TabletKiosk to preinstall Eyesboard on new Tablets

EyesboardTabletKiosk is always looking for ways to add value to their nice Tablets and UMPCs and they are announcing today the inclusion of the Eyesboard, an on-screen configurable keyboard, with all Tablet PCs and UMPCs.  They are also making Eyesboard available as a download for existing TabletKiosk owners.

We have mentioned Eyesboard a few times beginning a couple of years ago so it has been around for a long time in the Tablet world.  PlazaLogic has continued to improve and expand the functionality of Eyesboard and TabletKiosk is well-served to include it on their Tablets. 

“Given that touch screen kiosks with virtual keyboards are now commonly used in airports and retail stores, today’s Tablet PC owners are more familiar with the idea of on-screen typing,” said Martin Smekal, president of TabletKiosk.  “By including the Eyesboard as a standard feature on all of our tablets, we believe that we have greatly improved the overall mobile computing experience.”

The  Eyesboard virtual keyboard looks and behaves like an actual computer keyboard with its traditional QWERTY key layout, separate numeric keypad and accessible function keys.  To maximize screen real estate, the Eyesboard is fully user resizable, and capable of docking or minimizing to the taskbar—so that the keyboard is always accessible even when editing a full size document. It also features adjustable opacity settings to allow whatever is below it to be completely hidden or partially visible.  In addition, the Eyesboard virtual keyboard conveniently appears at the Windows Log-In screen for easy password input, but runs with restricted functionality to maintain system security.

“The inclusion of the Eyesboard virtual keyboard for on-screen typing absolutely enhances the usability of our Sahara Slate PC® and eo® Ultra-Mobile PC systems, especially for those users new to the platform,” said Martin Smekal.  “The Eyesboard is the perfect complement to the slate Tablet PC form factor because it provides an extremely familiar method of entering text without adding extra components or weight.”   

Kudos to TabletKiosk and PlazaLogic for getting together to provide a useful tool to TabletKiosk customers.  Existing owners of TabletKiosk products check their web site for information about getting your downloaded copy.
