Straight out of the tech bubble of Southern California comes burgeoning upstate Waytools, here offering its latest – and surely smartest – offering for mobile devices. On paper, the 42.5 gram Textblade is a portable Bluetooth keyboard for phones and tablets, but in practicality, delivers so much more. Easily foldable into three parts, the keyboard is unified by a maglever bar that powers the board. What’s more, the keys were created to best predict the words of a typing user while preserving the tactile functionality of touchscreens. Powering all of this is a USB-chargeable lithium polymer battery. Check the video above to see the Textblade in action, and head over to Waytools’ website for further purchasing information.
