Take your tablet typing back in time with the Typescreen. The Typescreen is a new iPad accessory from the folks over at Spinninghat that converts your iPad into an old-timey typewriter.
The typewriter has been making an incredible comeback as-of-late. As certain companies try to eliminate keyboards altogether (such as Apple), consumers have become more drawn to them, especially to the granddaddy of all keyboards, the typewriter. The Typescreen works almost exactly like a real typewriter with the big exception being that instead of loading paper into it, you load your iPad or iPad 2. The Typescreen is the ideal item for Apple owners looking to add some retro and functional flavor to their iPads. This typewriter-inspired peripheral is labeled as a limited edition and is priced at $50.
