TORRANCE, CA, September _, 2008 — TabletKiosk™, a leading manufacturer of Tablet PCs and Ultra-mobile computing solutions continues to improve the slate Tablet PC experience by pre-loading the Eyesboard virtual keyboard on all of its tablets as well as offering it as a free download for existing TabletKiosk Tablet PC and UMPC owners.
The Eyesboard, created by PlazaLOGIC, is an onscreen virtual keyboard, controlled by touch or active digitizer, which allows users to type directly onscreen with their fingers or stylus. With its realistic "3D" styling, multiple language options, easy size adjustment, choice of colors, and onscreen tools, including opacity settings, menu buttons and sound effects, the Eyesboard virtual keyboard can be customized according to each user’s unique needs.
“Given that touch screen kiosks with virtual keyboards are now commonly used in airports and retail stores, today’s tablet owners are more familiar with the idea of on-screen typing,” said Martin Smekal, president of TabletKiosk. “By including the Eyesboard as a standard feature on all of our tablets, we believe that we have greatly improved the overall mobile computing experience.”
To maintain familiarity for users, the Eyesboard virtual keyboard looks and behaves like a traditional computer keyboard with its QWERTY key layout, separate number pad and accessible function keys. To maximize screen real estate, the Eyesboard opacity settings are fully adjustable so that the keyboard is always accessible, even when editing a full size document. In addition, to improve user manageability, the Eyesboard virtual keyboard appears at system Start Up for input of log-in passwords with restricted functionality to maintain system security. “
Using the Eyesboard keyboard for onscreen typing absolutely improves the functionality of our Sahara Slate PC® and eo™ Ultra-Mobile PC,” said Martin Smekal. “The Eyesboard is the perfect complement to the slate Tablet PC form factor because it provides an extremely familiar method of entering text without adding extra components or weight.”
