Hanx Writer attempts to replicate the experience of writing on an old typewriter, but with the modern convenience afforded by the iPad.</p> <!--break--> <p>The keys on Hanx Writer's keyboard are shaped like typewriter keys. The typing view presents the keyboard, the document, and all of the expected parts you would see on a typewriter. The app is free to download, and you'll get one typewriter look, the Hanx Prime Select.</p> <p>Two more are available for purchase, the Hanx 707 and Hanx Golden Touch. Each of these are available for $2.99, and include the ability to create multiple documents, choose ribbon colors, as well as app background colors. You could also pay $4.99 for the Writer's Block Bundle, which includes the 707 and Golden Touch, along with the other features.</p> <p>Anyone looking to replicate the typewriter experience on their iPad can give Hanx Writer a shot right now. It's available for free from the App Store.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hanx-writer/id868326899?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26337"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3d81df70/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
