The iTypewriter turns your iPad into a typewriter!
« on: September 12, 2012, 10:23:25 AM »
Essentially this is a device that you place your iPad into and it allows you to type on a firmer, old-style typewriter keyboard:

If you were on the fence maybe this could have changed you into the world of iPad users!

Fence-sitting is very uncomfortable and not a little dangerous, especially if the fence is to keep a bull in a certain area. It would take more than a keyboard to change that... Thinking.gif

I also saw one somewhere that was an "OLD"!!  Royal maybe??  All black with the open key well and keys.... very authentic looking and when you typed it gave off the old-timey sound of the keys hitting paper and the carriage return bell..  Thought of RHP...

We have one of those old open keyed typewriters in the basement. No ribbon though.

Not so sure the surface of the iPad would be too happy if someone really pounded on those keys. dry.gif

I think one of the details pictures shows little suction cups that make the contact; should be softer than our fingers I would think!
