Hey, I'm testing this out right now, and somethings work right and some things not quite. The recognition of widescreen/slimscreen doesn't work, it goes straight to the keyboard even if I load the page in slimscreen. The keyboard starts out fullscreen without being shrunken.
The keys/buttons don't wrap correctly on the screen. The buttons are arranged like this, with pretty large rounded buttons around them: "123456789 0()<- ->QWERTYUI OP+= Caps ASDFGHJK L:@Enter Caps ZXCVBNM, .?!/ Clear About Spacebar www Send The text properly goes in the box, and typing using your keyboad does not trigger the iPhone's onscreen keyboard. (Although tapping inside the box does make the keyboard pop up) The keys are pretty laggy and their buggy arrangement makes things a little more difficult ;) [Clear] doesn't work, and autocorrecting doesn't seem to work either. Good effort, and I like anything for the iphone that lets you take text from one screen and put it on another. The lack of a general copy/ paste feature on the iPhone is annoying. -Adam On Aug 7, 8:56 am, Imre Meszaros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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 iswww.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: > > - Visitingwww.itypetext.comshows up the detection of widescreen > mode.
