FrogPad's Bluetooth iFrog Reviewed
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 PM
"While no one person can be said to invented the typewriter (Wikipedia entry), in 1867, Christopher Sholes, Carlos Glidden, and Samuel W. Soule introduced a device that later became one of the most popular tools of our age. This new technological marvel, in the end, also brought the world of QWERTY, Dvorak, and even FARWP (FrogPad's top right-hand row) to our fingertips. But ever in need of smaller and more efficient capabilities, the keys either have to get smaller (and more difficult for my sausage-sized fingers to hit) or we have to change technologies to fit the same amount of functions into a more compact area. Which brings us back to FrogPad's Bluetooth iFrog (or FrogPad). A small device that seems to be packed with features. But can it keep up with the QWERTY world? Could this be the next revolution in our input capabilities (especially for those interested in wearable computers)?"
Anything that has the guts to call itself the iFrog gets points in my book. Does moxy alone make a useful device, though? You'll have to read the review to find out. Personal observation: Interesting, but I'd wait for the iFrog2, or perhaps the iToad. :mrgreen:
