All about multimedia : Kensington KeyFolio Bluetooth Keyboard and Case for iPad

When iPad first came out, there was much speculation as to whether it could replace a full laptop. However, many have realized that without a keyboard, it was difficult to type longer documents. Enter Kensington KeyFolio, a keyboard, a built-in Bluetooth iPad case. Can this $ 99 accessory allows you to leave your laptop behind?Design

From the outside, the KeyFolio resembles an elegant iPad case - which in fact is. It is made of black faux leather with white stitching. Flip over the cover and reveal your second function as a wireless keyboard.
The keyboard is covered in a rubber membrane that protects against spills and prevents the screen from being scratched. A few ridges above the keyboard lets you adjust the angle of the iPad, but in doing so, covers the Assign button. There is no way to ensure the iPad the keyboard so that KeyFolio be used on a flat surface such as an office; its place in our arms the iPad caused to fall backwards.
The case weighs just over £ 1, which is the light in the grand scheme of things, but when combined with the iPad 1,5-pounds, this combo weighs almost as much as the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM.Performance
Pairing KeyFolio the iPad was easy. Simply turn the keyboard (there is a small switch on the right hand over the keys) and press the Connect button on the big top. A message will appear asking you to enter a code on the keypad to complete the pairing.
The keyboard on the KeyFolio is about the same size as what you find on a netbook. However, it is almost as good as, say, the Toshiba NB305 Mini. The rubber membrane was soft to the touch, and in general, we found the keys to response. In fact, it was pretty much meets; We've found that often the wrong type the same letter twice in a row until you understand exactly how much pressure must be applied.
We found the KeyFolio, such as early keyboards netbook, is slightly irregular. For example, to make room for darts, there is no right button Shift. (For touch typists, this is a dealbreaker there.) Also, the bid button is not in the usual place between L and Enter - only key to the colon there. Until we achieve that, we were writing things like "I? M» instead if "I".
However, as it reversed Kensington function keys; In other words, media controls and volume can be accessed without having to press Fn. Also, the F5 key can be used to display the on-screen keyboard, which is nice when you do not want to use Kensington
KeyFolio The battery is rated to last 90 hours; This is a lot of typing. When - or if - run low, you can recharge using the microUSB port on the side.Verdict
The idea that you can only get a tablet with you on business trips is a heady one, as it will release the weight and space in your carry-on. The $ 99 Kensington KeyFolio make this dream a reality. However, misplaced keys on the keyboard (and missing the right key Shift), the inability to use it safely in his arms, and hypersensitivity is a real turn-off. The KeyFolio is certainly better than nothing, but you may want to wait until something better comes along.
