Logitech's Solar Folio keyboard for the iPad gets all its power from light. But it is not exactly a worthy investment for the tablet typing crowd
There is a school of thought that insists that tablets are only a tool of consuming information and cannot be used for any sensible productive activity because they lack keyboards. As people who have edited videos and films on our tablets, we are not sure we agree with that, but what cannot be denied is that the tablet revolution has been accompanied by a surge in the popularity of portable keyboards that can be paired with them — either via a dock or over Bluetooth.
Logitech has been one of the frontrunners in the tablet keyboard segment — its Zagg aluminum keyboard for the iPad was a thing of simplistic beauty last year. And this year it has hit the headlines with its Solar Keyboard Folio. It works as both a cover and a keyboard — you can place your iPad (sorry, it is iPad only, folks) inside it and carry it around, open it and prop it up and type away.
