Finally, An iPhone Case With a Built-In Virtual Keyboard - madisonwidefirearm

Celluon turned single heads during the last yoke of years thanks to their unique laser sticking keyboards. Specifically, the Magic Cube has been a hot ticket item for anyone wanting to escape the cramped confines of a touchscreen user interface, due to its ability to create a full-sized typing tool on almost whatever surface. But for iPhone users who don't want the added clutter of some other gadget, Celluon's ambitious a recently entirely-in-one solution — the Portent.

Tech web log Pocket-lint got some active clock with the Presage at CES, where the ball over mannequin was spotted in both lily-white and black. As far as functionality, it's a three-result problem for anyone World Health Organization might find themselves in a situation where a lot of typewriting is needed and no laptop is in sight. Aside from the laser applied science that creates the keyboard itself, the Prodigy boosts battery life and Acts as a stopgap stand, alike whatever good iPhone case should.

Pocket-lint was able-bodied to test the new virtual keyboard at CES in Las Vegas and can report plump for that it works so long-staple As you can typecast flawlessly. What we mean by that is that, as soon as you start dragging your fingers, the system struggles to recognise your key inputs and types something else. Users might also find it hard to typewrite without any tactile feedback.

If people could get wont to the diminutive typing surfaces of devices alike the touchscreen phones and the BlackBerry, moving back to a wider surface country shouldn't be much of problem once you puzzle over used to the precise typewriting motions required. Although the Prodigy reportedly won't work on a glass table or contemplative surface, IT should come in handy when your laptop's battery is dry and you need to work on a long flight. Right away that the Magic Cube's engineering can be incorporated into an iPhone case, perhaps the next logical whole step for Celluon should be desegregation it into a smartphone… without an accessory?

Either way, endure in mind that the Prodigy doesn't come cheap. Sac-lint says the accessory bequeath sell for 150 pounds, which is roughly 230 dollars in U.S. currency. For that price, you could buy in fair-minded about any smartphone with a two-year contrive and stick to the touchscreen.
