#Tablet Keyboards

From the makers of the successful app Swype comes a new on-screen keyboard that will radically change the way we type on our tablets. It does this by utilizing the tablet’s accelerometer which allows the app to detect the sensitivity of the user’s touch input to distinguish the difference between tapping and merely resting the finger on top of the tablet’s display. In fact, Marsden claims that a user can achieve typing speeds of up to 80 words-per-minute with Dryft; a feat that’s almost unheard of when typing on a touchscreen tablet. There are still a lot of Android tablets out on the market, but it’s clear that they’re out of fashion, and Apple has simply been driving more innovation towards their iPads. The box of the iPed Android tablet itself was a poor replica of Apple's iPad with a little Android logo on the sides. Inside the box is the tablet, a regular charger and a USB cable. The manual indicates the tablet runs using a VIA processor @ 300MHz with 128MB RAM. A tipper sent this in this afternoon telling us he's spotted a Chinese Android Tablet in one of the local malls (this is probably the iPed).
