Attention all you texters who need to type constantly but want an different shaped keyboard. Samsung has filed a patent with split fly-out QWERTY keyboard.
The device is titled "Mobile Terminal Having Rear Keypad." The keypads are spring-loaded and slide into the back of the smartphone. The patent states "key input can be easily performed while viewing an image displayed on the touch screen.""
The patent claims "character message writing" and game playing is easier, due to the the larger keyboard.
The Register pointed out that if may be hard to hold. Being touch typists, we think the design would fly, if you placed it flat on a table at a coffee house.
