lol @ how they used an old iphone for their advertisement pic.  aside from that too bad the 2 devices need to be connected to the same subnet network to function (i wonder if i have my phone plugged in via usb it will work?).  this would be ideal for work as i want a tenkeyless, but often type long strings of numbers where i need my tenkey.  being able to pick up my iphone and type with my two thumbs would probably be just as efficient.

This is something I would download if it was free thinking it was the greatest idea ever and then not use. Ever. There's no tactile feedback. It'd feel odd, or you'd have to keep looking at the screen.

I tried it out and it's actually not that bad.  I don't touch-type on the numpad very well, though, so looking down at it is not a big deal for me.

does this app offer haptic feedback? the little vibrate when an action is pressed.
