Hard keyboard needs soft keys
Typing this with my iPhone, in horizontal mode in Safari (of course), I'm wishing I had some function keys... Guy, you do have a long memory so I know you remember the Sinclair Z-something that had a superb keyboard, also quiet (which at one time was an issue). If Apple does this (and you make a good argument), the keyboard would have to be much better than the competition. Programmable, perhaps, so we could have WP function keys and the like, and also custom keys for business applications. Not to mention multiple character sets for different languages. Looking forward to that. But you can't compare processor wars and OS wars to a purely physical design decision that is not governed by standardss other than the QWERTY keys I'm using now. So it's not religious IMHO.
