<title>TidBITS: Why no keyboard support for the iPhone/touch</title>
<link>http://emperor.tidbits.com/webx/tidbits-talk</link>
<description><![CDATA[&gt;Isn't the keyboard problem not with the keyboard makers but Apple? <br>
&gt;Apple has mystifyingly designed the iphone so that you can't use the <br>
&gt;bluetooth connection to do this.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;This is a bit like the way the device is crippled so that one cannot <br>
&gt;cut and paste.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;Both of these are very frustrating. Why would they do this?<br>
<br>
That's a great question, and not one that I've ever seen a good <br>
answer to. The iPhone and iPod touch are, especially now that they <br>
can have third party applications, all that many people would need <br>
while travelling. The big exception is of course text input, which is <br>
far too slow for most people on the virtual keyboard.<br>
<br>
cheers... -Adam<br>
