Steve Jobs said 7-inch screens on tablets are a bad idea. He said you’d have to shave down your fingers to type on one and some new research bears that out. I posted a link to a story about it on Twitter and got this:

If you struggle with iPhone’s onscreen keyboard, there are two things to believe that makes a difference in how fast you’ll type and how much you’ll enjoy typing on the screen.
1) The keyboard is smart.
2) Trust it to be smart.
Next time you’re going to type an email, a tweet or a text, don’t worry about touching exactly the right letter. Aim at the right letter, but if you hit the wrong one, keep typing. Go at it as fast as you can. iPhone will compensate for your misses by guessing the right word. When iPhone guesses wrong, you have to backspace, but mostly, it guesses right. As soon as you see the word you’re going for in the bubble, hit the spacebar. You don’t have to type the whole word. iPhone will insert the suggested word when you hit space. Over time, iPhone learns from your mistakes and corrections. It gets better and better the more you use it.
Type fast by aiming in the general direction of the letter you want and hit the spacebar as soon as you see your intended word in the bubble. It doesn’t take long before mistakes are few and you start to really enjoy the virtual keyboard.
