Little fingers are a BIG help with iPad.

[trof]

I'm posting from one now.
I'm getting used to the virtual keyboard.
And getting better at it.

I don't have large hands or fingers, but hitting the 'right' clicky thingy is a problem.
And I keep reaching for the mouse.

1. The eraser end of a pencil helps.

They even make little tools with a similar design that you can buy.

2. I haven't been able

to master regular keyboarding on my iPad. Have to use a stylus.

One benefit is that my screen stays clean longer even though I have the iPad itself in one of those "Otterbox" covers. But the plastic screen cover still gets pretty filthy with finger oils otherwise.

3. I use my thumbs.

But I much prefer posting from a pc with a real keyboard.

4. I would be hopeless...

my nails get in the way.... Texting on my iPhone makes me crazy!

5. I keep thinking of reaching for the trackpad, not the mouse.

Then I remember the whole thing is a trackpad.

You can pair a bluetooth keyboard to your iPad, fyi.

6. Still learning about the one I have...

but you can turn an Ipad onto its long side and get a bigger keypad.

7. Isn't that virtual keyboard a little to hard to use while in bed or on the toilet?

I've only seen pictures of it, but it looks like you need a really flat surface for it to project onto.

8. It's the one that appears on the iPad.

9. Oh. I thought you meant the projected one that reads your hand movements.

The XBox has a similar movement reader. One of the games involves manipulating a raft by using body movements and it's pretty good if you're far enough away. Up close doesn't register well. But it reminds me of the scene from "Back To The Future II" where Marty does some old west shoot-up game in the soda shop and the two kids are amazed that you actually have to use your hands to play it. The technology is definitely there, but I'm not sure about the convenience. I don't even like using touch-screens at the ATM or RedBox. My mini (10 and change inch screen) has an under-sized keyboard, but I've gotten screaming fast on it. I still prefer a big-ol' full-size keyboard. Bluetooth is nice - works like a laptop, acts like a desktop, no wires.

10. A stylus helps but really it isnthenworsttmkeybostar fiev
