First hands-on Snapkeys keyless keyboard ,Okay, we admit, we were taken in by the video on Snapkey's web site showing the keyboard in action before its inner workings were revealed at CTIA 2011. The system is actually fairly basic: you can find four boxes to tap for letters -- plus backspace and space -- and each and every represents a kind of letter. Leading left includes letters with one point that touches down like "i," bottom left includes closed letters including "d," leading appropriate includes letters with two points on the bottom, and bottom proper curved and letters with a flat base. Sounds basic? it is, or kinda. Obviously there's a learning curve, in essence you have to rethink the way you type; as we instantly discovered we had to pay more attention to the letters in words, or at least the shape of them. The system we were shown was running on a jailbroken iPad, but we were told it could possibly be moved to just about any platform. Is it as revolutionary as the buzz suggests? We're not entirely sure but hope to learn soon with a trial in our labs. Follow on for a video of our grade school assistant Jonathan giving us a tour.First hands-on Snapkeys keyless keyboard
