Matias Introduces Keyboard For Smartphone Users

Matias announced a keyboard that aims to change the way you use your smartphone. As you'll guess from its name, the new USB 2.0 Keyboard + Smartphone Stand features a stand that's built into the keyboard, making it easy for you to use your smartphone apps while at your desk.

"This new setup is so convenient," said Edgar Matias, CEO of Matias. "I have all these little apps on my iPod that I use all day. With the new keyboard, they're in easy reach, all the time."



As Matias also points out, the keyboard stand allows you to use your iPod for personal use and your desktop PC for business use: "It also lets me keep my personal stuff on my iPod touch totally separate from the work I'm doing on my PC," said Matias. "I can keep tabs on things with my iPod, leaving my Mac screen clutter free, and dedicated to what I'm working on."

Although Matias' comments focus on the iPod, the silicone stand is designed to fit all smartphones. The keyboard also features a built-in USB hub for plugging in flash drives or a mouse.

The USB 2.0 Keyboard + Smartphone Stand is available now for a suggested retail price of $49.95. It's available from www.matias.ca and will be coming soon to Matias Authorized Resellers.
