begin with the word “tablet” has several meanings in Polish. First inclination reaching for this term is nowadays a small computer without a physical keyboard, but with a touch screen with a diagonal of a fairly large (at least 7 inches). But a few years ago, the word “tablet” was associated primarily with the control device, willingly used by graphic designers, but not only.
Why mention this? Therefore, the Grappity it is something between a modern tablet (a fully autonomous product, working on Android) and a control unit, which is a kind of totally-blown “remote control” to the TV. With one hand on it so we can run any program designed to Adroid, play Angry Birds, or browse the portal CHIP.pl, but on the other its shape and just use a translucent screen were conceived in the guise of a very unusual, but convenient replacement for the traditional keyboard .
Of course we did not have it in hand, but the idea – from the ergonomic – seems to really hit. Thanks to the transparent screen (normal matrix LCD backlit marginally) with bilateral grid touch receptors, because you can write on Grappity … bilaterally. This allows the entire device can be very comfortable to hold in both hands, touching them with the top two thumbs, and from the bottom – the other eight fingers. Best seen in the film:
However, although from the ergonomic idea we really like it so much if we take into account the overall functionality of the tablet, it seems it is a bit crippled. The image displayed on the transparent screen is probably difficult to see even in a neutral light, and with a strong probably hard for him to see anything. The shape of the housing, great to hold, much less check confident in normal use and transport.
was supposed to be transparent so the first tablet in the world and in some sense Grappity actually deserves the term. In our opinion, however, is more suitable for the description of the type: “sensational, futuristic, portable keyboard that runs on Android, which is not suitable, however, is a typical tabletowych applications.” The idea sided text input is great and should definitely be used in any keyboards that are to be held in his hands. But the tablet as a tablet? Probably not very … And what is your opinion?
Air Grippity can be purchased for $ 159 as part of the financing of social networking through the website Kickstarter.
