Comment Dvorak (Score 1) 55

I find using Dvorak on smartphones and tablets to be much more comfortable and efficient. I never could touchtype Dvorak on a regular keyboard as well as I can touchtype QWERTY, but since typing on smartphones and tablets basically requires the user to hunt-and-peck, Dvorak really shines in this environment, even for someone whose brain is wired for QWERTY.

Back in the Vista days, I used a convertible HP tablet with a capacitive screen until the heat sink on the GPU broke loose and the entire machine roasted itself to death. But shoddy construction aside, I discovered during the time I owned it that having a touchscreen was occasionally useful as an auxiliary control device. I'd even pay a little extra for the feature as long as it didn't reduce the image quality of the screen as this HP did (because of the extra layer required).

Do I want to be forced to use a touch screen because some myopic corporate jackass found his new shiny rock ? Hell no. But sometimes it is useful for pushing submit buttons or for selecting icons and stuff.
