		+	:Do you mean [[:File:when im back at a keyboard.png\|this image]]? (And, if it is, wwhat happens when you go to that link?) Nothing immediately obviously wrong with it. I've known of iPad-taken images that don't render in other OSes (like XP's native image viewers, and one instead had to open it in GIMP and resave it to change it to some more universal colour-map, or something, that the 'old' default imageviewer now wouldn't show as all-black), so could be duelling 'image standards' not being compatible. Is it wrong for both this site and if you go to see the original at {{xkcd\|2182}} itself (''should'' be exactly the same, metadata/format-wise, but always a possibility that there's a difference).
		+	:If it's something like that, then I can't work it out myself, as I don't have an iPad myself, but it works ok in Windows (any version I have tried, from Win2K on up), and a Android (several not-that-new versions, both in browsers and standalone preinstalled image viewer). And nothing obvious when I scan the metadata in my favourite image editor. [[Special:Contributions/81.179.199.253\|81.179.199.253]] 20:20, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

	You know, a phone with a chorded keyboard could be the perfect solution. It's just the right size to hold it in your hand, and some six buttons can easily fit on the phone's sides. And the typing speed is allegedly pretty good with those. "But you don't use a chorded keyboard, do you?" The only downside is that learning to type with it would require some effort.

	:::True, and for my first smartphone I insisted on a model with a built-in keyboard (the original Motorola Droid) because I didn't trust virtual keyboards, however it was a miniature keyboard so it didn't have much size advantage over the virtual keyboard, and couldn't do things the virtual keyboard could do like changing layouts (alpha vs numeric vs symbols vs emoji), predictive choices (click here if the word you've started typing is this word), etc. Now I don't bother looking for phones with built-in physical keyboards. Looks like the Gemini you got does have close to a full-sized keyboard, at the expense of missing lots of symbol keys a "standard" keyboard would have, so you're definitely closer to the ease of using a full keyboard.

	:::My first smart phone was an early Samsung Galaxy (no number like 4, 5, whatever) with a slide-out keyboard. I LOVED that. About the size of the phone, so significantly bigger than any on-screen keyboard. Also the physical response helped when typing. Also being able to type numbers without switching keyboards. Seems like Samsung dropped the feature in future Galaxies. :( For my next phone I tried to insist on a physical keyboard, couldn't find one, ended up with a separate Bluetooth keyboard about the same size as my phone, with the downside that it randomly repeats a key with no way to stop it. (Lost and replaced twice, all 3 had this issue) So, currently without a physical keyboard and missing it, LOL! I do THIS on an iPad, whose keyboard is at least a decent size.

		+	::This comic is exactly me. Some of my highest-viewed answers on Quora are ones that I started with "I don't feel like typing this now, it's 3AM and I'm on my phone, so I'll just give a quick answer and then edit it tomorrow from my computer". Sometimes I do fix it later, sometimes I type thousands of carefully formatted words before falling asleep by 4AM with it maybe posted, then leave it that way. — [[User:Kazvorpal\|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal\|talk]]) 01:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
