Apple sneaks in some very subtle, yet incredibly useful features in iOS from time to time. One such feature comes bundled with the split keyboard for the iPad in iOS 5.0.1/iOS 5.

iPad’s Split Keyboard Has Six Hidden Keys For Your Convenience

Testing the split keyboard just for fun.

Doing so, sure makes the keys smaller, and easier to make a typing error.

The purpose of the split keyboard is so you can type while holding the ipad up. Without the keyboard split it's almost impossible to reach the G and H keys. So before you really couldn't type at all while holding the iPad.

On a seperate note, it's funny how many people I have come across that didnt' even know their ipad had the split keyboard feature. They are amazed when I show them. IOS 5 has so many amazing features that people aren't even aware of (like the built in dictionary). Some have to be enabled in the options (like the speak text feature).
