Silicone iPad Keyboard

Rachel Metz, a technology writer for the Associated Press discusses a new type of keyboard made of silicon that can be used with iPad. I personally avoid using the iPad keyboard whenever I can due to the difficulty of touch-typing without the tactile feedback. Although I am comfortable with using the Apple wireless keyboard that connects via Bluetooth, being able to use a more portable type of keyboard could prove to be quite convenient when on the road or during a commute on the train.

Photos of the keyboard can be found here at Product Design & Development:
