The average quantity of the mistakes made during input of the text on iPhone, almost four times exceeded the quantity of typing mistakes on a usual mobile phone - 11 mistakes on iPhone instead of three mistakes on a usual mobile phone.
I think the results of this testing are not correctly declared, User Centric has found out that typing speed on Apple iPhone is two times slower than on a QWERTY-keyboard, but i think that typing speed on mobile devices with QWERTY-keyboard is only half times faster than on Apple iPhone…
