Hi eleanor.
That is precisely why the first device I bought for my Iphone the day I got
it (well after a sturdy case), was a bluetooth keyboard, although as I said
I frequently wind up using dictation or flicking through the on screen
keyboard because unfortunately the keyboard is a bit large to carry around
with me so I only use it at my flat.
I agree keyboards will stay for typing speed if nothing else, however my
point was more about the fact that as typing becomes sort of a specialist
professional thing things like keyboard shortcuts in programs are falling
off, and we'll likely end up with a situation where keyboards just! are used
for typing and most control will be touch screen controls, or possibly
dictation which will have it's own set of access issues and requirements in
the future.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Weighing in on the typing issue, I agree with both Tim and Dark. One point
that must be made though is that touch typing really needs a physical
keyboard, not just a virtual keyboard. Correct finger positioning is
necessary and without tactile clues, it is difficult to do. Since
keyboards can be used with tablets, someone can touch type, using a
keyboard on a tablet. I am a touch typist and have to hunt and peck on a
virtual keyboard, which is where this whole discussion started - i.e. are
we moving away from desktops. Perhaps a Surface Pro type of device is an
example of the direction that we are going?
