Tablets like the iPad are quickly sneaking up on laptops as the preferred device for surfing the web while traveling. But one of the biggest drawbacks to the functionality of the iPad is its lack of a real keyboard. Typing anything longer than a Facebook status or a Tweet on your iPad can seem frustrating.

We just love to see Chinese workers taking a stand against long hours of working and poor working conditions.

The bike in this photo has a keyboard and screen attached to the handlebar… The whole thing looks very impressive, but if I’m the owner of the geeky bike, I will add an iPad to it. Closer look at the bike after the jump.
Still remember the Asus Eee Pad Transformer that has an optional keyboard dock to turn itself into a full-fledged notebook? It’s a pretty awesome Honeycomb tablet, and today, it gets ripped off by the Chinese knockoff makers. Introducing Trustime, a 10.1″ tablet that runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb and has an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. It has similar guts to the Transformer — widescreen (1280 x 800) display, 1GB of memory, and dual cameras (1.2MP and 5MP). The difference? It does not transform with a keyboard dock. More pics after the break.
Virtual keyboard is the way to enable typing on a mobile phone while preserving a large display for browsing. The iPhone which released in 2007, ushered in virtual keyboards as the default for smartphones. Since then, physical keyboards are fading out (may be not for those Blackberry die-hard users). In China, a physical keyboard is still essential to the user experience of any mobile device. A poorly designed virtual keyboard can affected user experience when it comes to typing. SmartKeyboard is a conceptual design aimed at those users who want a light-weight physical keyboard on their iPhone. Click in to watch the concept video, we definitely think Apple should have produced this!

It is something that may turn your iPad into a “MacBook Air”. People seem to love it, but we don’t think so when we received an email from a gadget girl. This girl wants a white keyboard. We hear that, and today, we present you the white aluminum keyboard case. It is fashionable and we think girls would love it. Watch an ad after the break.
