Hey andrew!

 ac> On a phone, half the screen is taken up by the onscreen keyboard.

The one screenshot I saw it was just a tad under half.  I was not amused.  :-/

 ac> the Ctrl key on Android doesn't work the same

The heathen bastards!!!  That sounds like a deal breaker to me.

Now that you mention it I forgot to check if the onscreen keyboard actually had
a ctrl key.  All I remember now is it was frugal key-wise nevermind if it is
actually useful.

 ac> Using an external (USB or Bluetooth) keyboard can help

Is that doable?  From reports I've heard not much in the way of usb based
hardware actually works on those types of devices.  From my perspective it
wounds like it could be a software issue but also could be a chipset
limitation.  I have never been curious enough to lay down the cash to find out.

Life is good,
Maurice
