Or you could just get a netbook.
Because those are so much easier to type on while standing?

#22I only hunt-peck when I am standing up... otherwise I have no trouble setting the iPad on my lap, and typing as if it were a normal keyboard
head hunched over staring at your lap? :/ I can't see that being comfy for long.
Why would you be hunched over? I have no problems with using mine that way.

Typing on one now, the iPad is at at angle so i am not hunched over. I wouldn't want to write a novel, but it's fine for comments. I have a netbook as well and it's about the same frustration level (being able to see the iPad's keys gives it an edge at the moment as it's dark in the room).

#24Hey, let's just buy another iPad and use that as the other keyboard!

#25In Android, you can write custom method input providers. It'll be an easy concept to realize once the Android tablets started getting released. Maybe the Android slogan should be "there's an API for that" :)
Custom input views were added to iPhone OS 3.2, so someone could do this for iPad. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKi...
But that means you can only do it for your own apps right not the entire OS like android?

Yeah, it’s just for your own app.

I'm actually surprised this concept isn't in the works. A nice multi-touch display for looking, with a nice multi-touch reconfigurable display for typing and other stuff would be great.
Re: Concept: iPad Split Keyboard
#29Yet another reason why the ipad form factor isn't as good as a netbook.
Yes, because a netbook is so much easier to type on while holding it up with both hands...
