You must realise that if it was bluetooth, then it would require charging after 10 or so hours of use?

I suppose there's no harm in me quoting their email:
I may try asking them again later, if the site ever comes back up!

There's no such thing as a NFC keyboard. Even if you could stay in range with the device, there's no protocol for such a device to use. NFC is for burst transmission and not for persistent device connectivity<SNIP>
Admittedly I know little about NFC, so this may well be pure vapor.

Ugh.......
So this depends on if we ever get the BT4 we were promised earlier on & all the signs were pointing to.*
I spoke to someone about that recently, & he couldn't tell me much except:
I guess the only way to know for sure, is to ask One2Touch to explain how it works.
We should be able to pick up ******** pretty quickly....
*was in doco/specs all over the place, & some personnel in Australia felt it was coming w/1.1

BT4 is almost done, but not production level. You should raise a ticket about it to bugzilla. That it was promised.
The part missing from BT4 stack (the uncomplete part) is BT LE (Low Energy)...
It's really interesting for lot of accessory cases, but those are still so new that ordinary user would not be benefitting from those much within a year or so.
May be the reason why it hasn't been perfectly completed yet....

It is purely NFC. Just check out the patent

(Search word "External Keyboard" & Aasen).

Antigravity craft slips past patent officers :

Basically, release a product or it doesn't exist.
Also you said yourself NFC provides burst transmission, meaning that each keystroke can be a burst of data, meaning hardly any battery usage, and phone is CONSTANTLY in contact with the keyboard seeing as the design has the phone resting on the flat surface in the middle
