New Apple Video Spotlights Keyboard

- Keyboard learns proper names, and knows everything in your address book.
- Predictive typing means that when typing "Time" by the time you get "TIM" typed, it realizes that you are probably typing "TIME" and makes the area around "E" a bit larger, and easier to hit.
- "Magnifying glass" helps you select within text entered to make changes.

So pleased to see a '.com' button - also like how the keyboard adapts depending on the nature of the input needed.

It's getting scarey to how much R&D went into this product.

What frightens and excites me is what we HAVEN'T seen yet. I know there is more. And that is going to be what makes me giddy over my new phone.

Incredible... It seems like apple crushes everyone's criticism everyday with a new release of information. All the critics are saying how difficult the keyboard is to use, so apple releases this video, showing how easy it is to use, and how many features help you type... I can't wait for this thing to be released. Hopefully all the critics enjoy the taste of their own shoes.

That feature the increases the size of the letter that they assume you are going to use, could be amazing, or very annoying. But what are the odds of it being incorrect if you have typed in 7 letters of an 8 letter word?

I agree, for me it's often the little touches and insignificant features that impress the most.

And this here is what Apple excels at. They make the experience 100x better than how others do it, simply because 'the devil is in the details'.
