How to hold an Apple press conference
july 2010 by bkerr
Steve Jobs will come out on stage and will sit in front of a large olde tyme cash register. He will immediately begin taking questions from the assembled journalists and bloggers. As the first-question scrum begins, Jobs will start madly ringing up purchases on the very loud register while pointing to his ears, shaking his head, and shouting "gosh, I'm sorry I can't hear you guys over the sound of the register". This will continue for several minutes and then the press conference will be over.

Yes, but who cares? My DS experience implies that homebrew onscreen keyboards are the worst. Each one worse than the one preceding it.
