On December 13, I got another
package in the mail, but this one is special. This one came from my friend, and
cowriter, in Japan. Thank you to Tsubasa Kato for the Christmas gift! Right
now, I am trying to get used to the keyboard layout. Since the way this is
designed, there is no onscreen keyboard, so you need to use the hardware
keyboard.
I am not quite sure but my
best guess is that the keyboard was designed primarily for thumb use, versus
putting onto a flat surface such as a desk and using your index finger.
Tsubasa, leave a comment about that please. When seeing the keys, and judging
by the way they feel, this is more akin to a laptop than a traditional thumb
keyboard like a Treo or Blackberry would have.
This design reminds me of the
Netwalker, which is also made by Sharp, so that makes sense. I will post some
pictures later when I have a chance to take some.
Yep. Probably it was made for thumb typing use. :)
