The shift key is on the left side of the keyboard. If you press it before you type a letter, guess what, it makes a capital for the beginning of a sentence.

Good luck with it the screens on them aren't the best to look at in bright sun. Plus being they're touch screen makes holding them more difficult because every time you do something you touch the screen and they leave way points you have to go back in and erase. I could be all wrong but the reports I read of there newer touch screen non automobile models isn't good.
