That's not to say it's the optimal method of input, but either is voice. There are use cases where writing or voice may be better than typing.
- ugh 16y agoWhile writing might be a nice additional feature, I can certainly understand why Apple didn’t build iOS around it. (In the current climate this probably also means that handwriting won’t come to iOS anytime soon.)
- slantyyz 16y agoI think we can thank RIM for that. While they were not the first, they arguably made the QWERTY keyboard ubiquitous and (for the first time) more than tolerable on a phone sized device.
