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