          I like the distance between the keys.
          Since using a laptop I find I'm always catching the letter next to the one I want.

          The keys have no spaces between them.

              Apple do indeed think of everything. Usually how best to relieve people of their money for technology that really isn't better than that of their rivals, but is a lot more expensive, all while not quite actually making your purchase really yours. They were in trouble a while ago when it was revealed their iPhone was secretly tracking your every move and sending that data to a big database. They've also decided that they want to be able to remotely switch off your phone thus preventing you from using it, without you having done anything wrong.

                  Just to clarify: the "touch typist" comment was tongue-in-cheek; no offense intended. :)

                    I must have missed something, I see nothing that could be construed as offensive.

                    Anyway, I bet you didn't know this, but I can touch type. :)

                        That's so cynical ;) and not 100% true, with the data and what they use it for ;)

                            I hate grotty keys, when you can see which ones you've used the most!

                            Which bit isn't true?

                            In any case, they didn't tell their customers that their phones were automatically send their GPS positions over the internet at regular intervals.

                            That info is sent, or was, but anonymously. It won't say "Ellen was at Costa everyone!!" ;) info like that is only used so Costa can send me adverts. And it's not just Apple, it's all smartphones/tablets. Apple just seem to get more press because they're seen as the overly-expensive product etc. And don't forget Google also went through a phase of being in the limelight for collating data :) there'll also be some obscure wording somewhere in the ream of t&cs that 'mentions' it, it's deciphering it :/
