The big question with the iPhone is the keyboard - or lack of
one.
For a lot of folk, this looms as the deal breaker; it's a paradigm shift not ma
ny feel they can get used to. Some are skeptical if smooth glass would ever dis
place QWERTY (including myself). But Apple claims their system is workable, wit
h built-in intelligent spell checkers and a fault-tolerant virtual keypad that
dynamically changes the size of the press zone. Apple recommends getting used t
o typing with one hand first, and later when you get comfortable, start with th
e two-thumbs thing. Ok. We'll see.
In the meantime Apple has posted a video on how to use the new non-keyboard on
their site,
and like the previous vids, are viewable in S/M/L sizes, plus a download link
for the L version, another hefty 67MB download. Go ahead, it's your bandwidth.
