Typing on the iPad: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

[TheFelix1O]

This nigga is funny lmfaooooooooooo

[xploitasian]

Learn to type, lol

[BarriosGroupie]

I doubt you can touch type properly on a real Qwerty keyboard

[SuperChooie]

yeah what about typing using the qwerty method? I just can't really imagine what that would be like on the ipad...

[XxDurrHurrDurrxX]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

[DiyaraShah]

haahha, the asshole types the same way everytime. would he be able to type without looking at the osk ?

[AuroraRaye]

The way he types drives me batty! He doesn't use all of his fingers WTF MAN

[siseo05]

How does it work ACTUALLY typing like on a regular keyboard, then? Like, with all your fingers on the proper keys? The size is about right, but does it feel natural?

[Apoc897]

Can it work with an auxiliary keyboard, like a portable roll-up one?

[wadejlong]

you have no concept of home keys. you're two finger typing looks alienesque.

[XerkDaniels]

It "jumps over" if you type jumped you miss the s in the alphabet.

[austindenny]

you type like my great grandmother, who died in 1934. and never typed a sentence in her life. you're terrible.

[MrJoedf]

@austindenny Uh...WHAT?

[mountveggie]

sorry but... "regular" typing means at least 8 fingers + 1 (if not both) thumb(s). ;)

[vuxta0]

it is full size, just look at the actual keys

[blonde198821]

Great video Jon. I am thinking about getting the ipad but do you still recommend it to an every day user?

[Anton4488]

Usually, people do NOT type on physical keyboard the way you showed here on 2:15. This is ridiculous.

[NosferatuAaacaado]

lol, what an idiot argument about it not being full size.

[qt247ha]

er... you don't know how to type on a keyboard. sorry.

[MrJimbo4444]

Do you always type with 4 fingers?

[Bluebird2731]

But he's NOT typing like a regular keyboard. Watch when he does the "quick brown fox" exercise, he hits the Q and Z with his index finger. I'd like to see how it works the "regular" way.

[seeyousaturday]

even though the keyboard is almost the same size as normal keyboards it just doesnt have the feeling and response when u typed on a hard physical keyboard.

bottom line is, ipad is a fun an interesting way to play and interract with your games, but when it comes down to some hardcore games and documents, nothing beats the old and reliable laptop and computers. just saying :)

[videogamegod88]

That looks like a pain in the ass, and slow to boot. I can easily type 60+ words a minute on my netbook keyboard.

[ishouldplayzelda]

i fucking hate typing on a touch screen i need actual tactile buttons that physically respond to me pressing them down. i will never enjoy typing on the ipad

[JordanYippee]

you say "I will now type as if it was a real keyboard" but then you just type with your index fingers... if that's how you type normally, I feel sorry for you.

[edwardmoffet]

He never typed like he was typing on a keyboard. He never once used his pinkys he only used his first three fingers. still though, looks alright to type on, no reason you can't use a bluetooth keyboard if you're really going to do some intense typing.

[ramasart10]

I LOL'd at "take notes in class"

[pieries]

@ramasart10

i'm a grad student considering buying this to type dictation/notes in class....any one had problems with the product typing-wise?

[joelioes]

Whats the different between you type with 2 fingers and 'type like it a keyboard' ???

I had to rewatch this vid just to make sure im not high..lol

[Luvzcutekitties]

sorry I mean get the i pad it you want.

[Luvzcutekitties]

BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys are all sheeps bahhhhh get the Motorolla tablet xoom it better B E T E R .......

[100afff]

hahahaha my uncle just bought me an ipad as a xmas gift !! i really love him now :D with all my heart !! loool its pretty cool btw :D

[jeffreysyang]

@100afff

gold digger...

[MetalShreader]

I can do about 70 words a minute on the ipad. FASTER THEN ON MY PC!

[pieries]

@MetalShreader

is it really easy? this will be my main buying/selling point!

[opyimistprime]

jonny boy, enough with the ipad already. another video about this, i'll take that ipad and shove it up your ass...

[Snickerbockers]

gimmie ur ipad nd ill tell you -.- nd ill rate it ^_^

[masteircheef]

if someone gives me an ipad i will <3 them forever

[JackDooner]

I type faster on my iPad than on my laptop, weird, I know :O

[shevdog123]

I don't see the difference between the two ways you typed

[sharkman081490]

Where did you learn to type?

[videoctavio]

you obviously don't know how to type with all your fingers.

[Hawkfeather1]

the ipad does have a full size keyboard but it leaves out the function keys and the arrow keys because they aren't necessary

[chinotan0628]

it's jumps not jumped ho ho ho :> informative videosss i'm subscribing

[veryhappyemo00]

146 people don't like puppies :(

[chicagoman617]

Did you get used to the keyboard?

[domodomo43]

size of the keyboard is about the same size if you just take out shift ,caps lock, tab,and etc

[raulpoli1994]

if you buy a wireless keyboard and you want to type someting... does the keyboard on the screen still appear?

[domodomo43]

you should ask the people on apple website theres a chat button where you can ask any kinds questions next to there number

[Tarik4love]

you are using .. 4 fingers ...

how about using 8 fingers .. ?? is it easy ?

[brentjames24]

i find it funny how he says he is going to type with a couple of fingers then type normally with all fingers- then he types and both methods are the same

he cant type properly you only use 3 fingers on 1 hand

like the other person said invest in some practice.

[grindmeupputa]

you slaughtered the typing bro. invest in some practice

[ileese]

I saved a puppy! 

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

In your title - After ''Bad'', there shouldn't be a comma ;) Otherwise good vid!

[TheCarltonn]

if you compare the letters only and remove the shift arrows bla bla.. yes its pretty the same size

[caneytaneywaney5]

I'm sorry, but you demonstrated with two fingers then you said "I will type like on a normal keyboard" but you typed exactly the same as the two fingers -.- Now idk if this is compatible with all 10 fingers

[Nilgard]

Stop typing like a norwegian fisherman who never saw a keyboard before.

[caneytaneywaney5]

@Nilgard LOL

[MCJAILBREAKER]

143 hate puppies !!!!!!!

[TheRealIntrepid]

I still dont understand why that can be usefull everything that apple creates equal to overpriced sh*t in a gold plate. The ipod is the only usefull(but highly overpirced)thing that apple have.The iPhone is an overpriced totally bad phone with the worst support you can get(if something happens with it nobody and i mean nobody going to repair it only for a huge price) but still atleast you can use it as a phone, but the ipad i cant find a practical way to use it.

[bouchandre]

@TheRealIntrepid Why are you saying that apple product are overpriced? There are not. It's because everythins is made to be simple, everything (hardware, software) is made to work really well together, Apple got the best desing team in the world and you know that what you are gonna get is really good quality. For example they always use in each of their products the best display they can find, not some poor ones that would make the product cheaper. I don't have anything else to say.

[TheRealIntrepid]

@bouchandre A few months ago i was about to buy a laptop my friend have a macbook he suggested me to buy one than i went to some place to get info now i have the same hardware with much better software for 30% less price. Or other example my friend had an iPhone 3gs and its started to brake on the back plate(factory error)and to repair it he needed to pay 80€ + 50€ to the guy because nobody repair apple stuff.

[bouchandre]

@TheRealIntrepid probably where you live it's overpriced but me the iPhone 4 is like 200$ and a macbook pro starts at 1250

[TheRealIntrepid]

@bouchandre yeah if you live in the USA yes the 16GB iphone is 200$ everywhere else it has so huge price that you cant even pay it from 1 month salary but its okay since everyone know that apple marketing is the worst of all :P

[bouchandre]

@TheRealIntrepid I don'y live in the usa I live in canada. And it's weird because on the apple website the iphone 4 is 549$ and in the local store it is like 159$

[TheRealIntrepid]

@bouchandre Indeed its weird i guess thats just a problem in some countrys because for example here(hungary) ipad starts from 800$ and iphone 3gs is 800 too and an iphone4 is 1400$ and for that much money IN hungary idk about other countrys its useless to buy anything from apple. 200$ is a realistic price considering how crappy their stuff is but the prices here are huge...

[janson540]

@TheRealIntrepid this is because other countries dont have contracts when they get a phone. If I bought an iphone 4 with no contract in america, it would be 800$

[TheRealIntrepid]

@janson540 exactly and comparing with any other phone in that price range the iphone suck and thats the key the only adventage apple have over other things in the same price range is a design which is absolutely tastes...some says great some says ugly so... :)

[mastersword131]

learn to use your other fingers much faster then only your index

[TheAtheneanTube]

ugly

[suzanamarieXD]

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy daaaawg!

[madpolo88]

Do you only use ur index fingers to type.

[oliwhittell]

the keys are the same size! if it included all the same keys the ipad would be to big!

[brendabu2007]

fuck you mann ur such a noob go such a dick

[boardiee]

it is a really easy way to type if you think it is hard you are noob

[TylerJWainwright]

you know you can type by using a mac keyboard right, just connect by bluetooth

[boardiee]

@TylerJWainwright yeah i am aware but having it on your lap to type is easier its nice to just do you quick homework or im. When i do have a longer essay i would probably start using the keyboard

[MrKingehab]

youuu suckk

[Leader509]

I wish i had a ipad

[YoYa8d]

if someone gives my ipad i will subscribe him :DD LOL

[Junije1]

@YoYa8d :DDDDDD me too

[3dlambert]

@YoYa8d if 18 idiots will give us an iPad264gb 3G We will subscribe them

[petpillow]

fuck i just got use to typing with my thumbs on my ipod touch now this shit

im gonna fucking shoot myself in the head

[ZeizeTheDay]

can you give me the ipad please???

[meyer3738]

If you take just the letters on the keyboard and not all the extras like control, enter, and all that stuff, it is just about the same size. Pause it at 1:51 and you will see what I'm talking about. Actually, I would say it is the same size as a normal keyboard.. everyone is just looking at the whole keyboard itself, not just the actualy keys with the letters on them.

[Blak3Siik]

@meyer3738 Just what I was thinking...

[HUMMER7O5]

@meyer3738 then again mac keyboards kinda suck compared to a normal keyboard, but i did notice what you said while i was watching it, good eye

[FabiTrolli]

@meyer3738 i think the ipad keyboard even looks a bit bigger.

[100DUE]

@meyer3738 Ur Totally Right. And by the way the extras, you dont need them that much. If u do, just click the thingy the iphone and ipad has. and numbers n such.

[AnisB786]

@meyer3738 I was thinking the same thing, it actually looks like (tell me if i'm wrong) but the keys on the ipad looker bigger than the keys on the computer keyboard.

[kakafazal]

I LOVE IPAD I WENTTT IPAD :(

[frankymasino]

@kakafazal you went ipad ?

[XxGeorgeGinaxX]

i tried out the ipad keyboard in the apple shop and i thought it was really easy and doesn't accidently type up the wrong key like on the ipod touch (if tht makes any sense -.-')

[TheBanannaPhone]

great job dude!

[1superalex]

I tried it & I will admit that it's easier than my iPhone 3G's keyboard

[guineapiglover2000]

good

[daoping]

That's not how you type on a regular keyboard...

And you did the same on the first and second time.

And not all the buttons are on the iPad. I think the iPad's keyboard is quite full size.

[skam1]

i think i would rather spend my money on a laptop.. 64gb + 3g for £700 well over priced for what you get in return..

[ryanterrence]

You don't know how to type lol

[denisecarruth]

I kinda like it

[rtownz251251]

well you can use a bluetooth keyboard but that will drain your iPad's battery life and the iPad keyboard charges your iPad so that's a pretty big difference as well but it is the same if you don't think about that and anyways the iPad onscreen keyboad IS pretty much the same size ;)

[pufixas]

Ugly

[eldewen]

I wish this vid could be more informative, but you ain't typin correctly!  back to mavis beacon for you!

[cyberpuddy]

Sorry, but I've got to give this video a "thumbs down" for reasons two other commenters pointed to: first, the iPad landscape keyboard is virtually the same size as a full-size keyboard measured Q-to-P; second, the typist in the video does not use his ring and pinky fingers when he types "like [the iPad is] an actual keyboard". Because he uses primarily his index and middle fingers, it suggests that the keyboard is too small to use "like an actual keyboard." So, the video lacks credibility.

[E34BMW535i]

it would suck taking notes on this. you have to keep your hands lifted and can't rest your fingers on the keys. not to mention you can't even feel the keys to begin with

[xXxja196xXx]

i can type all that in like 6 seconds

[fairboy13]

you bastards dont wanna save puppies and/or dogs?? you sick bastards missed the like button!! you sick asshole with no souls... i might as'well call you gingers!! sick bastards!

[ChrisJ2F]

@fairboy13 lol.... its ok Man i Did thumbs Up

[fairboy13]

@ChrisJ2F LMFAO

[cheifrazorback]

2:24 transcribe audio, the democrats want to know really got pretty quickly began for 2 hours

[abvmoose87]

Stupid question maybe but generally how much storeage memory does apps take?

I havent used iphone or ipad before so I have no idea but I want to get a ipad now.

Cand only afford the 16gb version. Is to small if i want to have lots of apps but i wont have any movies or music on it?

[iodyn]

@abvmoose87 from 1megs to 80megs... videos and a big collection of mp3s will take more memory than your average app collection.

I have the 16gigs version and if you stream videos or rent them and use keep less than 500 songs you wont need more storage. I strongly recommend the ipad. Typing is better than you can imagine too.

3 months after release i had to do 3 future shops to buy an open box one because apple store had a 10 to 20 day waiting list !

[coolkittenwinx]

i would never choose to take notes on that in class... that notepad is no microsoft word lol

[TheLiquidlives]

@coolkittenwinx there's iwork for the ipad, i think

[MRA9700]

@TheLiquidlives there's iWork for the iPad (sold as separate apps on the store for i think $9.99

[tuskenraider20]

Looking forward to getting an iPad in July. I'm very excited and it's funny that more I browse around YouTube, I find more things that make me buy it and at the same time more haters that say it sucks... But as far as I know, it does not suck.

[crrpatton50]

you dont know how to fucking type.. you suck at this review

[jonahkwok]

Why don't you type with all 10 fingers?

[salaschristian]

My point exactly! Look at the Z and the M. Even the space bar!

[chewbuggars]

you type like a fag, use all your fingers, not just the ones you put in your pooper

[brexruls]

@chewbuggars wow, i never realized that now instead of actually being homosexual, you can be a fag for typing weird. You are a fucking idiot.

[chewbuggars]

@brexruls i never says you were homosex, but thanks for letting me knows you are homosex, good luck with PMS fag

[brexruls]

@chewbuggars What the fuck are you talking about kid? You have got to be the stupidest person i have ever talked to online.

[chewbuggars]

@brexruls you are gay; therefores, your comment is invalid.

[brexruls]

@chewbuggars Exactly why little punk ass kids shouldn't be aloud on the internet. It's too bad stupidity isn't painful, you would be in fucking hell.

[chewbuggars]

@brexruls exactly why fags should burn in hell, even the bible says so

[chewbuggars]

@brexruls fag

[Aussiegirl265]

You should really learn how to touch type. It'll save you so much time and you can keep typing even if you look away.

[iheartapple1023]

Really good review!!!

[brawnyBODY]

really? i thought the ipad was bigger then the iphone is it not?????

bitch its not the same

[n305]

You type like a noob, using mostly your index fingers.

[Purifiedinfire]

@n305 That's what I thought when he typed "the normal keyboard way"

[smirko]

@n305 HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH­AHAH

[lauralima2007]

@n305 haha yes, he only type with three fingers, like a kid

[ferdia6]

stop saying go ahead

FUCK!!

[xKuyaEx]

What the fuck was that? "Type the way I would on a regular keyboard"? Bro, you were only using two fingers, while your other three looked retarded floating around.

[RowlexEnterprise]

if you type fast, will the keyboard freeze a lil bit??

[santufay]

iPad is basically a big version of the iTouch. If you want something more portable, then get a iTouch. But otherwise, you should get a iPad.

[santufay]

Hmm... iPad or iTouch... Hard to decide... Maybe I'll get a iTouch...

[gehli003]

Yeah, steve was right.."it is a dream to type on." what a load of crap. For that price, I think I will get a nice laptop, money is too tight right now to waste it on a fad. I will admit it is way better than the other eReaders if you are in it for that market.

[wg55555]

The Keyboard letters are actually the same size...the actual keyboard is bigger cos theres extra buttons...

[apollo33]

"now i'll type like i would on a regular keyboard" - LOL

[pavelbure007]

OMG the way you type you must be 70 years old otherwise you are a drop out after grade 9

[HD6314]

@TheBlackParadeRulez Yes, you can :)

[Matt0u812]

Dude... before you do a typing demo, you should learn how to type on normal keyboard and actually use all your fingers.

[imaman67]

is ' the quick brown fox JUMPS ( not jumped) then you would have no s

[gofightlose]

um, your two finger typing is not regular typing. but thanks for the review. I think the more you use it the easier it gets, but it definitely does not compare to a real physical keyboard.

[SuperLollerz]

I am a little nervous about typing on it, I am not good with touch screens.

[rubiks15]

@SuperLollerz

If you are a good typer on a normal key boad it should not be that bad. You just have to type with your fingers tips not the "fingerprint" portion of your fingers. There is a typing app to help you type faster, but I can't remember the name.

[TheBlackParadeRulez]

Can you put Microsoft Word documents from your computer onto the Pages app on the iPad?

[truckcompany]

This guy doesn't type properly. I guess ill find another video that does.

[kcheng888]

it looks about the same size keyboard looking only at the alpha letters

[janbananajr2]

The letters where full size butt alot of the buttons is not there

[bmanjuice]

I can't wait til next month so I can get my ipad

[BL0cB0i]

this guy suxz

[xPsychonaughtx]

@BL0cB0i No sir, I believe it is you who sucks

[TearsOfWar1]

It looks like the best thing to type on for a touch screen :-)

[Sodoradventures]

I have a question?

can you use that keyboard paired to both ipad and imac, or just one?

[develupa]

you may as well just use a laptop if you're going to be typing a lot
