You Don't Need No Stinking QWERTY! FrogPad™ Accesses HID Drivers For the Bluetooth Enabled One-Handed Keyboard
Houston, TX (ContentDesk) May 9, 2006 -- FrogPad" Inc. (www.frogpad.com ), maker of the revolutionary portable one-handed keyboard, FrogPad" uses Bluetooth HID drivers for the One-Handed FrogPad, and announces the seamless integration of FrogPad Bluetooth keyboard with Bluetooth enabled UMPCs, Nokia 770 Internet Tablet (http://www.nokiausa.com/770) and Symbian Smartphones (http://www.symbian.com). Dubbed the iFrog, the new keyboard incorporates FrogPads patented ergonomic layout designed around the 15 most-used letters in the English alphabet with the latest wireless Bluetooth technology, and accomplishes 100% of all functions of a QWERTY keyboard.
FrogPad is the premier keyboard that will make these products successful. Pioneering a new global standard for data entry, the FrogPad keyboard breaks the century-old QWERTY code.
Unlike QWERTY, whose design was derived from the limitations of 19th Century typewriter technology, the FrogPad offers a patented logical algorithm and design that encourages correct ergonomic posture.
Additionally, given its use of full-size keys, the FrogPad offers users of mobile computing devices an superior alternative to the script-based, mini thumb keyboard platforms or folding keyboards currently available. The FrogPad offers users a consistent interface across desktop and mobile environments, no more re-learning a new data input method every time you upgrade a device.
After an average of 10-12 hours of training and practice, most FrogPad users can achieve input rates of up to 30-40 words per minute, as compared to the average of 10-20 words per minute by the fastest thumb typists. And FrogPad can be adapted for wearable computing with Velcro straps.
FrogPad to Mac, PC, Tablet users:
Cut Your Cables and Hop OnboardMeasuring just 3 x 5 , the iFrog is the only fully functional and portable keyboard with low profile, full-sized keys for fast, easy and accessible data entry.
Created with designers, educators, students, mobile professionals and the physically challenged in mind, the Bluetooth iFrog gives mobile road warriors a viable alternative to the sub-optimal design of the QWERTY keyboard.
For example, designers using CAD (computer-aided design) applications can now keep one hand on a mouse at all times and freely input data via the iFrog with the other hand.
Enterprise and mobile road warriors have always been on the leading edge of adopting new tools that change the way people interact with technologythe iFrog fits that bill, said Linda Marroquin, Founder, President and CEO, FrogPad?, Inc.
As FrogPad becomes the new global standard for wireless data input, combining it with the Bluetooth wireless standard is a natural development.
Therefore, we demand to know why more mobile products do not have Bluetooth HID as a standard integrated driver! The space-saving iFrog offers users mobility and portability in numerous commercial and industrial applications.
With a built-in rechargeable battery, the iFrog can be charged either through a wall adapter plug or through a standard USB port.
The iFrog is available for immediate purchase.
Bluetooth and FrogPad:
New Standards Set to Take Off for 2006. Since October 2003, FrogPad and Gennum Corporation have been jointly developing Bluetooth products that utilize the GENBlue" Module.
Powered by Cambridge Silicon Radios single chip technology, the module features full Bluetooth functionality and compatibility with Bluetooth enabled devices.
The iFrog fully supports the Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) profile, unlike many products that use the spam prone Serial Port (SPP) profile. Any platform that supports the HID profile (Macintosh OS X, Linux, Symbian Smartphones, most Windows Bluetooth adapters, Windows Mobile 5.0) just works out of the box with the iFrog with no drivers to load.
FrogPad is also developing HID compliant drivers with strategic partner, CC2GO, for those platforms that do not include HID support built in.
As we look for ways to help unwire people with our Bluetooth solutions, were very excited by the fast deployment of the GENBlue module on the iFrog, said Gora Ganguli, vice president and general manager, Gennum Corporation.
Having only worked with FrogPad for a relatively short period of time, were extremely impressed by how quickly weve moved from partnership agreement to production.
Todays announcement is a terrific step for Bluetooth and FrogPad, and we look forward to working with FrogPad to develop new and innovative wireless solutions that enhance the lives of our users. Press Conference FrogPad will host a press conference to showcase the IFrog on May 17, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. CDT in Houston Texas, at the corporate offices.
In attendance will be FrogPads CEO, Linda Marroquin, and executives from strategic partners.
Qualified media can sign up to receive review units at the press conference.

Eradicate Dirty Keyboard Problems-Washable
First there was E=MC2.
Now computercleaners Ltd can offer the world the solution to a significant problem - how to eradicate an Infection Hub.We discussed the problem with professionals throughout the world as they all recognised the importance of this issue, and then, via a chance meeting in 2004 we stumbled across 2nd generation flexible keyboards. It was our Eureka moment.
(Both Albert and Archimedes would have been proud of us.)Our equation is simple
(FK + D?= - CH)(Flexi Keyboard+ Destix?= Eradication of Contamination Hub)By using
high quality flexible washable key boards and Destix? we were able to eradicate this dangerous contamination hub. And this is where the "alchemy" comes in;
as we have taken two comparatively inert items and melded them together to create a "super solution".It is frighteningly simple and frighteningly effective.
The solution to the keyboard and MRSA infection hub problem
is now available. This...

(ContentDesk) December 9, 2005 -- The holiday season in New York City means snow-covered sidewalks, ice-skating at Rockefeller Center, and no kids winter experience is complete without a visit to the world famous toy display at FAO Schwarz. The store's guiding principle has not changed since 1862: to provide the world's children with the most extraordinary toys, and this year FAOs Toyland will include one of the hottest new gifts on the market: Piano Wizard". One of the classic movie moments and memories is Tom Hanks hopping across the giant keyboard at FAO Schwarz in the movie Big, said Chris Salter, inventor of Piano Wizard and founder of parent company Allegro Multimedia.
In that moment, he brings out the musical child in all of us, and that is what we have strived to do with Piano Wizard from the outset. To have Piano Wizard as part of that landmark annual toy display is a delight for us and the children, because now they can play real music quickly and easily, almost...
