The golden era of smartphones, for me, was that time in the mid 2000s when we had Windows Mobile, Palm, and BlackBerry devices all competing at the same time — complete with their resistive touchscreens and physical keyboards. That all changed in a heartbeat when the iPhone was introduced in 2007, catapulting us into a new age that effectively made QWERTY keyboards obsolete.
It’s funny how things happen because the Clicks Keyboard for iPhone intends to make keyboards a thing again — and the accessory may be Steve Jobs’ worst nightmare come to life. The Clicks Keyboard isn’t necessarily trying to steer people away from using touchscreen keyboards, but rather, it’s meant to make the typing experience a bit more intuitive.
