Walt Mossberg gives iPad typing a thumbs up
Mark and I developed TapTyping, our typing trainer for the iPad, without ever laying hands on an actual device. This was a pretty big gamble. I mean, what if typing on the iPad just plain sucks? (What if the iPad itself just plain sucks?) The 307 night and weekend hours we poured into the app would be a bust.
So it's great to read Walt Mossberg's review of the iPad. Not only did he give the iPad a great overall review but he gave iPad typing a thumbs up:
I found email easy and productive to use, and had no trouble typing accurately and quickly on the iPad’s wide on-screen keyboard. In fact, I found the iPad virtual keyboard more comfortable and accurate to use than the cramped keyboards and touchpads on many netbooks, though some fast touch typists might disagree. Apple’s $39 iPad case, which bends to set up a nice angle for typing, helps.
We have our fingers crossed that the masses find typing as easy as Walt did.
