iPad Keyboard Woes

It has been a while since I provided any feedback on our iPad. Which is interesting considering that I used it almost every day while I was in the U.S. this summer. My observation still is that the iPad is really more for consumption rather than creation. Typing an email on the existing touch keyboard is beyond painful. And those of you who have received emails I have typed under this duress are aware of the inability to send a "quick note"! But alas, there may be a solution coming for the creators out there who own an iPad. A new case which includes a keyboard which works via Bluetooth. Called the KeyCase iPad Folio, the keyboard will go on sale shortly in the UK for £59.95 and will carry a usage time of between 45 to 90 hours. (The iPad's batterly lasts around 10 to 12 hours.)Yeah!

On a side note, it should be noted that this manufacturer, Shenzhen Paoluy Silicone Technology Co., Ltd is in China. AND they also make silicone breast forms. They probably have tons of experience with geeks!
