Many phone manufacturers are looking at the Virtual Keyboard technology, and some are even trying to find a way of implementing them into their phones. T3.com was going to use this kind of technology in their concept phone - The 01 Phone, however many users found that the Keyboard wasn't as reliable as having a QWERTY keyboard on the actual phone, as it is less practical to always find a surface to project your keyboard onto. This has a good future, however I believe that it could only work in desktops, and if it trys to get into the portable devices sector, it will suffer.
