  • Samsung has launched a new wireless keyboard with a dedicated DeX button.
  • The new Smart Keyboard Trio 500 lets you pair multiple devices and switch between them with a single click.
  • There's no word on price or availability yet.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus are currently the only Android alternatives to Apple's new 2021 iPad Pro models. As spotted by tipster Max J., Samsung has rolled out a new wireless keyboard for its best Android tablets with a dedicated DeX button.

The dedicated button will allow users to access DeX via the keyboard when it is paired with a compatible Samsung tablet. As noted by Samsung on its website, the feature is limited to the Galaxy Tab S4, Galaxy Tab S5e, Galaxy Tab S6, Galaxy Tab S7, Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, and Galaxy Tab Active Pro models.

Besides the DeX button, the Smart Keyboard Trio 500 also lets users connect up to three devices at once. The F7, F8, and F9 keys on the keyboard allow you to quickly switch between phones, tablets, and other paired devices with just a single click.

Another cool feature is the ability to assign custom Hot Keys to your most frequently used apps. However, this functionality is only available when the keyboard is paired with Samsung's best Android phones and tablets running the latest One UI 3.1 update.

Even though the Smart Keyboard Trio 500 has been listed on Samsung's website, the company hasn't revealed pricing or availability yet.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis.

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
