FrogPad the one handed keyboard(http://www.frogpad.com/)
FrogPad™ is a one-handed keyboard to be used with USB Keyboard compatible PDA's, Pocket PCs, Tablet and Wearable PC's, and other mobile applications, such as portable laptops, which utilizes the flexibility and ease of one-handed functionality and the performance of an efficient keyboard.
The FrogPad™ has been designed for fast data entry. The letter layout is based on the percent usage of each letter in the English language. Fifteen letters that are used 86% of the time by typists are placed in the most efficient locations on the keyboard.
FrogPad™ for the Disabled User
At FrogPad™ the mission is to improve the lives of the physically challenged. They understand the frustration that occurs at work when you can’t type at a productive speed because of physical limitations. With FrogPad™ you will soon be on your way to typing 40 words per minute regardless of if you only have the use of one good hand. FrogPad™ also helps physically challenged children to keep up with their classmates at school so that their disability does not interfere with their learning.
Unlike previous approaches to one-handed typing, FrogPad™ is intuitive and uses full sized keys just like the QWERTY keyboard. The letters have been arranged on the FrogPad™ to improve typing speeds over the QWERTY and half QWERTY methods. You may have been unimpressed with chording keyboards because of their awkward look and many complicated key presses. With the FrogPad™ you only need to use a maximum of two fingers at a time to access any letter. Also, the fun attractive look of the FrogPad™ will have all of your friends jealous and wanting one of their own.
The Veterans Coalition Challenge wants to give 1000 FrogPads to each disabled Veteran that wants one, but they need your help. see this url: http://medical.presslib.com/medical-products/607971.htm
Mac World, San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2008 -- FrogPad, Inc. announces the expansion of the Coalition Veterans Challenge. We asked the question, "What can we the people do for those who have been sent to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and have returned disabled".
We must stand in this question and recognize that there are no politics in a disabled soldier. As the weaponry becomes more sophisticated, the injury becomes more frightful and devastating. These are injuries that will affect the rest of the life of the young soldier. The estimates are that there are over 10,000 Vets returning from these wars without the use of a hand or arm.
FrogPad can do something that the big industrial and military complexes have not offered. FrogPad, Inc. begins the IOOO FrogPad Program . FrogPad products and services that make a difference to each US and Coalition veteran that requires one because of loss of a hand. FrogPad is a simple one-handed keyboard, which can have significant impact on a veteran staying integrated in the IT workplace. This is our effort to demonstrate that even a small Hispanic Woman Enterprise can bridge the gap in International relations.
