There has been a lot of debate as to who has the better keyboard. Is it Palm Pre’s hardware keyboard or iPhone’s on screen keyboard?

John Gruber from the Daring Fireball:

…seven years of hardware keyboard use have warped his perspective. He’s got it backwards: for 90 percent of people, it doesn’t make a difference whether the keyboard is hardware or software.

I tend to agree with this statement. I never used a smartphone with a hardware keyboard before the iPhone and within about 5 minutes of picking one up I was typing just fine. Trying to use someone’s BlackBerry has proven to me that I just can’t type on a hardware keyboard. Maybe it’s that my fingers are lazy and don’t want to push the hardware buttons, or maybe it just feels out of the ordinary needing to find those tiny keys. To contrast, the iPhone does an amazing job figuring out what I meant to push even when I’m not pressing exactly where I need to be.
