I have used the full touch screen 3G smartphone A925 by Motorola since 2003, there are also A1000 an advance model.

Those smartphone works fine without the conventional keyboard, and no worry about any mechanical problem.

How about the future touch screen/pad notebook computer which also does not have a solid QWERTY keyboard, and it only provide a full flat panel with virtual keyboard for text input? Should this new design accept by customers?

Apple 3G iPhone design should be the leading in smartphone operating environment.

What a goof ball!
What a nerd!
What an ultra maroon!

OH wait, I get it. Its a joke. A pun (the lowest form of humor, right?)

A slide out keyboard for the iPhone. Ha Ha Ha. ..... I get it now. :-)

Actually a real keyboard is a great idea. As programs become available to use the power of the iPhone and its real OS, a keyboard will be a great idea. ...... Just not one of those puny tiny things that the BlackBerry uses. Sheeezzzzeee.

Take a look at the bluetooth keyboard that you can get with the Apple units. Its full sized, auto registers , is battery powered and is only slightly larger than the iPhone. If I need to type, I would hope someone (Apple anyone??) updates the OS to allow syncing an apple bluetooth keyboard to the iPhone. And since the iPhone can play movies on a tv, you could set up a small portable 9 inch screen lcd tv to be your screen. They already have those that sync to an iPhone.

Its a mostly done deal and much better than that stupid crackberry thing.

Just a thought.

Keyboard iPhone? Never!

There is a real, not imaginary, drawback to the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. Like it or not, the touch-screen is a real step forward in many ways (even if it pinches ideas from Picsel).

But you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs. And what you give up with a keyboard on screen is pretty simple: "Some of the screen is invisible."

If all you want to do is type your name into a dialog box, then who cares? You can see the box. But if you're trying to type something a little more complex, then some people will feel a need to see the screen while they type.

Well, are they right? And if they're wrong, does it matter? What matters is that people buy the iPhone, surely?

"I can't hear you!"

It's not a boat really. No sails. Noisy engine. Wave-piercing hulls (three or them). No wonder they need Sennheiser to provide noise-cancelling headsets for all the crew...

On the right track...

Traincomms... we thought it would all be about WiFi for passengers.

Apparently, that's very low on the list today - or so say delegates to traincomms 08...

For a moment, you had me going there!

:-)

Make sure I get the full release. But of course, being a PR group, you guys won't do a proper press release for your own stuff, will you?

...I'll get my coat.

Guy, My warmest greeting to you in the name of the Lord. I am writing this letter with due respect and heartful of tears since we have not known or met ourselves previously... oh wait, actually we HAVE!

Thanks for stumbling upon our Museum of Mobility History (MuMoH). We're telling the world about it formally on 4 June, but very happy that you have found it. We'll be putting up a legitimate wiki to allow people to post information about their own favorite mobility relics. People can see our blog at www.mumoh.com/blog and the wiki will be up at /wiki (and everything can be found through our home page at www.mumoh.com).

Thanks for giving us some early publicity!

Nice to see you commenting! Hope I didn't spoil the chance of a good dinner by mentioning the possibility in public...

:-)

Thanks Guy, honoured to be mentioned on your blog. Funnily enough I have had 2 invitations to lunch from Qualcomm and one invitation to a phone conversation. The phone conversation and one of the lunches were later cancelled. The other (excellent) lunch was eaten, but no reasonable answer to any of the usual criticisms of Qualcomm was put forward.
So maybe, as you suggest, San Diego is beginning to take some of the criticism to heart.
All the best,
David

How to spy on your kids...

You give them a "perfectly ordinary phone" and then...

I mean, is this a serious suggestion?

I wonder if they've taken the "fan club" off their list?

- thanks for that!

Hey, I just saw your post about Wadja and I created a new account over there (coz I really like the idea of sending free SMS) and I didn't see this guy popping up in my friends' list.
From the few things I saw the site seems cool, simple and fun.

Nearly Finnished?

I blame Richard Lander for this awful pun...

Value for Money?

How good a service do you have to offer for WiFi on a train before people will want to pay money for it?

I think "always on" is definitely worth something! - but always on and "very slow" are not an acceptable compromise. What do you think?

Yo-ho-ho!

Collecting (by quite legal means) a bunch of Intellectual Properties and charging royalties: a legitimate business? It seems several mobile companies are not happy with the arrangement.
