Giant iPhone

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:29:13 +0000

Calling the iPad a giant iPhone is such a lazy comparison, it’s obvious that our use of technology will continue to increase and as it does we’ll use it in a variety of ways. Some things benefit from a bigger screen size and with that increase in screen size you lose some portability, with time different devices will find their niches and we’ll use them appropriately. Sure, to start there are very obvious similarities considering the iPad runs (essentially) the same OS and will run (almost) all the same apps, but the inclusion of iWork shows for a start how much more an iPad will be able to do than an iPhone and indeed how multi-touch can be better than the traditional mouse/keyboard interface.

In two or three years time Apple will have refined and improved the interface, figured out how people are using it and how they could use it better and developers will have added loads of extra functionality. The point is that this is the first “tablet” computer that really stands a chance of opening this market up and it’s a great first iteration in my opinion and I’m getting one.

Typing on the iPad

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:12:02 +0000

russianpencil:

The issue of how to input text into the iPad has been a heated discussion both before and after the device was announced. Obviously, without having the tablet in hand, no one knows how easy or cumbersome it will be to enter text. I actually believe that typing in landscape mode, using both hands as on a full size keyboard, will be a perfectly adequate way to enter even lengthy messages. The on screen keyboard in portrait orientation, however, seems inelegant.

In this case the iPhone style keyboard doesn’t scale very gracefully. It sits in an unfortunately middle ground: way too cramped to type with both hands, but too large to be able to comfortably “thumb type.” A simple solution to improve this scenario:

Scale the keyboard down so it’s about the size of the iPhone keyboard in landscape mode, and then split it into two halves. I discovered that this method of input is not without precedent; Gizmodo briefly mentioned a variation of this in their write up a couple weeks ago.

The above mockup is crudely rendered and not as visually appealing, but I have to imagine it would provide for a better typing experience for this orientation. What do you think? As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts @RussianPencil.

This is what I was thinking before the launch, and why I thought they might have some sort of resizable, fingerworks type keyboard
