CDs are smaller, cheaper, sound great, and have longer playtime. I think they're the superior medium. I get people prefer the sound of vinyl, though.

Here's what I look for:

- cheap (I prefer the feel of cheap plastic keyboards to anything fancy)

- dongle (Bluetooth frustrates me).

- number pad

- dedicated media keys

- no function next to ctrl on the left

Link won't load for me.

Couple of instances where I want to be able to type _very_ quickly is when I'm (a) taking notes while someone is talking or (b) writing out a lengthy code block I don't need to think that hard about. Other than that, typing at a modest speed is good enough.

If you're talking about the magic keyboard, I wouldn't consider that a clamshell. I mean it opens like this: _ < L

iPad's form factor (ie, not a clamshell) makes coding from train, couch, bed, impractical.

I think there are cases you can get that turns them into a clamshell on the other hand.

If you don't want to use electricity, you can have a knock.

What reason would you want to be notified of unknown visitors knocking on your doors when you're away? The only people I can see fitting this description are delivery drivers & salesmen?

Further, what if you're home and your phone is in another room, is on silent, or is dead?

What is you have a spouse or housemate? Do both of you get notified?

And there's also a subset of people who get frustrated by having to use QR codes in restaurants, who I suspect would be equally frustrated by this.
