"W...I'm not so sure that betrays my age... "What's my age again? What's my age again?" <br /><br />That is to say, I'm a Gen Xer, but all the Gen Yer undergrads surrounding me also touch-type on a regular keyboard. <br /><br />I do hunt-and-peck quite well, thank you very much. In fact, I prefer the iPhone in the vertical position because the smaller keyboard (compared to horizontal) means I can whip out a text message or email pretty quickly.<br /><br />But I want my iPad to be a replacement computer, and for that I need a regular sized keyboard that I can use as a regular keyboard. You see, with touch type, I can type up to 90 words per minute (having been tested professionally when I worked for a credit card company and did input all freakin' day).<br /><br />Anyway, you're right that the dock may not work so well, but then they have all those other keyboards, so it's okay.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-26630801349252065262010-04-09T14:02:35.822+09:002010-04-09T14:02:35.822+09:00Nice!
You betray your age possibly in your abilit...Nice!<br /><br />You betray your age possibly in your ability to touch-type. I think Apple has realized that most if not all of it's demographic these days are "hunt and peck" typists, even if, like myself they can type at a reasonably fast rate. <br />Our hands are always hovering just above the keys in the most awkward of carpal tunnel inducing postures!<br />I was glad to see that the iPad will recognize any bluetooth keyboard, I hear the keyboard/dock doesn't travel well because the stand the iPad rests upon doesn't move. I was thinking one of those rubber roll-up ones myself.Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625992313463037847noreply@blogger.com
