eh, you get used to the keyboard. Even without there being any tactile
to feel I have gotten to where I can almost always go straight for the
right key on the screen and its ok if you miss by a lil because it
doesnt press the key unless you double click after touching it. there
are apps you can download forthe fun to enter the text via speech, and I
have a feeling Apple will do something eventually about the lack of
external keyboards because there are so many peopel gripping about not
being able to use any blue tooth keyboard with the device. I did see a
youtube video of a key that jurry rigged a blue tooth keyboard to work
with it but it seemed like alot of work.
