The only complain I have with Apple is that once you start using their touch screen, any other product in the market feels vintage. In spite of their awesome touch screen, typing lengthy documents or article does get a little uncomfortable and cumbersome.

Although you have the option of carrying an external keyboard with you, but iKeyboard can turn out to be a far better and convenient solution.

Invented by Cliff Thier, iKeyboard is a smart product that matches the spacing of a virtual keyboard on iPad, thereby increasing your speed and accuracy.



Here's what Cliff has to say about his latest invention:

"Imagine sitting in a classroom trying to take notes but having to exclusively look at a virtual keyboard so you'll be able to hit the right letters. If you're thinking about where the next key is to tap, you can't take notes because you can't simultaneously think about what the teacher is saying.

Touch typing and hunt-and-peck typing use different parts of the brain. Touch-typing uses what's called muscle memory, which enables an action to become automatic. Touch-typing is like riding a bicycle, or playing a musical instrument, or just walking. 

Hunt-and-peck typing 'hijacks' the thinking part of your brain, making it unavailable for more important tasks. Your brain is monopolized by  having to ask a series of questions and issue a series of instructions: 'Where is the W? Touch that spot. 'Where is H? Touch the spot. 'By making touch-typing possible on a tablet computer, the iKeyboard sets the thinking part of the  brain free. Free to listen, free to learn, and free to think."

iKeyboard is currently a Kickstarter project and is looking for backers (minimum $1 pledge) to be able to take this project forward and perhaps make it a huge success. "I need to have an e-commerce web site designed and coded. Need money. Plus, tooling for the actual manufacturing. More money." says Cliff.
