Not that great a solution from what I've seen (the additional cost aside) -- this morning, for example, I noticed an iPad user using one of them. After about 30 mins he started holding it with two hands instead, so I asked him why. He said the angle wasn't right, so he only used it when he had to "type" (with one finger). -- Best regards, John If the iPhone and iPad are really so impressive, then why do iFans keep making excuses for them?

Why do detractors that will never buy one spend all the time bitching about them even though they don't know anything about them. I have one it suits my needs that's all that counts its my money and a free country. It must be awful to be a troll for your entertainment theres a lot more in life.
