Launched today, 4iThumbs is a clear, tactile typing aid for the iPhone’s touch screen that apparently facilitates faster and more accurate typing, enables blind typing, reduces glare and supposedly is the strongest screen protector on the market. The clear screen has tactile ridges that guide thumbs for accurate input to ease the transition from other smartphones to the iPhone, making the device more accessible for those who need tactile feedback when typing. The attachment enhances the iPhone user experience without disrupting the sleek design and can remain on the screen at all times without impeding screen or app functions. However, it can also be removed and inserted seamlessly on the rear of the device.
4iThumbs is priced at $14.95 for the portrait version, $16.95 for the landscape version and $19.95 for both. It is available for online purchase at http://www.4iThumbs.com.For more information, please visit http://www.4iThumbs.com or contact info@4iThumbs.com.

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    Let me start of by saying that I’m a pretty big guy and my fingers are huge. I was curious to see if this would cure my lack of typing on the apple keyboard. I do have to say it has improved my typing and it’s changed everything. It’s only been a few days but this is a winner. Other then that it doesn’t do anything or for that matter change anything, I used my phone a usual.

    Not only has this 4ithumbs enabled me to type more quickly and efficiently, it only cost me $15.00. Just to put this into perspective- my Iphone case cost me $30!!! Needless to say I was relieved at 15…
