A netbook’s cramped keyboard vs iPhone’s virtual keyboard… in a rally car
CNET’s Crave TV takes the ultra-small, ultra-portable netbook to task against the iPhone. Surely an every day scenario, typing out a message while riding shotgun in a rally car racing around the track.
The for-fun demonstration gives insight into what it may be like using a netbook, with notoriously cramped keyboard, while actually moving. It is a portable computer, right? Well, it was an epic fail while the iPhone worked liked a champ. Check out the video at CNET UK.
V. interesting, while I think that I'm quite adept at typing on the iPhone, I would have thought a netbook would be better - even just in two-finger hunt-and-peck mode.

Firstly he's not a rally driver as he's in the passengers seat.
Secondly, it's a RALLYCROSS car and they DO NOT HAVE PASSENGER SEATS installed.
Geeez, will people do a proper check of the 'facts' beforehand!
Thirdly, a true comparison would be to of used '2' touch screen phones like the HTC Touch Diamond and the iPhone.
Rant over, Like the car though awesome power of Rallycross cars.
