Typing e-mails from the iPhone

Another innovative , but really useful, iPhone application has been developed. "TouchType" transforms the ordinary telephone touchpad layout, to a "landscape" keypad, in order to allow users to write e-mails easier and faster, as if they were using their laptop. The application, costs only $0.99 and has already accepted rewarding comments by users, since writing long messages and e-mails, is definitely difficult for the average adult human finger.

It is interesting how the iPhone is moving beyond the boundaries of a beautifully designed phone gadget, and evolving into a small personal computer, not only in terms of capabilities, but of generic design, as well. Some years ago, the desktop PC became portable, and the laptop was born. Our everyday tools, are becoming smaller and smaller (and music players are just computer applications now). So, can the iPhone be developed to become the new laptop? And how would that affect the way services and cooperations work? Maybe one day, because of the portability of our information and working devices, our offices and working environments will change. Access to our job matters from the palm of our hands would make our lives easier or force us to work 24 hours a day?
