Many have stated they don’t like the iPhone for it’s lack of a keyboard and tactile feedback. Well, this may be the answer to that complaint. Read the press release below.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to improve typing speed and reduce text errors on the iPhone while keeping the touch screen’s look, function and size? 4iThumbs [http://www.4ithumbs.com] has an answer.

Launched today for the 2009 holiday season, 4iThumbs is a clear, tactile typing aid for the iPhone’s touch screen that facilitates faster and more accurate typing, enables blind typing, reduces glare and is the strongest screen protector on the market. The clear screen has tactile ridges that guide thumbs for accurate input to ease the transition from other smartphones to the iPhone, making the device more accessible for those who need tactile feedback when typing. The attachment enhances the iPhone user experience without disrupting the sleek design and can remain on the screen at all times without impeding screen or app functions. However, it can also be removed and inserted seamlessly on the rear of the device. 4iThumbs is available for purchase at http://www.4iThumbs.com.

4iThumbs is the invention of the 4iThumbs team led by Jerry Rosengarten, a serial entrepreneur, investor and owner of Stand, home of the famed “Toasted Marshmallow Shake” and New York Magazine’s pick for the best NYC burger in July 2009. A diehard Apple fan who has owned every model of the Mac computer since its introduction in 1984, Rosengarten has always been an early adopter and purchased his first iPhone on the day of release. He appreciated the groundbreaking design and functionality but noted the iPhone’s most acknowledged drawback—lack of a physical keyboard. Independent studies have shown iPhone users make more text entry errors than users of hard key phones, even after a month of use.* Rosengarten created 4iThumbs to address this problem and in company tests, 4iThumbs was found to reduce the number of text entry errors, improve typing speed, and enable blind typing. The attachment also effectively taught new users how to type on the iPhone when transitioning from other smartphones like the Blackberry.

“4iThumbs is an iPhone typing aid that helps users increase typing speed and accuracy. Whether you choose to keep the attachment or use it like training wheels, the beauty of this product is that it maintains the sleek look of the device while enhancing usability and offers a bridge for those who want an iPhone but avoid it because they need tactile feedback to type quickly,” said Rosengarten.

Made in America, 4iThumbs is priced at $14.95 for the portrait version, $16.95 for the landscape version and $19.95 for both. It is available for online purchase at http://www.4iThumbs.com.For more information, please visit http://www.4iThumbs.com or contact info@4iThumbs.com.
