A Real Keyboard for iPads
|
Sometimes the virtual keyboard on your iPad isn't as useful as it might be. Hooking up a real keyboard (even a wireless one) can be cumbersome.
A company called M.I.C Store (no, the missing period after the C is not a typo) and evidently located in China sells a keyboard that essentially turns an iPad into a Mac Air-like laptop. It's good for people who don't like manipulating the on-screen keyboard and might need to type something that needs maximal screen real estate -- a long paper or report, for instance.
A huge plus is the price. At $49.99 it is not much more expensive than most conventional wireless keyboards, so the "Apple tax" is less onerous here. M.I.C claims it doesn't sell "knockoff' products, but it isn't clear if this is a licensed Apple item.
