The phone is definitely long enough for my fingers because it's in landscape position.Actually there's even enough space on my 4s because I don't think you are putting a space bar or key in between. That's partly why they mention putting a case on the phone, so that in using your fingers on the whole length of the phone you don't end up covering upt the speaker with your pinky or the edge of your hand. But you are right: we'll understand it better when the app come out and I may be misunderstanding it.
