>> "I don't know about others, but for me being significantly slowed down with typing is frustrating. And I hope to believe I'm not an outstandingly slow with touchscreen keyboards..."
Just anecdotally watching people type I think that the general consumer who isn't typing on a real keyboard all day, is actually much quicker on a phone. Look at teenagers - they spend much of their day communicating on a phone hence they get quite good at typing on it. I'm shocked at how quickly a lot of people I know reply to me from their phone. So I don't think it's that you are outstandingly slow, just that you and I spend a lot of time using real keyboards so we can use them efficiently and a lot of other people spend most of their time using touch keyboards and can use them more efficiently than us.
