Tech firms fiddle with tiny keypads "To use the Senseboard, you slip a rubber pad over each palm. Sensors track muscle movements in your hand and allegedly can tell when you reach up for a Y, for instance, or across for quote marks. It's amazing that something like that can work at all. But it doesn't work well. Reviewers at Comdex reported that its accuracy rate was zero percent, give or take a little. For Samsung's Scurry, you put a sensor on each finger. A tiny gyroscope measures movements in the air and figures out which key you hit. Reviewers reported that this works better than the Senseboard, getting only about 19 of 20 letters wrong."

Sorry, Pamela and Kate. Guess I'll stick with my Stowaway keyboard, at least for now.
