Request My Proposal to Developers. Better typing and device experience

vicinc · 04-16-2010, 09:21 PM

I just ordered one EE and waiting for a friend to ship it to UK. I had researched a lot and decided to go for this instead of an Ipad.
The main reason I choose this is the e-ink and the android OS.
The main problem of this device is I think is missing a proper keyboard in landscape mode. I suggest to get something developed like in MSI prototype.

either to have a black and white keyboard on the e ink screen or a color screen keyboard in landscape mode and write on the black and white. this will be of great help for students and writers. No other device will be needed.

I would love to see a keyboard that would appear in landscape mode on e-ink side. Problem is - the e-ink side only recognizes stylus, so I don't know how useful that will be.

Using the LCD keyboard to type on e-ink would be nice, although I have my issues with the virtual keyboard on the LCD. Also, this is another reason to have e-ink side rotate to landscape...
