Typing on smartphones is hell. I generally try and avoid it unless I
absolutely have to.
+1k. I genuinely miss Palm's Graffiti 1...Thanks, Xerox! (And tactile
inputs in general, which Apple killed off and everyone else now
idiotically apes.) I like being able to, for example, switch songs and
adjust volume while driving or walking without having to bury my head
in a tiny screen to do so, like some twitter-obsessed social-whore
Millennial.
Anyway, typing on a mobile device was more or less a solved problem
until that sack of shit Steve Jobs moronically convinced everyone that
physical buttons and styluses were bad things (Remember, that was the
same dumbass who was convinced that Ctrl-Click was "simpler" for
average users than Right-Click, and that "Hold Up For 5 Seconds" was a
more sensible way to turn a device off than a power button or switch).
And so *now* PDAs (erm, I mean "smartphones") are horrible to type on.
Please, I still have a physical keyboard on my new smartphone.
Put your money where your mouth is.
