I find it unfortunate that people get caught up in how in theory the copy and paste or export of the text through the app to something is a deal breaker for them. In using a number of these kinds of apps where this is necessary, I find that the idea sounds much worse than it is at all in reality. The functions that the apps let you export directly to such as an SMS message really take no time at all, especially after you are use to exactly what it takes to do it. The copy and paste is not as difficult as it sounds and people get caught up in the idea they will have to spend all kinds of time selecting text. You do not. The app selects the text by double tapping a control or two. People that say it is of no use if it is not integrated are selling it short. I think if people that simply have tha mind set would give it an open minded chance, if they can bring themselves to honestly do that, they would realize it takes longer to complain about it than to do it! Typing the message to complain about it, even on their computer takes longer than to use the app even with copy and paste. I also agree that you can not compare typing on any mobile device with the efficiency of a full size keyboard. They are just not the same thing. They were never intended to be the same thing. If you want that efficiency you will have to probably cary at least a laptop everywhere with you. Then you will have the time factor of booting up or getting things hooked up to type fast and do whatever you are doing.
