And this keyboard allows to do just that, while sitting confortably and holding the Q1 ultra up like a newspaper. I think that many people who are criticising this design did not have enough time to discover its benefits. But I am almost sure samsung will go the mainstream in the next generation...unfortunately...you rarely get rewarded for being original.

And Fugly. But seeing as it's from Samsung I'd never buy it anyway Looks interesting. And Fugly. But seeing as it’s from Samsung I’d never buy it anyway
