We don't have any details on the study David is referring to, so it
isn't clear to me how relevant it is to the discussion. For example, he
refers to exploring the screen and doesn't reference typing speed. He
also says the iPad was used but not a phablet or something akin to the
size of the iP
yes that works. But it's not convenient

My initial training was on an IPad. I had problems keeping track of where I
was on the screen. This problem is muss less with my iPhone 4S.
I do have fine motor problems which, I'm sure, add to this problem.
My iPhone will have to be replaced soon and I hope I don't have any serious
problems
Could you slow the speech down a bit to make it sound more natural? That
was a bit fast for some.
