Weird article. "Try taking a screenshot, scribbling some notes on it, and emailing it." Well, sure, styluses are good at things suited to styluses, such as handwriting. Try taking a screenshot, writing 500 words of commentary on the UI, and emailing it -- that's going to be far easier with a keyboard. Does that mean keyboards will be the next hot accessory?
Also, when Jobs did his big reveal, many stylus-based devices had awful resistive screens ("awful" and "resistive" both being descriptive of the screen -- resistive can be good). That's what the accuracy comment was aimed at.
- jerf 14y ago"Does that mean keyboards will be the next hot accessory?" Errr.... yes? I assume you meant that as some sort of bizarre out-there statement that was obviously wrong, but I don't think it is. I'm seeing more of the keyboard covers in my local iPad users set and I doubt they are going to be an aberration for long.
- zem 14y agoI hope so. I've been using my old Nokia N900 after my touch-only Galaxy Nexus got stolen, and having the slide-out keyboard is wonderful.
