Bleeding Edge TV 392: Belkin Bluetooth Keyboard Folio for iPad 2

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Accessories, Cell Phones, Features, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos,

We chat with Belkin about their Keyboard Folio in this episode, shot at GDGT Seattle 2011. The Belkin Keyboard Folio is a Bluetooth iPad 2 keyboard that folds into a case. The keys are TruType, which means that they aren't mushy like a lot of other iPad keyboards, and instead feel like real laptop keys. When you're done, the keyboard tucks away, and the folio acts as a protective case. It also has adjustable angles to maximize viewing and typing modes. You can grab one for $99.
