what's up everyone John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo here and I want to give you a demonstration of the on-screen keyboard found on the Apple iPad and show you how easy or difficult it is to type with a lot of productivity tools like pages mail and even notes there are a lot of reasons that you'd want to infinite use to the amount of text so let me show you how this works we'll use notes for this demonstration so in portrait mode you get a standard keyboard looks very familiar to those iPhone and iPod touch users and let's see how easy it is all type of sentence this is me typing on the iPad and see how it works and I'll try and type both fingers and typing like a full keyboard so this is me typing on the iPad I made a few mistakes with the autocorrect took care of it now we'll try typing as I would on a regular keyboard and I will type a message so this is me tip Iggy on the Apple iPad you can see that it is sort of accurate if you want to start touch type it's quite easy because the keys are very large if you want to type like a standard keyboard in portrait mode you may have some difficulty I've only had to just a few hours so I think that's something you'll get used to as use the device now it also has a landscape keyboard which I'll go ahead and show you right now an apple is claiming that this landscape keyboard is almost full size so I've got a full size keeper here for demonstration this is the Apple wireless keyboard go ahead and put it on top and you can see that well it's not quite almost full-size it's decent size to me a bigger than we've seen on the iPhone or the iPod touch but there's still a lot of room so let's go ahead and try another sentence we'll go ahead and type we'll do the typical typing thing the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and I'll try and type it normally as if this was a regular keyboard so the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog pretty quick and pretty easy and again for only having this for two hours I can see this actually getting easier and easier to use the more you have it it's pretty accurate it's very quick and a lot of people were wondering today when on launch day about the keyboard adapter whether then that was going to come out and scrap the dock and the keyboard Apple assay for its end of the month but they also mention that you can pick up Bluetooth keyboards such as this one and pair it up and use it for typing so you may not necessarily need to wait for that to come out however this looks to be a very usable and really nice to type on keyboard I'm actually very surprised about how easy it was to type on the nine point seven inch capacitive touchscreen is very responsive and really typing like an actual keyboard can be done so if you're a student and you want to take notes in class this may actually be a decent option for you and it stay tuned to the video word to the channel for a full coverage two of the pages applications see how typing works in a word document or a Pages document and see what you can customize or not customize anyway guys in John Renton gherkin TechnoBuffalo be sure to stay tuned to the channel and TechnoBuffalo for all of your iPad coverage anyway I will see you in the next video bye-bye
