For some reason I just can't see corded keyboards as the future of small touch devices. There are lots of cool things that can be done with swipes and gestures, increasing the productivity of one or both thumbs, but unless you're just thinking about a keyboard with a bunch of thumb combinations for everyone to learn (which would look just as clunky as qwerty on a small screen) Then multi touch keyboards will only compound any problems qwerty has right now.
