If so, then touch typing is just a rotor away. Bring up the keyboard, then rotor (above the keyboard, not on it) over to an option something like typing method, or something like that. Swipe up until you hear "touch typing", and start typing by moving your finger to the letter and lifting it up. Note that leaving your finger on the letter and tapping will still work as well, and is required to activate buttons like "more" or "delete". The VS, and in fact all GWM devices, are not on the supported list yet. I would suggest emailing gwm, probably support, and asking them to work with Apple to make this happen. As far as I know, they are the one major company offering braille displays that do not work wirelessly with iTouch devices on iOS4.
