Das Keyboard, Stein des Anstoßes?

iphone-keyboard

Beschwerden über ein fehlendes – fest installiertes – Keyboard gibt es viele. Doch auf die ganze Kritik würde ich neben den ganzen Vermutungen, die im Netz zu finden sind, einmal Personen zu Wort kommen lassen, die das Gerät selbst ausprobieren durften. Und diese Personen sagen zum Beispiel folgendes:

I think the iPhone’s virtual keyboard is a huge improvement over the mechanical thumbpads found on the Treo and any other smart phones of its size.

The buttons are significantly larger, you don’t have to hit them dead-center, you lightly tap them instead of punching them down, and the software is smart enough to know that you meant to type “Tuesday? instead of “Tudsday.?

After 30 seconds, I was already typing faster with the iPhone than I ever have with any other phone. I suspect that true e-mail demons will need to adapt to the lack of tactile feedback, though.
