I average 50 on my iPhone, and 100 WPM on my laptop. Sorry, I just don't believe you're faster on your iPhone than you are at typing on a full keyboard.
Got a tip for us?

After seeing your other responses in this thread I'm going to add the following items for you:
- Friends
- Soap
- A girlfriend
- The common sense God gave a duck
when did i ever say making claims is useless. Did i call out any of your other claims. No. Did i call out this claim before you started arguing like a mad man. No. I don't understand what you are saying. Please tell me where in my post did I say making claims are useless.
So someone who is debating there side automatically is a stupid dirty person with no friends?
also while your at it, please tell me how an iPhone is a practical way to write a complex higher education essay.I'd really like to know.
I think pretty much everyone knows you don't have to carry around a calendar, iPod, watch, photo-album, or notepad with them if you have an iPhone. I mean, how about posting the iPhone's competitive advantages instead of the advantages that almost every piece of electronic equipment has?
I just wanted to have a 'one big list' of what the iphone replaces or almost replaces
With your lack of understanding of the "their/there/they're" concept, I'd say the "stupid" part stands nice and tall.

You may not have said it but you basically called someone out as if you have done it in the past and in that statement you pretty much said that other people can type thesis essays on the iPhone that match the efficiency of the laptops capabilities and claimed that the only reason that the replyer can't type these essays is his lack of skills in typography not the machines lack of screen space and a keyboard that matches that of a basic laptop keyboard. And you go on to prove such point by running a test that included a series of words under 4 characters. And you believed that this test somehow proved your point. I'm sorry but just admit that you can't use the iphone as a replacement for a laptop's word processing capabilities or come up with a sound argument that supports yor claims. Thank you
A "word" in WPM is defined as 5 characters which for 70 WPM calculates out to 350 characters per minute (usually alpha numeric) or ~6 char per second. The app shown in this thread is measuring characters per minute and appears to break words at each space. It is not showing true WPM.

I see you quoted me claiming that I had said something I didn't, so I hit CTRL+F and typed: "an iPhone is a practical way to write a complex higher education essay" hoping that you actually did find me saying that, but nothing came up. So I skipped reading the rest of the stuff you wrote.
are you sure about that? Seems right to me. So how many of these posts of yours should I report before you stay on topic?
word processing could also be defined as "quick note taking". in this case the op is right
Quick note taking is not the only thing that falls under the criteria of word processing. I guess you may be able to use that argument if the didn't say it replaced the laptop. Meaning you could save money on not buying a laptop. Which is more efficient for note taking and extensive writings than the iPhone. Therefore the iPhone cannot be a complete substitute for these features.
