Scott Robbin’s iPad Split Keyboard

I’d like something like this, although I think it’d be more useful in portrait mode than landscape. At least in landscape you can comfortably type with all of your fingers. The portrait keyboard is in a no-man’s land — too small for using all your fingers, too big for just your thumbs. Dan Provost suggested something similar on January 30.

Update: Just noticed that Robbin’s post was from January as well. All I can say is that in practice, iPad in hand, these ideas seem even better now than they did in January.
