It does this on the fly all the time. I think it is an amazing piece of code.

I was telling a guy in line at the Apple store on the 19th about that, and he was pretty amazed.

It isn't something you can see. Remember, the keyboard is just an overlay on areas of pressure sensitivity. The underlying footprint for keys changes; the landing zone expands, not the template overlay. Great coding.

*cough cough*

iPhone screens are capacitive, meaning they respond to the electrical current in your fingertips.

(Just for those that did not know, as I'm sure that up10ad already does. Just wanted to clear any confusion.)

^^ oops, yep, not thinking. "for those that did not know, as I'm sure that up10ad already does" Yep, just being an idiot. Thanks for the correction a$$hole

Oi, my bad Rick. I was trying to avoid sounding like a jerk, but apparently, I failed.

You did fine, you may have missed my wry sense of humor. I took absolutely no offense, as I obviously screwed up with the pressure reference.

When I'm in any app, I have a big lag between the time I hit the Home button to the time the home screen appears.

What gives??

Me too, plus it now seems to take a long time for a keyboard to appear and to be ready for input. Quite frustrating.

^Updating to the new 3GS will take care of that problem, it's lightning fast.
