cool! that was an awesome tip thanks. the only problem i see is, as said in previous comments, the letters get a bit smaller… but only compared to the full-keyboard mode.

The reason it is easier is for users holding the device in their hands. Allowing you to just use your thumbs to type. However, while the device is in a dock etc, it’s easier to just use the full keyboard layout.

probably the easiest way is pull the keyboard from both sides of the screen to split and push keyboard splits towards center to join. they’re both very natural gestures…

Split keyboard and multitask gestures are the best usability enhancements to come to iOS and the iPad, but all in all I still can’t type seriously on an iPad. If it’s more than a sentence or two for a quick email reply I’m picking up my MacBook. Same story with the iPhone, or any other touch screen mobile for that matter.
