Type e-mails in landscape mode on iPhone or iPod touch

newsday.com — For all of the great features found on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, one of the big annoyances is that when you are writing an e-mail you can't turn the phone horizontally to make the keyboard bigger (landscape mode). Although Apple may fix this problem in a future software update, if you can't wait, you can download TouchType, a 99-cent program..

You'd think that the larger keys would make landscape-mode less cramped but I find that my thumbs move far less overall on the smaller keyboard, allowing me to type much quicker. I wonder how many ppl just assume that bigger = faster without actually trying them both.

    I would still like to be able to read HTML emails in landscape mode though... Apple?
