Comment on TouchFire: Finally a real keyboard for the iPad

Comments

The comments here so far seem oddly negative. This looks really amazing. I mostly program in screen sessions on servers, and I've so wanted to use the iPad to do this. Unfortunately, you either have to carry a separate keyboard everywhere--defeating the point of the svelte iPad--or use the on screen keyboard, which drastically reduces my accurate typing speed. I wouldn't have believed it were possible, but this addresses all my annoyances.

I think it really depends. In most use cases, taking a seperate keyboard with you is not that annoying, and given the big constraints that this add-on imposes, it might be worth the costs? dont you think it would be nice if you could use the screen session with the whole screen estate?
