Cheers, Dave.
Yes, I think the iPhone keyboard is hard to use -- in part because the
touchscreen is so sensitive. Luckily it often knows what I'm trying to
type, even if every letter is the one to the right of the one my fat
fingers are trying to hit. Also, I am getting better at it with
practice.

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.
