This is what the FrogPad site says: Learning to type on a FrogPad™ is very easy, and with our tutorial software you will become a frog master in less than 10 hours. Even after a couple of hours, you should be typing at around 20 words per minute. You will notice that typing on the FrogPad™ is more intuitive than a standard QWERTY keyboard. You do not need a formal semester long typing course to train you with these learning tools available.
If this is true I do not know. If I can get one cheap, might try. Still not willing to put much money into something I an not sure of. We are not much different.

You mean it's not because my kid spilled orange juice on it the other day?
"Use the right tool for the right job." -- Scotty, et al
A keyboard will always be the right tool for a great many jobs. I just wouldn't want to edit a picture with one.

We have ended up with a horrible arrangement of keys that are still offset like they had to be for the earliest keyboards. Almost all the keyboards sold as ergonomic are not. They still have the key above and below a key offset, and the right and left sides are offset the same way. There are only a handful of truely ergonomic keyboards, and it seems that people just do not understand that something is not necessarily well designed because somebody has attached the word ergonomic to the name.

I took a class in Usablily. My instructor had switched all the secretaries to Dvorak, and told them they could switch back once they matched thier typing speed on the Qwerty. The first secretary had matched her speed in a week, and the last within 2 weeks. They all went back to Qwerty. Would have been nice if Qwerty had been abandoned 60 years ago when electric typewriters took over. There was no longer any reason at that time to stick with an antiquated standard. Today we tend to use several different keyboards, so it will be much harder to get people to switch. One of the many cases where people (and companies) are so stupid.

Opening regedit in Windows8 using only a keyboard:
0) Toggle your to Metro desktop (Windows key)
1) Type the word "regedit"
2) Press enter
Try doing that faster using gestures, mouse, or whatever. It's impossible; I don't believe you can actually get into regedit this way anyway.
For the expert user, keyboards will still be around for at least a decade.
