What I always wanted was a phone that exposed itself in some sane API for
some lightweight language such as lisp or forth.
For example, here in Brazil you have your phone number as a 8 digits phone.
If you're on a different state (or city) you need to put the 2 digits DDD
(distance direct call)
It shouldn't be that hard. The code should be the same, just a
different database of words. I would assume they put more frequently
used words first.

Perhaps not. There's a vibrational technology that sounds very promising
for this and other cell phones. It uses the built-in vibration mode of the
phone combined with a split second timing algorithm that

This is going to make the keyboard highly english dependent, I
should think. I haven't even been concerned with localizing my

probably a must concern for its software.

Hi Ken,
Well, I was trying to type in Dripping Springs, TX into the Map app, and
it was very, very hard. It couldn't figure out the Dripping part at all.
From what I've read in some of the forums, the predictive typing is a mixed
bag of blessing and curse. Of course the video from Apple shows
BTW, I did watch the video. At the beginning, it shows 1 finger covering 4
characters. That's a fat finger! (Probably mine).
And, that's the problem I have. When a single finger covers that many keys,
it not only makes it difficult to figure out which key you are typing, but
also it hides 3
Chipp,
According to a current rumor on Apple Insider, the next gen iPhone will have
the keyboard in landscape mode (instead of portrait). Should make more finger
room. Glad you waited?

I tried typing using the on-screen keyboard and it worked very well.
My fingers are not small.
As others pointed out, a standard stylus won't give the conductance
needed. However, I suspect that it won't take long for someone to
come out with an imitation finger as a stylus and will
Been a Mac user too long. I meant to say, ...using my finger...

I didn't get one yet..I think I'll wait for V2 when they kick up the speed
to 3G.
Cool things:
- Plays Music and Video
- State-of-the-Art interface
- Real and Full WebBrowser
I will get one anyways but I'm going to wait until greater coverage for a

Well, I finally went down to the Apple store to check it out. Of course the

Some observations:

Thanks, Chipp. Sounds promising. Guess Apple needs to implement voice
input someway. I know it's tough, particularly with background noise,
but that would make it a truly great instrument. A good Stylus would
be acceptable of course.

- Has a small external speaker so you can hear YouTube videos
- Apple says software updates will be free
