Walt asks why there isn¹t a physical keyboard on the iPhone, when RIM and
Palm have shown there¹s a real demand for them? ³Was there no one in
Cupertino who thought that was a good idea?² Jobs¹s answer: ³No. Š Once you
learn to trust the keyboard [1], it¹s a better keyboard. I¹ll bet you dinner
that you¹ll love it.²
