Sorry to continue something off-topic, but a serious albeit random
question:

Can someone explain to me why all these PDA companies are including
keyboards and then using the QWERTY design? It seems essentially
impossible to use touch-typing, particularly given that they're
designed for the thumb, so why are they using a design originally
intended to slow the user down and lives on solely for touch typists?

Or am I just ranting?

Cheers,
Rich
