So most tech sites agree that the iPhone has one of the best (if not THE best) virtual keyboard out there. That may be true, but there is always room for improvements! What do u think will make it better?
A pet peeve of mine is the limitations of the autocorrect to only apply when letters are pressed. Frequently I will hit the shift key instead of "a" or the spacebar by mistake. Or miss the spacebar when I was trying to hit it. Autocorrect doesn't do anything in these situations.
Also, I wish there was a quicker way to type ": )" and other emoticans or characters. I wish we could simply swipe across the keyboard, left or right, and ten an entirely new "custom" keyboard would pop up. This could include commonly used symbols, sets of symbols, or even entirely new emotions. This swiping could also possible be used to access the secondary and terciary keyboards that are already on the iPhone. I know apple isn't too likely to let us customize our own keyboard, but I think I would like it.
What do u think about that? Anything else you would like to see? Swype? Blindtype?
