If you want to see the keyboard in landscape then go to a web page w/ a form element, be in landscape and focus on that form element. It will be in landscape.
You will see why they don't do it. There isn't enough space in that direction to support the keyboard and give you enough context of the screen. I used to do it, but have stopped out of frustration. Is the keyboard REALLY that hard to use? I still resist this assumption. Also, about the swype style keyboard being usable w/o a stylus. I've had a lot of success with it. I would say that the accuracy of the expereince is 100% b/c of the amazing logics behind the keyboard and not due to any increase in physicality due to swyping per se, though the aesthetics of the motion is intriguing. I don't like it for composing but I do like it for one 2 two word writing. Where it might really be interesting is in the password space. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
