Instead, Steve Jobs announced that the device will include only one button on the front, and will have a qwerty-style keyboard displayed on the screen, which is meant to be easily accessible without any additional tools. That's right: no stylus ! According to what Steve Jobs described in his MacWorld Keynote address, you'll be able to easily type on the iPhone keypad with your fingers, a huge step towards on-the-go usability in mobile devices. This will vastly improve the practicality of using a handheld mobile device for web browsing and online chatting.
