After playing with someone’s iPad, I don’t like the way the keyboard takes up so much room in landscape mode. Plus it’s hard to use when you’re standing. Short of using only one hand on it.
Then I ran across this concept image:
That’s EXACTLY the way I use the device.
Steven Paul Jobs, if you’re reading this, how about making this an available keyboard option?
From Scott Robbin.
Until next time...
That would be pretty easy to implement… just add a “split” button to the keyboard! Sweet!
Since you have a line to the iGod, you should ask him about implementing that feature. 😉
I totally agree. Compared to iPhone, which I’m so used to, after all these years (!), the ipad keyboard is at best cluncky, in either orientation, contantly misspelling words. All due to the fact that I’m typing with one finger and the keys are too far apart for that. I have never held it on such a way that I type with both hands, like on a keyboard. So, there’s no way to add a control feature for the keyboard inside of the Settings?
Only problem with this configuration is that if the keys are in the corners, it looks like you will have to hold the device by the very corners in order to be able to reach all of the keys, and even then you will have to contort to reach the keys deep in the corners.
Now, if the keys were arranged in arcs, then it could be held as shown and operated with more natural movements of the thumbs.
