Hello, I thought it might be a good idea to create a virtual keyboard for Apple iPhone which is a bit different than the integrated one.
Here is my attempt called iTypetext, so the address where you can try it out is www.itypetext.com. It has a widescreen layout, but it's not a full desktop keyboard, however I think it can be useful for the daily tasks. During the development I have thought of many improvements, but anyway this time is better for me to stop because I am a European developer and I don't have an Iphone so I cannot test this web application with the real hardware (and Iphone is very rare in Europe at the time of writing). That's why I ask the community, please test iTypetext and send me your comments if possible. I am especially interested in getting comments for the following topics: - Visiting www.itypetext.com shows up the detection of widescreen mode. The simplified procedure is the following: if iPhone is in narrow screen (vertical) position, the application should wait until the iPhone is rotated to horizontal position (widescreen mode) to proceed to the virtual keyboard. - if the detection doesn't work somehow, then please type the following address: www.itypetext.com/index_tkb.html. The virtual keyboard should appear. - The virtual keyboard should almost completely fill the horizontal screen of iPhone. So there should be no initial zoomed out (tiny) view. - Pressing any key clears the textarea. - I am curious if the typing speed is correct or it is responding slowly. - It should not happen, but it might be possible that pressing a (virtual) key brings up the iPhone's own keyboard. On the other hand, touching the textarea will very likely bring up the iPhone's own keyboard. - I am also curious if the typing is comfortable on the virtual keyboard at least an acceptable level. The size and readability of the displayed text (including auto-complete text) can also be a question. - In general, the rounded buttons need double-click to be activated. Clicking the Send button twice should activate the internal e-mail client of iPhone with the previously entered message. Please let me know what you think.
