I’ve got fond memories of physical keyboards embedded in smartphones. My Palm Treos — I had three — were superb at composing email and SMS text responses. I even made notes for a book I was writing on one Treo. I speculate that the hardware keyboard is the principal differentiator keeping BlackBerry’s brand alive, along with its super-secure, cheapo messaging system that was used to organize riots in the UK last year, of course. Time goes by, and I am now accustomed to, and resigned to, typos — or even waiting until I get back to homebase to send long email replies. So, I was intrigued when I came across SwiftKey X Keyboard’s pitch.
