Apple Patents Keyboard That Knows What You'll Type

Posted by samzenpus on from the future-board dept.

fysdt writes "Another day, another patent, this one from Apple for a very curious sort of keyboard that might be easier to type on because it'll know in advance which keys your fingertips want to hit. No, not a device built by Emmett 'Doc' Brown (as far as we know, anyway), or pulled back through time in a TARDIS—just a very special type of board with tiny inbuilt tactile sensors capable of detecting what your spider-formation fingers are about to tap before they actually do."

    That's the nice thing about Apple products though. If they don't do what you wanted, you can safely assume that what you wanted was just wrong.
