The Mini Keyboard and Why it is Crucial
Yesterday I talked about how pen and paper can help you survive without access to a computer. But aside from that old-school solution, which we should never stop using anyway, certain gadgets make it possible to do work on-the-go. Particularly if you have to write something.
As the editor for The Smart PDA, I’ve written about many different smartphones and PDAs. And one kind of feature I really find useful is the thumbboard. With the smaller version of the keyboard you usually see on computers, typing in lots of text becomes so much easier.
There are many gadgets out there with thumbboards. A few months ago a boss asked for my advice regarding which gadget would be perfect for his business lifestyle. And even if I don’t agree with his final choice, the Samsung SCH-i730 is still a great smartphone because of the mini keyboard that slides out from the button. Whenever he has to type out a document, and can’t access a computer, he could probably do it on his Samsung.
In short, if you’re looking to get a smartphone or PDA, I suggest you get one that features a thumbboard that makes inputting text easy. You’ll find that this trait lets you get work done while away from a computer. And the best part is, instead of having type everything in once you return to a computer, you can just copy the data stored on the gadget and use it right away.
