alt Hacker NewsDo we really wanna go back to using keyboards? Like Steve Jobs said, the keyboard shouldnt be visible when not in use, but I dunno, seems more like a niche nostalgia product

At least on the iphone, the onscreen keyboard has gotten worse with every release, so I guess maybe something new is in order.
Jobs said a lot of things designed to make his tchotchke look better than the other guy's. He said he couldn't use a Samsung 8 inch tablet without filing his fingers down, while working on the iPad Mini at that same exact time.
