The masses spoke. They just didn't agree with us. The majority of the devices with a hardware keyboard plain sucked though.
The marketplace demonstrates the ultimate end of democracy:

Tyranny by the majority

I was thinking about the keyboard issue in this regard,
those of us who loathe crapacitive screen keyboards
are outnumbered by about a million to one
by those who do not type so much as they 'finger' their phones.
They are barely
litret enuf 2 spel there nemes crctly,
much less compose legitimate sentences,

The fact that it is just good business to pursue the seething masses
rather than people who give a flying frak about capabilities
means we will -always- be outside the marketplace.

I have also considered it somewhat of an intelligence indicator
that someone I met had an old blackberry or other keyboard device.

Too bad we are such a difficult market segment.
sigh
