Over the years engineers have put tons of time into making the smartphone more powerful and efficient. These phones have evolved into pocket sized computers that can do nearly everything a standard desktop can do. There is one aspect of these phones that still needs major improvement: the virtual keyboard.
I have an android phone with a virtual keyboard and that means I will have to suffer through pain of typing texts and replying to emails from my Indianapolis computer consulting customers through miniature sized keys displayed on the screen. On physical keyboards you have a feel for what key you are on and can develop muscle memory to increase the typing speed on the phone; on a virtual keyboard you have to look at every key that you press and since the keyboard is on a smooth surface, there is no way to develop muscle memory.
There are several plans to increase the smartphone both for better performance and software support. Hopefully the engineers behind these ideas have a good plan to make the virtual keyboard easier to use and less irritating.
