Work dudes and I were wondering how slow the iPad is to type on. We were talking IDEs and Textmate and crap. So I fired up this online typing test at typingtest.com. It was just the first hit on google.

Dell work laptop: 70wpm
Mac at home: 68wpm
iPad landscape reclined: 33wpm
iPhone landscape: 22wpm

Testing the iPhone was a little harder because the PC type sites I’d use wouldn’t work with it. When you type in a box, the iPhone zooms in to help you see the input form but takes away the content you’re supposed to be typing. I did find an iPhone typing test site of all things and I came up this this result.

I was surprised that the iPhone wasn’t lower and the Mac wasn’t higher. I guess I spend more time typing at work or something. 70 is pretty flat out for me. I make a lot of mistakes.
