  • I have a iPod touch I am getting used to typing fast on it and I can't wait till I get iPad this April I will like it more cause the screen is way bigger to type on.

  • @salvadorr25 exactly the same case here.

  • oO

  • Comparing this to my typing on both the Mac and the iPad, he is a genius lol

  • thumbs up!

  • HOW the hell is this on ign?

  • This is pretty pointless. He's been typing on an external keyboard for years, and the iPad for a day. Typing on the virtual keyboard takes practice but once you get it down it is just as fast on an external. I've had this iPad for a few weeks, type 120wpm on an external and 95 on the virtual. But I've been typing on externals since elementary school, I suspect I'll get up to 120 on the virtual after more practice. Auto corrections DO make things go faster btw.

  • lol editors and big words.

  • however, the iPad has the best touch screen, including all the stuff like multigesting or just touching the display...you won't find anything better nowadays ;)

  • It was unfair, because when he typed on the notebook, he heard that text in the first time, and when he typed on the ipad, he typed the same text... in the second time... Nevertheless the ipad lost the battle...

    I think nobody can type with 10 fingers on ipad, becauese its virtual keyboard is too small. This reduces the typing speed dramatically for those who CAN type...

  • what is "literal prowess"?

  • @atmospherepro his skill or potential.

  • They used the same paragraph. The typing speed should have been faster in the second test, since your brain actually memorized the data.

  • I guess the Ipad is the ultimate techno version of Marmite. Personally, I love the Ipad ! But I totally understand why people might not like the Ipad, everyone has a unique use of the Ipad. So, the Ipad doesen't suit everyones needs. It's not that the Ipad is bad, it's just the way we use it. ;)

  • Hes a horrible typist.

  • cmon he uses like 5 fingers or something :D learn using all :D:D:D:D

  • test is truly unfair. This dude is too bad in typing. He doesn't even know how to really type in the right way on Macbook itself.

  • Ipad suck for sure it only have dual 1 ghz cpu on it.

    But I love thier appilcation and touch screen that all.

  • ipad sux

  • first of all learn to type, funny video though thanks

  • wtf! its not the ipad his fault that its slower its just the dude who sucks at typing!

  • WE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE VIRTUAL KEYBOARDS NOT CHEAP PLASTIC TACTILE KEYS!

  • hahaha he uses three fingers how sad lol

  • you suck at typing!!!!!

  • this dude is mongol

  • You start the standard keyboard test @ :32 and end it at 1:12, so clearly no scaling, but the iPad test starts at 1:29 and ends at 2:38. Clear the stopwatch next time.

  • wo0w dude you soo fast in writing ^^

  • I can type really fast on e iPad with very very few mistakes like I am doing right now! On mistake in this sentence is "e"

  • @chillywinter16 I can't type for anything on my iPod's keyboard but I'm getting better. I've only had it for two months.. Lol

  • iPad virtual keyboard is a big shit. A keyboard must be tactile, then it must have pieces, and not just a screen draw. iPad can be nice, but not so usefull as a notebook for example. It's just one more fad.

  • Thumbs up if you did the typing too.

  • @hidepadsystem dude the ipad doesnt get any viruses u ass it doesnt download anything from the internet all of its apps r in the app store and the other apps ur getting r from cydia so there is not even 1 virus for the ipad ... its not a pc

  • @dante9359 I think I would rather have control over what I can and can't install on something I paid for. Fuck the app store. Common sense will protect you from viruses. I don't need apple's parental controls that are used to control where you buy your apps and what you can run.

  • @andrewh23 why dont u get it the ipad doesnt get viruses actually it doesnt have ANY !!

  • No need to replace your laptop or netbook for a ipad! Ha-ha!

  • how ridiculous, when he's typing on the ipad he already knows the text, so there's a great difference

  • Learn how to secure your ipad from viruses and hackers at HideiPad.net

  • wtf happend to 'f5'?????

  • not only are there ads everytime i watch this video, but they lag, so i have to push f5, AND THERE THEY COME AGAIN IN ALL THEIR LAGGINESS

  • @comicguitar

    LOL THAT MADE MY DAY.

    i think it's safe to say you're awesome.

    that is all.

  • HOW DARE THAY SHOW A WINDOWS MOBILE 7 AD BEFORE THIS VIDEO!!!!!

  • I have an Itouch and I find it annoying to type. I'm used to it but I'll always prefer actual keys to tapping a screen

  • uhhh wel if you ask me i like the laptop neter im not saying that i don't like the i pad but I just like the laptop better because with the eyepad you have to use the finger tips and that is very hard

  • Guy who don't know to type... is doing a type test. He should cover his face...

  • Use your 10 fingers man!!

  • @Y3y0ish3re you only have eight fingers and two thumbs and you're not suppose to use your thumbs when you type. they teach you that in typing class

  • @2ndtonone1000 who said that he has to use thumbs to type letters? He must use each finger for certain letters and he used more the forefingers...

  • @2ndtonone1000 I use my thumbs for the space bar! =P

  • nice...

  • must idiotic test that anyone in this world can do.... i bet this guys are americans

  • The first time i ever used the texting on iphone i immediately wrote it off as un-useable. Now, i find it the EASIEST way of texting on a mobile phone (made especially easy with the inclusion of landscape typing.)

    So who knows, with a month or two practice, maybe someone could actually type faster with a touch screen?

  • how much money do u guys get because this shit shouldnt get too much money

  • Oh wow, I bet you are used to both keyboards at the same level. lame?

  • God they have an easy job at IGN.

  • did he flunk the typing test.

  • download google chrome then use the browser and search google chrome extensions and get adblocker stops youtube ads and is 10x faster than normal browser

  • Hes not writing anything as he's typing with the same letters all the time

  • @WilanVids i invite you to take your ipad out of your pocket to answer a phonecall.. :D

  • ok its kind agood and everything but its not really liek that good cuz you like mess up a lot an dyou have no idea what yer din got d aosy fawe WHOA D: who am i to talk i mean whoa talk about typos...

  • @mrawesomemilk

    weirdo much.

    yes.

  • this vid was made on my birthday

    

  • they are mean to the ipad :( hahahahaha

  • wtf are you the slowest typer ever?

  • THE most stupid test ever. No way u can take that seriously. First of all, it's the same text for both times. You would certainly assume he had memorized some of the words. He had the iPad for just a day, and the Mac for i dont care for how long. Last but not least the guy fails at typing. I wrote that comment in my iphone and spent half the time.

  • @WilanVids Have you ever tried walking around and talking with something the size of an A4 piece of paper stuck to your head?

  • @WilanVids laptop to compare the keyboard with the ipad keyboard. the iphone to keep the time. the ipad to test against the macbook keyboard... Hahahah!

    Just joking! you have a point there!!

  • I perfer the real thing to touch typing. I've tried typing a 8 page essay on the iPad and let me tell you, its beyond annoying. It took me four times longer than it normally would on labtop. And I don't even want to imagine using it to take down notes during a lecture. It would be faster and much simpler for me to just write down the notesinstead. But typing aside, the iPad itself is is pretty useful, maybe once they come out with one that can connect to a portable keyboard, I'll buy one.

  • @makaihime actually, you can connect ipad with a keyboard

  • Im an informatic engineer and i can't work with ipad, i need a stable computer

  • i want an ipadddd

  • touch typing isn't that great. especially with the delay on both the iphone and ipad. virtual keys can't compare to the real thing.

  • this test is unfair he got the ipad yesterday and he could have had the laptop for a year

  • @adude256 But he should have remembered the sentence the second time around! hahahah

    You are right though!

  • He also already knew the paragraph and what to type.

  • Hahaha, he's not very good typing even on the laptop, this test sucks!

  • this is not even a fair test for how fast it takes to type. you should have a paragraph to copy instead of listening to somebody.

  • Why didnt you just conect a keyboard

  • @phtrebla WORD!!

  • Apple has a crazy, time limited offer right now. You can apply to be a beta tester for the iPad. After you recieve the iPad you can test it, write a review and then claim it for free :D I got mine two days ago and it works great :D You can apply for the testing at

    theipadtest.blogspot com

    You'll be redirected straight to the iPad tester submission page. Get yours before someone else gets it :)

  • youtube is become a shit...ads before video, ads during video, ads on the whole fucking website...and now the damn videos take 5 hours to load...at this go, i will be in metacafe...

  • You really really suck to be from Technical support.

    Fast typing it's a basic ability that someone like you it's suppose to have.

  • @hakura83 It's called "Touch Typing" lol.

  • You really really suck to be from Technical support.

    Fast typing it's a basic ability that someone like you it's suppose to have.

  • i know this just takes time to train. my cousin types really fast using just the blackberry qwerty keyboard. (it's touch screen, but the whole panel is like one big keypress feedback thingy... if that made sense

  • Found this APP, a must have one! (SubMapsXHD). basically subway-maps from ALOTS of cities on your devices (iPad/iPhone '3GS')... check it out

  • Scott Lowe looks like a hipster

  • got it.....

  • @finley4545 can you put a disk in it

  • wow this dude is really shit at typing

  • The Apple iPad is easy to type on and you get used to it extremely fast. In landscape mode, its extremeley easy to type like a normal keyboard, unfortunately, when i type using all fingers, the backspace button seems to small and i always accidentaly press the "p" instead of backspace

  • @BurtonDye Yes there are several printing apps but a lot of them suck and its not really good on the iPad as of now

  • can you print from the ipad. like could you email it to yourself then print it from your computer?

  • @BurtonDye Apple's official answer for iPad printing is to SYNC your DOCUMENTS back to your Mac or PC and print from there.

    But there're some APPS like Documentz Pro, ePrint, Air Sharing HD, HP iPrint Photo or Easy Photo-Print that gives you the opurtunity to print and share photos and documents. Anyway, STEVE JOBS says printing "Will Come" for iPad.

  • @BurtonDye Yes. The issue is you can't just apple + p print without some sort of third party app. Not quite a deal breaker, but it would have been very easy for Apple to include wireless printing drivers.

  • @WilanVids Because you can't do crap with a ipad. No watching dvds the old fashioned way. No hooking up your external hard drive. No inserting SD cards, shall i go on?

  • yeah...its hard to get used to the virtual keyboard. the lack of tactile feedback just kills me. i've had the ipad for about two weeks now and although the virtual keyboard is the best out there, its still hard to get used to it. but the virtual keyboard works great for regular browsing and short email replies.

    got an apple bluetooth keyboard today, paired it with the ipad and i'm typing much much faster now.

  • I just got a free ipad!!! It is amazing :D if you would like one too send me your email in a personal message and ill be happy to help :)

  • @TheInstantlockerzinv can i have one? lol

  • Thinking of purchasing an ipad, but I already have the ipod touch which I got recently and everyone is saying how the ipad is fundamentally an oversized ipod touch.

    Man, I miss Matt so much!!! He was by far the best IGN editor ever!

  • theres a reason the tablet format never caught on.....1)giant crushable screen, 2) no keyboard....incidentally that is why the laptop form factor stuck around....

    leave it to apple to TELL people what they want...that only works on so many people for so long...

  • so basically the ipad is one of those you things you just buy just to freaking spend some money?

  • i wanna get the apple ipad!!!! OMG its amazing

  • Что это за идиоты с лицами даунов?

  • Where did this guy learn to type?

  • @incanspyder22 on his mom's vagina

  • my 8 year old can type faster than this guy. its technology for the new generation. theyll grow up with this stuff, with less and less keyboards, and they wont complain like most adults do about the touchscreen keyboard

  • @WilanVids makes sense

  • firts try to learn how to use the keyboard (laptop and ipad) in 39 sec lol

  • hey there guys, a nice tip for all of you, if u want to download games and install them without the appstore without any cost, please visit ipadtap.info, and down them to your pc :* kiss you sweeties :x

  • I think the limiting factor in that test was his dodgy spelling.

  • Comment removed

  • Cara de Nerds!!!

  • I dont get ads within or outside of the video because im using adblock for chrome, beat that bitches. ^_^

  • That is the #1 test for me. All the entertainment stuff is great, but I need to actually be able to create and edit new words and ideas. Why hasn't any biz or cell co been able to merge text-to-speech recognition? Or a better auto complete, perhaps categorized based on part of speech, sentence structure, the word or phrase preceding, the sentences preceding, the type of writing, the # of paragraph, and a mil more factors? Treat predictive typing like Google treats SEO SERP results. MS + Google!

  • @wwwSEOWritersNet

    Newer phones that will be coming out within the next year have a new form of auto correct \ t9. apparently you keep your finger on the screen and just move from key to key and apparently it fixes it for you. Sorry to be so vague i dont know all the details but it is comin.

  • Haha! I beat your ads with my refresh button you evil Youtube! :D

  • iPad.........Apple has seriously ran out of ideas.

  • if you have this thing a couple of months it will go flawless ;) same as with the iphone..

  • ads now before the video? fuck this

  • @bethodman press f5 rite wen the ads start and the ads are gone

  • @bethodman just hit reload when you get an ad.

  • @bethodman just refresh the page and and no more ads!!

  • @bethodman press F5

  • I typed that exact paragraph is 32 seconds my first try, 22 seconds with a bluetooth keyboard, and I am a 6 finger typer. So I would not say this test id proper. He is not used to a small keyboard, I am.

  • Dan moet je sneller typen kneus..

  • Nuuuuuu ahora te meten publicidad abligada?? jajajaja un desastre....

  • looster he do not know writing .!!!!

  • You are horrible typing! the test should be do it by another

  • Man I need to practice typing more on my laptop than the iPad, lol. I thought I was a fast typist until I saw you two guys type, damn you guys are good at that!!

  • @JSantana319 27 words in 40 seconds is not fast, those of us who can type average 80 to 90 words a minute. But you are right, it is all practice

  • a laptop doesn't turn into a smudgy pos after use

  • lockerz invite, send pm to me, with e-mail!

  • not a very scientific test but who cares

  • The only complaint I would have for the iPad's keyboard (basing it off my experience with my iPhone) would be that it is difficult to type when you have long nails.

  • @Thorro well thats cause its capacitive....your finger nails have no heat so its kinda common sense

  • Zzzzzzzz

  • the guy typing looks like a asshole >__>

  • What a flawed 'test'. No control variable. iPad has upperhand because it's going last and uses the same phrase already exposed to the experimenter.

  • @pethcir Yet it still lost? Lol this isn't meant to be a carefully designed experiment, it's just a simple video showing how typing on the iPad is probably going to be more difficult than typing on a laptop. (like we really needed a video to show that :P)

  • i'd rather get a full featured notebook than an ipad.. more functional and way more value

  • I want to see someone use all their fingers like on a normal keyboard. I type fast on a normal but all these noobs are just using 2 fingers I want to see someone use ALL their fingers!!!

  • Im' waiting for the alien invasion they have better technology its cheaper and they do the brain implant for free.

  • I'm getting one for my birthday so excited : ) !!!

  • the ipad is basically the same thing as the ipod touch... just bigger. in my opinion its a waste of money.

  • i wanted an ipad. then when i went to the apple store i would never want to blow my money on one.

  • How about you guys do another test after he has been typing on the thing for a month... a true comparison is if you just started typing on a keyboard like his first time using a keyboard when he was a kid vs a virtual keyboard

  • as a designer. I would only be interested in a tablet type device if it had a stylus with pressure sensitivity... working with programs like the Adobe suite. The ipad sadly does none of this.

    its a streched out iphone without the phone....

  • Whats the point of asking questions if you don't have a brain?

  • In the end, the iPad is a luxury item that is not needed if you have an iPhone and a laptop.

  • Wait, if he started typing on the Ipad at minute 1:30 and finished at minute 2:38 isn't that 1 minute and 8 seconds? not 1 minute and 48 seconds like they said, so there's just a difference of 29.1 seconds between the laptop and the Ipad.

  • @comosera hahaa, he didn't reset the time after the laptop typing... what an idiot... and none of them noticed that?? idiots

  • Comment removed

  • @dunkAmania002 Well at least you calmed down. A tablet is a tablet. The software defines it more the hardware. Even if it lacks the simple things that people bitch about. :)

  • The IPad looks 'nifty' and all...but it just seems practically useless and really unneeded if you have something like a laptop or a another portable Apple product on hand. At best the IPad is great because its lightweight and generally doesn't seem to take that much space if you had the need to carry it around.

    But other than that, the need to look 'trendy', and general 'Tech-geek' interest...it seems like a waste of a decent bit of technology...

  • @YaoiVixen401 Doesn't seem to take less space than a laptop when carrying it around either....

  • @Toerme

    Ah, you're right now that I think about it. There are laptops that are about the same size and thickness as the IPad. Well, then that one less point in favor of the IPad. Now the only thing they have left for them is the fact that it makes you look trendy and pets your inner geek....

    Not a very positive endorsement if there ever was one....

  • :/ I really think you should have tested this on somebody who can actually type properly on a keyboard. That was horrible enough to make this test completely obsolete.

  • The only reason to get a iPad is if your a "Trend Setter".

  • @dunkAmania002 Then I must be loser. Anyway, it was just a freakin' typing test. Its IGN, they could buy two PS3s if they wanted to.

  • too fucking expensive for shit you don't need in life. fuck this and fuck you rich boys, i hope you spill your exotic frapacrapachinos on them and get your arse electrocuted.
