The more wireless our world gets, the more connected we seem to become. One Kickstarterproduct, which has made a lot of noise not even one week into its campaign, is exploiting this paradox, putting you "one fold away from work."
The portable keyboard called myType is spearheaded by keyboard evangelist and MIT graduate Brunn W. Roysden. It fits nicely in your pocket and works wirelessly via Bluetooth with the iPhone, second and third iPad iterations, iPad Mini, iPod touch, Android (with HID support) and Windows 8 tablet. The keys interlock when it's closed so the keyboard folds up conveniently.
myType also strives to give users optimal functionality, with the looks and feel of a desktop keyboard. It's just more than one foot long when unfolded, and includes a micro USB port for charging. Its battery life last roughly eight hours, and the keyboard is splash resistant (for the most part) with a maximum wireless range of up to 33 feet.
Interested backers can snag one for $59 in black, white, blue, green or pink. At time of writing, myType's campaign had more than doubled its $10,000 first-stretch goal, with 30 days left to go.
