So, this question has been nagging me at the back of my mind for awhile now, and what with the ubiquity of touch screens these days i thought i should comment on it.
It seems to me that a major problem with touch screens on tablets, and other portable devices, is the soft keyboard. on a regular pc or laptop we have the basic qwerty keyboard that we all grew up using. But with soft keyboards on touch screens you can only touch one key at a time, there is no definition/feel to the different keys. How can we every have true typing on a touchscreen keyboard if every time we get ready to type (like we do on regular keyboards, by laying all 10 fingers down on the board and only pressing down when we need to select that letter) we end up pressing all ten keys at once or worse the touch screen doesn't understand what we are trying to do.
In essence the only solution i can think of on today's touchscreens is to hold your fingers slightly off the screen and just touch it when you need the letter, but in this case you lose all spatial feel of where your fingers are in relation to each button, is "hen-pecking" or some sort of swype typing the only answer?
If you have an answer to my question, I would be glad to hear it, for this is a major reason i haven't gotten a tablet myself yet.
