iphone onscreen keyboard sucks?

[schnoid]

This article seems pretty interesting. I was wondering how the keyboard was gonna work, so somehow I wouldn't be surprised if the phone in general was a flop mostly because of this keyboard. I personally don't want to get an iphone because I want to stick with sprint and I hate the fact that you can't add software, but this is just one more reason I can't see myself getting one.

Dvorak (however you spell it) hates apple, or so it seems. Just take that article with a grain of salt, we'll find out first-hand soon enough

I don't think he HATES apple. He just doesn't believe the hype that apple tends to spurt out about their products. Apple makes decent products, but I believe the main reason it sells so well now is for its reputation as a status symbol.

No one with an ounce of integrity can fault a company because their marketing plan has successfully created a certain 'coolness' factor. Any brand name competitor would give their right arm for that.

Dvorak is an expert in failed keyboards.

I've given up reading him. Is he still saying the iPhone battery will last only 40 mins and SonyEricsson is doomed?

Ok. All is revealed about Dvorak:

I was talking with Dvorak at the Vloggercon party this evening, and he started telling a story about how he deliberately pisses Mac users off to get flow for his stories, and I said, hold a minute, I want to record this, and **** if he didn't stop and repeat it for me and my video camera. I guess now I'm an official video blogger.​

Bottom line. Only an idiot would take seriously anything he has to say about Apple.
