Typing documents on the iPad’s touch screen keyboard can be a chore. As I wrote in an article earlier this month, one solution is to pair up an Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard with the iPad.
But for on-the-go writing, there’s an iPad app that might make it easier.
Many people find the iPad keyboard too big. Keyboard Upgrade ($1 from the iTunes app store), which appears atop a blank white screen, allows you to adjust the size of the keyboard. But the main attraction is that it lets you split the keyboard into two halves, so that your hands are not locked into a single position.
There’s also a feature that allows you to rotate the keyboard pieces and to move them about.
But it’s far from a perfect replacement for a real keyboard, and in the app form, one must copy and paste any documents or writings to a file that accepts text.
Still, is it worth the price of a single Milky Way bar to audition? Yes, and it’s less calories.
