iPad gets Split keyboard with IOS 5


I am not exactly the most active user of the iPad, since i do not own a tablet from Apple. But whenever I find myself playing with one of the iPad, question the size of the keyboard, especially when the apparatus is horizontal comes in my mind. During the opening keynote to WWDC 2011, this afternoon, Apple introduced a seemingly simple function that increases my desire to have an iPad.


Taking advantage of multitouch gestures, the company demonstrated how the keyboard when the iPad the swipe gesture is fired with four fingers simultaneously. The keyboard is split in two, as you can see in the image below.

You may even find that this implementation is a beast. However, the new virtual keyboard layout iPad has everything to please the people who spend too much time typing on mobile devices - I! Since the iPad screen is too large, it's tiring to the hands go from one point to another display to touch the keys further apart. With this implementation, it ends.

Despite what the picture suggests, this keyboard works well with IPAD horizontally and vertically.

The new keyboard layout iPad will be released along with the IOS 5, the next version of Apple's mobile platform. Although there is no exact date for that to happen, but the company is saying that the new IOS is due in August or September 2011.
