Review / Reseña: “Verbatim Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard” [iOS/Android]

[ES]:

Teclado Móvil Bluetooth de Verbatim

Durante mi visita a Hispanicize 2012, recibí unos gadgets que probé apenas regresé a casa. Entre ellos, tal vez mi favorito de los dispositivos que yo y varios otros recibieron de Radio Shack, había un teclado móvil.

Como un usuario de PC desde mi infancia, yo raras veces cometo errores al usar un teclado normal para escribir, pero yo todavía cometo más errores cuando uso un iPad o una tableta de Android al escribir oraciones rápidamente. Lo bueno es que éste tiene para mis necesidades móviles.

El Teclado Móvil Bluetooth de Verbatim es un teclado inalámbrico plegable que funciona con muchos dispositivos actuales, como con las tabletas Android 3.0 y los dispositivos de Apple (todas las iPads y iPhones habilitados para Bluetooth con el sistema operativo iOS 4.0 o versión más nueva).

No importa donde de coloque, funciona muy bien. Habrá una pequeña curva de aprendizaje dependiendo del nivel de experiencia del usuario, ya que tiene menos botones que los teclados normales, pero si una persona está acostumbrada a un teclado como el de los ordenadores portátiles (laptops), eso puede ayudar. Para que funcione, se necesita un par de pilas AAA (ya incluida en el paquete). Si uno tiene pilas recargables AAA, no habría nada de que preocuparse para su uso continuo.

De alguna manera ya sabía que quería probarlo con otra cosa: mi PlayStation 3. Después de prenderla y hacer los ajustes necesarios, este teclado inalámbrico se convirtió en el apropiado para mi consola. Cada vez que no estoy usando el teclado, lo doblo y lo coloca dentro de su estuche. Por supuesto, no hay mucho uso de un teclado en la mayoría de los juegos, pero para navegar y jugar algunos juegos que permitan uso de teclado, es muy bueno.

Como con el PS3, funcionó bien con el nuevo iPad, Droid 4 (Verizon), y las tabletas de T-Mobile conocidas como SpringBoard. El ícono del teclado hace que el teclado virtual aparezca en el nuevo iPad, una cosa muy buena, sobre todo si uno quiere escribir un letra en otro idioma que no sabe cómo hacerla, como las letras ñ o la ç (especialmente si uno es aficionado/a de Barcelona y desea escribir Barça y/o si uno sabe francés). Unas cuantas letras no son del mismo tamaño que la mayoría. La letras V y H son más grandes, mientras que la G & B son más pequeñas. Unas pocas teclas que suelen aparecer en ambos lados de un teclado normal (como Shift, Tab, y Caps Lock) sólo están disponibles por un lado, haciéndolo inconveniente para algunas personas.

Su diseño compacto, la consola de medios, botones Fn para funciones misceláneas específicas de aplicaciones de ordenadores portátiles, y los indicadores LED hacen que este teclado de móvil sea un dispositivo muy bueno para su uso.

Lo bueno

  • No sólo funciona con dispositivos Android 3.0 y el iPad o iPhone, también funciona con la consola de videojuegos PlayStation 3.
  • Es fácil para sincronizarlo con varios dispositivos.
  • El teclado es ligero y plegable.
  • Una bolsa de viaje para el tecaldo.

Lo malo

  • Dos botones con letras juntas al centro del dispositivo son más pequeños mientras que otros dos son más grandes con el fin de hacer que el teclado plegable.
Para más información acerca del teclado, visiten la siguiente página: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12326360.

Por cierto, aún se puede aprovechar de la promoción Intercambie y Ahorre (Trade and Save) de Radio Shack. Si todavía tienen dispositivos electrónicos antiguos que aún funcionan, como computadoras portátiles,  teléfonos celulares, cámaras digitales y consolas de juegos, pueden obtener crédito de la tienda. Muchos productos de alta tecnología que ya tienes sus años y no se usan más llegan a terminar en el ático, pero Radio Shack garantiza por lo menos $30 y hasta $300 para dispositivos usados y en funcionamiento. El último día para aprovechar de esta promoción es el 28. Si el dispositivo no está en la lista, Radio Shack puede reciclar el antiguo dispositivo de forma gratuita. Si valor del dispositivo es de $ 30, se tendrá que comprar un teléfono nuevo activado, y si es más de $30, se obtiene una tarjeta de regalo de tienda. Para obtener más información, visiten www.radioshacktradeandsave.com (sitio web en inglés).

Verbatim Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard

During my visit to Hispanicize 2012, I received a few gadgets I tested once I returned home. Among them, perhaps even my favorite one from the devices I and many others received from Radio Shack, there was a mobile keyboard.

As a PC user since my childhood, I seldom make mistakes when using a normal keyboard to type, but I still do more mistakes when using an iPad or an Android tablet when writing sentences quickly. Good thing I got this one for my mobile needs.

The Verbatim Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard is a wireless folding keyboard that works with many current devices, including Android 3.0 tablets and Apple devices (all iPads and Bluetooth-enabled iPhones with iOS 4.0 and up).

It doesn’t matter where you place it, it works great. There might a be a bit of a learning curve depending on your typing experience because it has less buttons that normal keyboards, but if one is already used to a keyboard on laptops, that can help. To make it work, it needs a couple of AAA batteries (already included in the package). If someone has rechargeable AAA batteries, it would not be an issue.

I somehow knew I wanted to try it with something else: my PlayStation 3. After turning it on and making the neccesary settings, this wireless keyboard became the one for my console. Whenever I’m not using the keyboard, I fold it and place it inside its carrying case. Of course, there isn’t much use for a keyboard in most games, but for next browsing and a few games, it’s very good.

As with the PS3, it worked well with the new iPad, Droid 4 (Verizon), and T-Mobile’s SpringBoard tablets. The keyboard icon makes the virtual keyboard appear, a really good thing, especially if you want to do a character in another language that you may not know how to do them, like the letters ñ or ç (esp. if someone’s a fan of Barcelona and wants to write Barça and/or if one knows French). A few letters are not of the same as most. The letters V and H are larger, while G & B are smaller. A few keys that usually appear on both sides of a normal keyboard (like Shift, Tab & Caps Lock) are only available on one side, perhaps an inconvenience for certain people.

Its compact design, media console, Fn buttons for miscelaneous app-specific functions on laptops, and the LED indicators make this mobile keyboard a very good device to use.

The good

  • It not only works with Android 3.0 devices and iPad/iPhones, it also works with the PS3 gaming console.
  • It’s easy to pair it with many devices.
  • Light-weight, foldable keyboard.
  • A keyboard carry-on case.

The bad

  • Two buttons with letters next to the middle of device are smaller while two others are bigger in order to make the keyboard a foldable one.
For more info about this keyboard, visit the following page: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12326360.

By the way, you can still take advantage of Radio Shack’s Trade and Save promotion. If you still have old and working laptops, cell phones, digital cameras and game consoles, you can get store credit on the purchase of a new. Many old tech products end up in the attic,  but Radio Shack guarantees at least $30 and as much as $300 for your old, tradeable devices. The last day to take advantage of this promotion is on the 28th. If your device isn’t listed, Radio Shack can recycle it for free, and if your device is worth $30, you have to buy a new phone and activate it. If the value is over $30, you get a store gift card. For more details, visit www.radioshacktradeandsave.com.

A funny video indeed. While I’m trying to teach the little ones (my great-niece and my great-nephew ages 4 and 1+ respectively), how to use a PS3 controller or a Wii Remote, this cat plays comfortably on its own using its hidden ninja instinct and skills. Watch it.
