I haven't seen anyone compare the iPhone's keyboard to that of the
popular business phone, the Treo. It has been out for some years now
and also has virtual keys, albeit only for dialing; there are physical
keys for texting. You are expected to use your fingers or the stylus
to tap the large digital keys to dial someone, and it's quite simple.
I'm not writing this to pimp the Treo; I'm just saying that the
experience is already out there to some degree. It will be seem quite
natural to the thousands of us Treo users.
