Dear Mika: This sounds like some of the stuff the salespeople I met at ERICY were so excited about when I reported a month or so ago. Heck, I am even excited, I think I would like to have one. Any idea the cost? JDN

Ericsson launches plug-in communication tool: Chatboard for fast SMS and email Date: Wednesday, September 22 1999 A completely new communications tool is born. At a spectacular event in Hong Kong today, Ericsson together with MTV VJ Sonia Couling, unveiled the Chatboard™ and an Internet community website to go with it. The Chatboard™ is a snap-on keyboard, which together with a mobile phone makes rapid messaging over SMS and e-mail possible, as well as editing a personal site on the Internet. This innovative tool is the first product of its kind on the market. For those who are tired of extensive typing when sending messages from a mobile phone, salvation is here. On a small, metallic-coloured board, a 49 key keyboard and special function keys for SMS, e-mail, WWW, attachments and phonebook will help extending a phone's possibilities to communicate with text and pictures. The Chatboard™ is small in both size and prize. And it is remarkably easy to use. Just open the translucent blue plastic carrying case, attach the Chatboard™ to the phone, press the SMS or e-mail button and start typing. And if one wants to add an attachment to the e-mail, sound, picture or a document, just press the attachment-button and choose from what you have put on your personal homepage in the Chatboard™ Community Internet website. When purchasing the Chatboard™, access to the Chatboard™ website and a personal e-mail address is included.
