iPhone with a physical Blackberry QWERTY keyboard?



Typo 2
Typo 2




Typo 2 is an add-on accessory for iPhones. It is a simple case with a physical QWERTY keyboard which looks and feels like a keyboard from a BlackBerry smartphone.

The Typo 2 is available for pre-order and the price is at $99 (approx Rs 6,000).

Typo 2 is an add-on case that fits over the iPhone and makes it easier for typing. Those who upgrade from a BlackBerry handset to an iPhone would love the idea since they would be used to typing on the keyboard and a touch on-screen keyboard would be a clumsy.



Typo 2 was built for efficiency. The founders of the gadget were using two phones, a BlackBerry and an iPhone, one for typing and correspondence and the other for communication. They found it pretty annoying to switch between the two types of keyboards and decided to invent something that could make typing on an iPhone easier and, why not, as easier as a BlackBerry keyboard. Thus came the idea and Typo was born after two years of designing.



The design of the Typo 2 is kept simple, but the goal was to have a keyboard and case that would add the absolute minimum additional length and thickness to the iPhone, while still providing protection to the phone and a butter-smooth, tactile typing experience.

The result is Typo 2, which adds just short of a 1/4 inch in thickness and a less than 3/4 inch in total length to the iPhone.

Typo 2 was made possible by miniaturizing the components on our circuit board, using patented TYPOTouch keyboard technology and one of the world’s smallest Lithium-ion battery, measuring at just 1mm in thickness.

Both the hardware and software for Typo 2 were designed and engineered in California & Utah, manufactured and assembled in China.

    4379790In one of his final acts as head of the upper chamber, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid added to the docket this week the strongest National Security Agency reform bill to come before Congress yet, which could arrive on the floor for a vote by next week.
    Reid took the first steps toward bringing the USA FREEDOM Act to the floor late Wednesday in a surprise move that could spell the end of NSA s bulk collection and storage of American s telephone records.聽
    鈥淭he American people are wondering whether Congress can get anything done,鈥?Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy the bill s chief sponsor in the upper chamber said late Wednesday聽.聽鈥淭he answer is yes.鈥?
    Earlier this summer Leahy described the bill as the most significant reform of government surveillance authorities since Congress passed Chicago Bears Jersey the USA PATRIOT Act 13 years ago, and acknowledged the endorsements of privacy advocates, tech companies and the Obama administration for passage of the bill.
    The Senate version unveiled over the summer follows the lead established by the House earlier this year, ending the sweeping collection of Americans telephone records and moving phone data retention into the Reebok NFL Jerseys hands of service providers, forcing the agency to obtain specific warrants to search for data.聽
    Leahy added additional provisions that require the signals intelligence agency to implement specific terms into search requests. This is in contrast to the House bill, which some argued made it easier for NSA to conduct bulk searches for anyone falling under generic information like ZIP codes.聽
    The bill also adds privacy and civil liberties advocates to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves secret government warrants for searches.
    Further transparency measures give service providers and tech companies more freedom in reporting the number and type of government requests for data they must facilitate, and mandates that the government reveal the number of people swept up in searches 鈥?particularly if they鈥檙e American citizens.
    Passage of the bill came into cheap Denver Broncos Jersey question this fall when Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, expressed concerns over the bill s potential to stifle national security endeavors and make it harder to counter terrorist groups in the Middle East, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.聽
    The bill could face a filibuster from senators opposed, but movement to floor could also open it up for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to propose amendments.
    Whatever fate awaits the bill during the lame-duck session preceding Republicans takeover next year, lawmakers only have until June 2015 to come up with an agreement before they lose all of the expanded surveillance powers provided under the USA PATRIOT Act, which will expire without a renewal vote it s unlikely to receive in a post-Snowden Congress.聽
