Initial Thoughts on Android and the G1 Smartphone

Your piece should be headlined and end with what it begins: :for someone who can't use an iPhone touch keyboard. That said, for the tens of millions of others who are perfectly happy with iPhone touch typing, indeed, would never ever go back to a keyboard, it can be disregarded.

What's Better: BlackBerry or iPhone?

For email-heavy users it seems existing touchscreen text typing technology isn't ready for prime time, especially for long fingernail and/or thick fingered people - probably half the population. But then neither are some of those teeny keyboards. However, the better designed ones, like on the Blackberry, seemingly are adequate for the application.

It is strongly rumored that the 3G iPhone touch screen will be more keyboard centric - touch becomes more like press. This had better be so if the iPhone is to become a serious player with heavy email business folks. It is to the degree that touch approaches press (both in feel and sound) that will determine the success of the technology for typing text over the long term.
