The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinavasion.com\/product_info.php\/pName\/wireless-keyboard-touch-pad\/\">iPazzPort<\/a> combines a trackpad and thumb keyboard into a pocketable package, and it connects via a wireless dongle to either Windows or OS X computers.<\/p>\n<p>What would you use such a gadget for? As Red points out, the iPazzPort can be used with a media center for easy control of the system while sitting in front of the big screen. I can also see one of these adding value to slate devices for those who don&#8217;t like on-screen keyboards. The thumb keyboard looks like a decent entry device for those who like such things. I could also see this used as a remote control for giving presentations. Not too bad for $40.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research on GigaOM Pro (sub req\u2019d):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2010\/02\/cool-calm-and-connected-design-principles-for-connected-objects\/\">Cool, Calm and Connected: 3 Design Principles for Connected Objects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57596\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=57596&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless peripherals can be useful tools in the bag, if they are well executed and fit a need.
