IPad 2 (virtual keyboard): Best = 57wpm / Average = 45wpm

IPad 2 (Apple Bluetooth keyboard): Best = 64wpm / Average = 56wpm Upon each attempt the words presented by iTextSpeed change, thereby giving a more accurate overview of real world usage. I will undertake 30 seconds per session and attempt the process 12 times. I will then create a baseline of my typing speed by using the iPad 2 with Apple's Bluetooth keyboard. I will also close all applications from the multitask bar besides iTextSpeed. Both will be setup in landscape mode using the virtual keyboard. In order to evaluate the results I will be using an iPad 2 and an iPad mini. In fact, thanks to the iTextSpeed app for iOS, I can put that claim to the test. In my opinion, that is worthy of being a creation device for writing. In theory, I believe the iPad mini allows me to type up to 80 percent of the pace that I would normally type on the larger sized iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard.

If I waited for the right time and situation, I would personally cease to be productive. Although, I shouldn’t be so surprised, as I have written long form articles on my iPhone 4, when no other device was available.Īs long as I have Pages for iOS, synced with iCloud, I can write anywhere at anytime. Personally, I find that I can comfortably write using the onscreen keyboard of the iPad mini. There is really no right or wrong approach. Some people refuse to use the virtual keyboard, others purchase expensive Bluetooth keyboards and associated cases in order to better utilize their device. Writing With The iPad mini Virtual KeyboardĪnyone who writes a significant amount of content will have a very subjective opinion on how they like to type. Whilst, my workflow isn't completely covered via iOS, I find that a good 90% of my weekly requirements can be undertaken by the small and affordable iPad mini.

We all know where that leads, don't we?Īfter establishing that I was more productive with iOS, I set out to find apps that could help me create, edit and publish the content I was generating each and every week. Instead of writing that latest review or feature article, I end up watching YouTube. When using the Mac, I find my mind wanders. I believe this is due to being forced to use a single app at a time. In fact, despite the known limitations in iOS when compared to OS X, I have found myself to be more productive when using iOS. I should add I did consider purchasing a MacBook Air 11-inch, but was dissuade due to the fact that it allows for significantly less consumption than the iPad and has a significantly shorter battery life with real world usage.

Twistedwave ipad full#
Put a full sized iPad, or MacBook Air, on one and there is little room left for the refreshment and slice of cake. Many online content creators spend their day coffee shop hopping and know just how small those tables can be. We all need our downtime and the iPad mini is the perfect compromise between productivity and entertainment. Surely that would allow me to be more productive, wouldn’t it? Of course, but all work and no play makes work, well, work. You may wonder why I don’t simply purchase a MacBook Air. With the iPad mini, those concerns are gone. I was constantly concerned about damage, loss and theft in public places and therefore I would leave the full sized iPad at home. This week I moved completely to the iPad mini and said goodbye to a device that I loved, but was simply too imposing for true portability. IPad mini with virtual keyboard in landscape mode.įor the past year, I have been utilizing my iPad 2 as a creation device. Of course, there are some minor obstacles that need to be overcome but with a little planning, these obstacles will cease to be relevant.

After all, this is now my portable device of choice to handle all my writing and podcasting commitments. Whilst there is no doubt regarding the consumption capabilities, I did find myself disagreeing with the iPad mini not being suitable for creation. The expert panel were all leaning towards the iPad mini being perfect for consumption, but less so for creation. On episode #1215 of The MacJury, our very own John Martellaro discusses this very topic. With the launch of the iPad mini, the discussion of consumption versus creation has come back to the forefront of topics on blogs and podcasts.
