The Daily Mail is a Murdock-owned right wing rag, which continally spouts utter bullshit designed to anger it's readers.
Actually, The Daily Mail and many others including the Evening Standard are published by http://www.dmgt.co.uk/ (Daily Mail and General Trust), run by Lord Rothermere. Murdoch runs News Corporation, which publishes The Sun and The Times amonst others.
I tried out the Canesta projection keyboard at the Symbian expo in London two years ago. The keyboard was projected using a laser, and was perfectly visible in the artificial light of the exhibition hall. The keyboard generally worked well, and was linked bia Bluetooth to a Sony Ericsson P800.
The real drawback of these devices in my opinion is the lack of tactile feedback - until the character appears on the screen you don't know whether you've hit the key correctly. It's fine for hunt-and-peck typing, but touch-typists have trouble with them.
Cell phones don't necessarily have to have convenient keypads for number entry because they have a built-in phone directory. The design considerations for mobile usability are different to those of a desk phone. If the user wants to phone someone using a cell phone, they typically search for a contact by name rather than enter the number using the keypad.
I made the mistake of buying the new Foo Fighters album without reading the small print (...contains copy control technology, will play on a PC (windows) using software contained on the disc...). So I feared the worst by the time I got it home. However, it plays fine in WinAmp, rips without problems with Audiograbber, and plays fine in XMMS under linux. So either their copy control technology is useless, or they're trying something sneaky, whatever that may be.
Incidentally, the Compact Disc logo doesn't appear on any of the packaging or the disc itself.
Well, almost. UK residents have to pay around 1000 pounds a year towards tuition fees, which is means tested so poorer students don't have to pay. This is the same regardless of the stature or quality of the university. EU residents have to pay more, and non-EU residents even more.
Nevertheless, a university education at Oxford, Cambridge or the backwater college of your choice is essentially paid for by the education authority. Living expenses are a different matter, hence my large student loan...

It's labelled as Bell North on the diagram, probably because their R&D used to be called Bell Northern Research, but they're Nortel now.
The one I saw and tried used IR to determine the distance and angle of the finger from the sensor.
Maybe they're trying to go one better than Symbian. Symbian devkit licensees get source for just about the whole of Symbian OS except the kernel.
