(Houston, Texas) – FrogPad, Inc. was featured on TechTV’s The Screen Savers Show October 13, 2003, the day it launched its new FrogPad™ USB keyboard after three and a half years of research and development. Patrick Norton of TechTV noted, “This tiny keyboard promises to rescue office workers with limited desktop space.”

FrogPad, Inc., the innovator in data entry for mobile and communication devices, licensed its intellectual property to KaizenFrogPad, Llc. to manufacture and distribute the new keyboard. The FrogPad™ keyboard’s patented technology offers one-handed data entry for mobile and desktop computing devices. FrogPad™ is the only one-handed keypad that replicates every function on the standard keyboard, including the Function keys, truly making it the contender for setting a new keyboard standard for any text-intensive mobile application.

The one-handed patented FrogPad™ keypad design incorporates many human interface elements to ensure ease of use such as ergonomics, letter usage and frequency, as well as simultaneous key function change. The first FrogPad™, Ion Class, was designed for right-handed individuals. The left-handed FrogPad™ will be available in early 2004, and the BlueTooth model in mid-2004. All of these elements combine to create the smallest, most productive and most usable form factor for text-intensive applications.

“FrogPad™ simply is the new mobile keyboard standard for fast, easy and accessible data entry,” said Linda Marroquin, FrogPad Inc.’s CEO and President. “We have tested the device in a variety of applications, and we know that it’s easier and faster to learn to type on the FrogPad™ than on a standard QWERTY keyboard, and we know that it offers more possibilities for mobile computing. The most critical innovation is the impact on typing posture, eliminating the problems associated with typing on the standard keyboard.”

The FrogPad™ keyboard enables true mobile computing by eliminating the need to learn a new data entry language, cope with miniature keys and cramped QWERTY layouts, or struggle with two handed entry in a small or desk-less space. Key wireless markets for FrogPad™ are tablet and wearable pc’s, for Clinical Trials, Telematics and Field Force applications, a $90 billion market. Other critical markets are for education, the physically challenged and PhotoShop® and CAD® users. FrogPad’s patented data entry technology, keyboard layout and algorithms will be licensed to wireless service providers and manufacturers through a unique multi-phase pilot, integration and deployment process.
