Kent:

Here is an observation about the BT keyboard, specifically the iGo 4-row board. I like the feel but have yet to 'accept' the layout and completly miss the 5th row with numbers.

An example of the issue I find frustrating with the numbers. To access the numbers you use the green FN key (left of the dual spacebars) in combination with the number you want on the top row of keys. But the frustration I have is the numbers on the right side work great but to access the numbers on the left you must still use the same FN key on the left side of the keyboard. In other words it is very counter intuitive to anyone who touch types. My first instinct is to go for the FN button on the right side of the space bars with my right hand while my left goes after the number. But instead I have to reach across with my right hand. Believe it or not, it feels more awkward then my convoluted explaination.

The trade off is the 4-row board is thinner and said to feel more solid on uneven surfaces like a pillow or the bed...I am going to give this one a few weeks to get more used to the way it works but I am really have zero feel for it. I find I have to watch my hands as I type...well, for that I might just as well hunt and peck with the onscreen thumb board or smaller one screen KB. But we'll see...
