A Typing Lesson

Well, it seems like the main thing that I'm catching these days in the area mobile technology are keyboard news and reviews. I'm writing one, I have a rant in progress about the whole concept, and now Pocket Now has a wonderful comparison article. If one of them would just work right all the time without any hassle, I'd be really happy. Alas, this is another rant for another time.
The good folk(s) over at PocketNowhave a really nifty article comparing the hardware input options for the iPAQ devices.
"In all, it's great to see so many great keyboard options out on the market, though none is perfect. I think the SnapNType is about as close to perfection as it gets due to the key size, useful software, and elegant design. The Stowaway is a must have for serious document editing where you might want to use a laptop, but for most situations that I find myself in where I need quick text input, I don't have the luxury of a flat surface. Finally, the Micro keyboard, while it feels great and the keys are very well designed, the individual keys are too minuscule to allow for accurate typing."
What do you think the perfect (realistic) input solution is?
