I'm a huge fan of the predictive typing software that came with my
XV6800. I don't remember who makes it offhand, but it works amazingly
well and I can enter data very quickly on my handheld now that I've used
it a few months. (It remembers the oddest strings, long ones that I
only type occasionally.)

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.

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.
