Comments on: Today's Apple iPhone video: the keyboard!

Company releases another video showing how to use iPhone. This time the focus is the touch-screen keyboard, whose effectiveness has been in question.

Do you Yahoo?

Waiting two minutes for your Yahoo page to download? Yes, you a
correct with that snarky remark. The iPhone is not meant to replace
a PC or laptop with broadband connection. Now other smart
phones download the Yahoo page at blazing fast speed.

You're so funny Mr. Blogger. That last comment was so cutting!

Seriously though, the screen changing to accomodate the predicted
letter is pretty sweet. As for EDGE's slowness, who's to say that
experience won't vary among users?

re: EDGE

How would the EDGE experience be any different for anyone? Talk to any AT&T wireless user that has to use EDGE on a regular basis and you won't find a single one who will tell you that its speed is anything approaching acceptable.

EDGE won't change, and unless Apple figures out how to do nation-wide wifi and enable VOIP on the iPhone at that point, the EDGE network is terribly crippling, and a real dealbreaker for the phone.

iPhone - illiteracy enabler

Great, when we already have too many people making a mess of the written word, with crappy spelling, poor use of punctuation and other errors, along comes iPhone.

Now, stupidity can be masked by the software which will fill in missing apostrophes, add the capitals where they are supposed to be, etc.

$600 will buy a stupid twit a way to look more sophisticated and better educated than he or she warrants. It will reinforce their ignorance and bad habits by covering them up on the fly.

I want a different feature. I vote for input feedback that flashes a large, bold, bright bubble saying something like "Hey you stupid punk! There's supposed to be a [whatever] there!"

At least the iPod has a full keyboard. It will do more to get rid of
text abbreviations than the alphanumeric phone keypads currently
used by most people. I get your point though, even email sent from
a PC is horrid looking.
