Having never typed on a iPhone touch screen keyboard, I cannot comment on
how its newly minted technology interface will effect speed. I have not
understood that there is such a thing as an OS X Lite. Sometimes the user
has to think outside of the box just as the innovator has to and it appears
that this event is one of those times.

The OS X underpinnings were utilized to bring the Apple branded core
applications to the iPhone and the way is open for the entrepreneurial
developers to bring their new applications for its form factor. The partners
on Stage are examples.

There is much power to be learned here. Let the fun begin.
