Didn't buy the ipad2. NOT buying the new ipad. No Dvorak keyboard layout. Seriously Apple? Come on!!!
If I wanted it as a hardware option I would just buy a laptop.
Are you claiming it's less popular than AZERTY and QWERTZ?!?
I have no clue.
Yet you said, just a couple of posts above this, that you were "merely stating facts." So come on, put up or shut up -- what facts are you in possesion of? What are the relative market shares of DVORAK, AZERTY and QWERTZ? Do tell.
Unlike you, I'm willing to admit the limits of my knowledge.
So you have no facts. As I thought.
Yes, I have facts and I have stated them. However, I am not in the habit of lying. When I do not know the answer to a question, I state that I do not know the answer. What do you do when you don't know the answer?
Why do you keep changing the subject? We're talking about adding the DVORAK layout to the iPad. You've pretended to know how many people need this, yet you turn aside when I ask for the stats.
Grow up. I have no more time for your foolishness.
As I expected. When the discussion turns to hard facts, you bow out, having only an opinion.
But let me be very clear about this, in hopes that you decide to participate in an adult fashion. You have stated several times with great clarity that you feel the DVORAK keyboard layout appeals to such a small market that it's not worth Apple's time to add it. Yet they have added the AZERTY and QWERTZ layouts. So you must therefore have knowledge -- not opinion -- which tells you that DVORAK has a smaller market share than either of AZERTY or QWERTZ. I have asked you to share that knowledge with us, and you have refused.
"I'm not defensive. I'm merely stating facts. Unfortunately for the Dvorak enthusiasts, it's not sufficiently popular to justify any effort."
"Are you claiming it's less popular than AZERTY and QWERTZ?!?"
"I have no clue."
Way to go smartypants, pulling the rug away from under your own feet.
Please leave this discussion until you have a clue, goodbye (and please let it be your third and final one)
Next time I'll invent an answer and make you happy.
No, next time keep quiet and keep on scrolling.
Just keep quiet man, you're adding nothing but irritation to this discussion.
Sincerely
Have a nice day!
What about Freedom of Choice?
It's no big deal creating and making the layout available. It's available on Cydia, and the main reason I have
for jailbreaking the iPhone.
It's aesthetically pleasing if you enjoy efficiency. I think if you're too busy to look into it - fine.
The idea that since the majority use QWERTY there is no reason to try Dvorak could be applied to Operating Systems? We should all be using M$ Windows -- right? Because the majority do.
Just got my new iPhone 5 to do Beta testing of a new app -- can't wait till Cydia becomes available. Till then, I carry two phones. The jailbroken one with Cydia and Dvorak. and the shiny one without a sim, and the new app.
Do what you wish. No one has forced you to purchase Apple products.
No software Dvorak Layout!?!?
