On the subject of android phones, only a small selection of them and other<BR>
smartphones/tablets actually have keyboards. Surely item #7 for having <BR>
keyboard accelerators for every function is a bit of a misnomer if you are<BR>
talking about State of the Art? This is definitely not a must have. Computing<BR>
is changing and the keyboard, as useful as it is for some users, is very `last<BR>
century`.<BR>
