look forward to placing this evolutionary product on retailers' shelves."

For $99.99, users will receive a cutting edge device, which has recently received the media attention of CNBC, CNN, TechTV, and additional top tier media outlets.

iBIZ's Virtual Laser Keyboard provides a full-size QWERTY keyboard, smaller and more convenient to use than the folding-type keyboards, and similar to them in functionality. It is the perfect portable input device for PDA's, or can be used as an everyday keyboard for notebook or desktop PC's. It is similar in responsiveness to regular keyboards, but extremely futuristic looking, with its projected laser image.

The Virtual Laser Keyboard requires no special training. The keyboard employs a USB/serial cable connection to communicate with the PDA or PC. Future models will incorporate Bluetooth and/or IR Wireless Connections to a variety of devices. The lightweight 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. The device can also be plugged directly into an A/C outlet for continuous typing requirements.

The Virtual Laser Keyboard is ideal for well-lit offices. It's also an excellent choice for any workplace that has clean rooms and medical facilities, and any industry that requires a dirt-free environment. In the education industry keyboards are the highest single point of failure due to the constant abuse they receive on a daily basis. The classroom keyboard also harbors an incredible amount of debris and germs. Our Virtual Keyboard will eliminate not only the cost of maintaining mechanical keyboards in volatile locations, but will help to maintain a healthy environment as well.

The Virtual Laser Keyboard is compatible with Palm, Pocket PCs, laptops and desktop PCs. An upcoming version for cell phones will be available in 4th quarter 2004. The Virtual Laser Keyboard will be available this quarter for $99.99 from major retailers and other e-commerce sites.
