The [Kinesis Freestyle Edge](https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/) is what you want. It's a full keyboard, with extra keys you can map, and you can choose what switch you want. It's marketed for gamers, but it's good for everyone.

My one complaint is I find the space bar too large. I started used the Freestyle after decades of MS Natural keyboards. It took a while to get used to the size of the space bar.

Looking at the last slide "Automatic setup. Seamless switching."

What exactly is the W1? Can it work with an older MacBook, or would you need a not-yet-announced MacBook?

I was using a FitBit Charge HR but eventually just grew fed up with having to charge it - the cable is (afaik) proprietary and the one they included in the box is hilariously short. So I would often forget to grab it in the morning since it wasn't by my bedside (rather bed-floor). But I did like one thing about it - having the time on my wrist. So I just bought a cheap Casio and couldn't be happier.

I'm intrigued with the Pebble 2 and Time 2 - like that it's always on, and can go a long time between charges. But how does it work with iOS? From The Wirecutter, it looks like it's not a pleasant experience http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-smartwatch-iphone/#peb... Any other opinions?

There was a blog post about this http://oleb.net/blog/2014/06/apple-lifted-beta-nda/

The Popular/Latest buttons are a nightmare. It's only by using the 2x/1x button I realised that clicking on the button changes the view to what was previously on the button.

So for those curious - Sophie is Sophie Schmidt, daughter of Google chairman Eric Schmidt (the Eric in the first paragraph).

The iPhone 5 14 years ago

For being a review of the iPhone 5, notice that it is only focused on the hardware. There is no talk of iOS 6 at all.

And personally, I think that iOS 6 is a disappointment and no one wants to admit it. The hardware is eclipsing the software.

I like the radio dial, seems like a nice way to browse the different categories.

But this Podcasts app is missing 1 crucial feature it looks like - no ability to let you know the podcasts you are subscribed to have new episodes. I'm hoping that is expanded upon in iOS 6. Otherwise you still have to rely on syncing with iTunes.

"To pay off my college loans and car loan, I bought Macs from the bookstore and sold them on eBay. This consumed my life for about 3 weeks."

So you're the reason why they put the limits on education purchases.
