You can either carry around a supply of disinfectant sprays and wipes, or…carry your own personal Ekapad. You'll never have to touch an unknown keyboard again!http://www.bbc.co.uk/northamptonshire/content/articles/2008/04/29/computer_keyboard_feature.shtmlRichard Appleyardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12074937822303252127noreply@blogger.com40tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631965818296250154.post-12546322922169367842007-07-03T15:51:00.000-07:002008-05-03T13:08:08.370-07:00Using EkaPad with music notation programOkay, I think this was the coolest thing ever...I was transcribing a piece of music into Finale, and using the EkaPad as a number pad. The entry went twice as fast as usual, without me having to constantly work back between my piano and the laptop keyboard. This is going to save me tons of time over the long term. I'm looking forward to making more discoveries of working with music notation Allison Wils-Kingnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631965818296250154.post-79278647041043752312007-04-24T12:40:00.000-07:002007-06-16T16:51:07.406-07:00So close...and yet so far - a phone with an MP3 player on the backSamsung has released its Upstage II phone that has a really elegant integration of a cellphone and mp3 player.Now if only the EkaPad keypad could be integrated with a device similar to this, you could have full text entry and navigation capability.

Everything from a roll-up keyboard (flexible plastic), virtual laser keyboard (projected onto the desk), a wrist keyboard (a pretty kludgy portable QWERTY keyboard strapped to the forearm), a keyless keyboard (OrbiTouch uses two domes with eight positions).UnfortunatelyRichard Appleyardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12074937822303252127noreply@blogger.com1
