Apple has always been extremely racist against buttons. From the one buttoned mouse, apparently designed so as to not "confuse" users, to the mighty mouse, in which the buttons are hidden and regularly go unnoticed. The iPod touch and iPhone have just one button, everything else is touch based. And now the new Shuffle, which is universally accepted as a piece of crap (except by Apple fanbois).
I shudder when I think "What if Apple had designed the typewriter, the layout of which exists in today's keyboards?". We would probably be using a device with one button and a slider.

PS: If you support Apple, you support APARTHEID!!!!11one
The ideal interface would be would to have one button with 'Do whatever I want, 100% accurately and when I want you to'
Unfortunately we aren't there yet.
"What if Apple had designed the typewriter..."
Yeah because the qwerty layout is just so awesome. It was designed to SLOW DOWN typing so keys would not jam.
