> Rick, I don't get it when you say you can tell you've made a typo instinctively by feel -- all the keys on a keyboard should have exactly the same feel. You could tell by the exact placement of your finger, but the same is true on an iPhone. Perhaps it's a bit like playing a fretted stringed instrument versus a fretless one -- people learn how to do it. (Yes you have to get the note right, but you have to have your fingers in the right place initially.)

Perhaps over time on a touchpad I would get the same 'feel' -- I don't discount that possibility.  It may just be that I'm used to the keypress feeling.  *shrug*
