    For the iPad a familiar concept already exists as app:  www.TypeWay.com


     


    The keys automatically adapt to typing habits and finger positions.

    Useless. This is a fundamental GUI design no-no. You do not change the size or position of the click/touch target on the user. Apple broke the rule already once before when they released OS X with resizing and moving dock icons during mouse roll-over. OS X violated so many of Apple's precious UI design rules. They got slammed by many designers in the media for it, while everyone else went oooo and aww at the lickability Steve had demanded. It's taken half OS X's lifetime to undo these useless eye candy choices and settle into the useable OS it is today.

    lol ... you're right.  Very observant!    They put a second "Q" in place of the "U".

    The only keyboard issue I have on my iPad is in "Messages". The send button is too small. I rarely get it 1st time.

    I sometims hit the send button instead of the letter O or P. I think they should replace the top Edit button with the Send button, because there's no reason to edit your dialogue while typing a new message.

    My sole complaint with Messages is that it doesn't behave in iOS as it does in OS X. 

    Return in iOS starts a new line. Return in OS X sends the message.

    Option-Return for OSX. And yes, it is non intuitive.
    Full screen keyboard would be nice.

    To accomplish what, keys 2 inches high?
