Amkette launches SmartBoard QWERTY Bluetooth keyboard

Amkette has announced the launch of SmartBoard, a Bluetooth-enabled QWERTY keyboard that is compatible with PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones running on the iOS, Mac, Android and Windows platforms. Designed to provide seamless integration with the various form factors, SmartBoard will help users enjoy the portability of a tablet, without compromising on the practicality of a laptop keyboard.

The Amkette SmartBoard uses Bluetooth wireless technology to pair with any device, and is easy to setup, even for amateur technology users. The sleek keyboard features one click function keys for home, search (for iPad and Android), and menu. The SmartBoard is also fitted with multimedia function keys including play/pause, next, previous and volume up/down, thereby enabling users access to various functions directly from the keyboard.

Elaborating on the new accessory, Rajiv K Bapna, Director, Amkette, said, “Amkette has always been associated with creating gadgets and accessories that help better consumer experiences. From making computing simpler, to enabling the television to become smarter, we are moulding our products to suit consumer’s mobility needs. SmartBoard is the only device compatible with four operating systems, and can be synced with all personal technology devices.”

After the recent announcement of its EvoTV, Amkette has developed the SmartBoard. A high quality carrying case is included for safe and easy storage and better portability of the SmartBoard.

Here’s a look at some of the features of the SmartBoard:

• Long Battery Life – SmartBoard automatically manages its power by going into multilevel power saving mode. In addition, the On/Off switch at the back provides a total battery saving solution.
• Bluetooth 2.0 means Easy – Easy pairing, easy auto-reconnect, and easy portability
• Silicon Protective Lining – Style is an excellent addition to functionality; the soft silicon lining succeeds in enhancing the design, and helps prevent accidental damage

The compact design of the Wi-Key makes it perfect for browsing the net or playing games while sitting on the couch. The Wi-Key Touch was launched with a price tag of Rs. 2,495.
