I’ve been using a smartphone with an onscreen keyboard since June 29, 2007, the day that Apple released its first iPhone. In my initial hands-on report, published the next day, I wrote “my very first experiences with the touch screen were frustrating and – five hours later – I still find myself making some mistakes.”

It’s been 16 years since I wrote that article, but to some extent, it’s still true. Although there are many people (especially younger people) who can easily and quickly type on glass screens — typically using their thumbs — I am still frustrated when I have to type on the screen of an Android phone or iPhone. Because I’m not always near a computer, I do use my phone for texting and email many times a day, but if I have a choice, I’d much rather be using a computer keyboard.
