This app would interfer with Evolution!
Come on, we rely on evolution to weed out the idiots who walk & text, drive & text, etc by killing them off! This app would interfer with that process! I hope Apple doesn't allow it, this is the last thing these people need; something that would allow them to survive despite being total idiots, and reckless as well.

I do it all the time,
"... just type away and trust the intelligence of the keyboard ..." -iPhone Guided Tour Guy
I got used to if after 2 years and know where the keys are from the proximity from the side of the phone.
It's not illegal all over the world at least here in some parts of New York it it not.Not to mention illegal!
Good idea though, but is there really not enough time in the day that you can't stop for a second to send an email?!
Still, I wonder how they managed to pull this off with the SDK, I'm sure it doesn't allow you to use the camera's input as a view, except when using the special photo view controllers...
Yeah for real. If you can teach yourself to touch type on a physical keyboard, why not this one? It's not like the keys move in relation to each other at all.
Had iPhone since day one, and the keyboard's always been there, as reliable as can be! I cant for the life of me use the horizontal one though. My thumbs aren't trained that way yet.
i got it for free, and i dont think i would ever use it, the keyboard isnt see through so theres only a tiny bit which is actually see thru at the top. and u are concentrating on the words not looking at the picture. i dont get it
It's worth it only if it's free. One of the worst apps on the market; it's useless and dangerous....

I agree.
I will not try this thing for 99 cents.
Normal people don't need this
....and I'm anything BUT normal.
I'm one of those pinheads who just can't leave the email app alone while walking along the street and...yeah, I've almost stomped all over people because I haven't paid attention.
Darwin can rest easy: with this app in place I won't be joining him anytime soon.

Until you've been to Japan, you don't know how bad the whole "emailing and walking" phenomenon has become.
On any given street in Tokyo, there are literally dozens of idiots who have their eyes glued to their cell phones as they walk or bike down the sidewalks, with absolutely no regard to what is in front of or around them.
Even worse are the morons who are staring at their phone displays as they walk up or down the jam-packed, very steep stairways in the train stations.
This sort of behavior endangers not only the phone user, but everyone around him or her.
I've been known to "accidentally" bump against several of these clowns, knocking their precious phones out of their hands and onto the hard concrete at the bottom of the stairs. Just doing my small part to clean up the streets.
Seriously, this has become a public health issue in major Japanese cities. Public officials have even begun suggesting that such behavior should be prohibited by law. It's become that bad.
