Sideways Review
Programs provide landscape keyboard for composing e-mails
by Dan Frakes, Macworld.com
Since Apple released the first iPhone in June 2007, a frequent complaint among users has been the lack of a landscape keyboard in more applications. Users got a taste of this wider, larger-button keyboard in the mobile version of Safari and wished they could use it for text entry in other scenarios. Composing e-mail is easily the most-common example; after all, with the exception of those in the SMS crowd, more typing time is spent in Mail than in any other app.
