When you can't feel individual keys on a touchscreen device it can be hard to type at speed.

That is why Tactus, a company based in California, has developed technology which can turn a typical flat tablet screen into a real keyboard with bumpy buttons.

The keyboard rises from the tablet when needed, before disappearing when the typing is done.

Micah Yairi from Tactus explained how it works.

Nope, it will on the 30th. Canadian carriers are most likely to get the phone in stock first week of feb

What can you hook up? Do you work for a dealer store or a corporate store

^Agreed! Too bad that was the only good thing about it. My Bold was a piece of trash. More phones need to be creative with textures and materials though. Sick of all this plastic nowadays.

And phones need to have some weight to it too.
One of my favorite phones feel wise was still the Nokia 8800 Siricco..o man that slider feel and the weight/quality of the phone.
