Im glad about forcing people to look at the screen to type.. it will help prevent people from texting while driving, which has become very popular I've noticed.]]>Jul 31st 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/How does that make sense? The reason there is a problem now is because all the idiots don't know how to text without looking at the keypad anyway, resulting in not watching the road. If anything, all the stuck-up people will text while driving anyway, forcing them to look at the phone.]]>Jul 31st 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.osnews.com/story.php/15389/Review-TenGO-2.0-and-TenGO-Thumb

Where Apple really though different was in realizing that some non-alpha keys are not needed while others are in different apps. Therefore, you're likely to have an @ or ".com" key conveniently at hand rather than having a static, one mode fits all keyboard.

Apple did good on this area

Cheers!

My LifeDrive does not get that hot. I was smart, I purchased the hard case for it, the one with the metal cover. And noticed that the LifeDrive had vent holes in the back, But the case did not. So I drilled a series of holes in the back of the hard case. It seems to have allowed it to vent properly, so no overheating issues!]]>Jul 31st 2007 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/
The only thing about this... i kinda doubt that he has implemented the changing key zone sizes and some of the other aspects of the keyboard. this is more of a very superficial copy.]]>Jul 30th 2007 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/

Not really. The N800 is a pretty slick device. Hopefully Nokia will continue to update the OS. ]]>Jul 30th 2007 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/Jul 30th 2007 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/Jul 30th 2007 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/Jul 30th 2007 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/Jul 31st 2007 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/Jul 31st 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/

Who does *not* like the iPhone keyboard? Of those who have used it on a regular basis of course. I *love* my iPhone keyboard. I can zoom (comparatively speaking) on mine. I'm much, much faster than with either my Treo 650 or Blackberry keyboards. I find it to be considerably more accurate, fast, and comfortable than any miniature keyboard I've used. (Treo 650, Blackberry, various Sony Clios).

I'm still wondering why people are insisting that the iPhone keyboard is poor. I can't find anyone who has used it extensively who says its worse than any miniature keyboard and most say its decidedly better.]]>Jul 31st 2007 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/30/tenacious-hacker-brings-the-iphone-keyboard-to-a-nokia-n800/The only downside is having to look at the screen to type,
