iTwinge: Another Reason to Laugh at the iPhone
Ok, on the top of the “how pathetic is this” scale, I saw today that there is a new contraption for iPhone owners to help them with their typing accuracy. The source of this humor is the iTwinge by Mobile Mechatronics. The iTwinge is a plastic sleeve that has a rubber keyboard built-in and you use it by sliding your iPhone into the thing and wham you have a, oh yeah BlackBerry.
The company bills this monstrosity as a “transitory” product for users of other smartphones (hmm, BlackBerry?) that want to convert to the iPhone. They go on to claim that on average it will improve typing speed by 30-40% and reduce typing errors by 70-80%.
So let me get this straight, iPhone users without this BlackBerry style keyboard make 70-80% more errors? Heck I’ve got an even better solution that the iTwinge, how about replacing the pretend smartphone and buy a real BlackBerry.
Personally I would have named it iCringe.
