One to Watch: Eleksen

Surfing the web today looking for some new sensor technology and came across Eleksen. Eleksen created the world's first 100% fabric sensors that enable wearable computing, command and control systems, and other accessories for the technophiles.

One solid example of the application of their technology is the G-Tech Wireless Smartphone Keyboard. It is a Bluetooth-enabled full laptop-sized Qwerty keyboard made of fabric that can hence be rolled up and stuffed into a pocket. Eleksen says it is compatible with most devices offered by BlackBerry, Nokia, Palm and Microsoft making it a great alternative to tiny thumb pad Qwertys. It's waterproof, so you don't need to worry about the spills that would normally cripple your whole laptop. Check out www.eleksen.com.
