I was actually hoping the keyboad/keys would be a bit bigger on landscape, given the extra real estate. Nope. Methinks user-adjustable sizing would be perfect.

Yes it is too small. In my case, I find it easier to use in landscape. Get more errors in portrait.

I do have another suggestion. It would be helpful if Apple would use the same little popup letters present on the iPhone keyboard after pressing a key. While I agree the keys are too small, making them much bigger will force the thumbs to travel too far. That's why I think popup letters could be helpful IMHO.

A little small, but I'm getting used to it. I like it though!

I tried a friends iPad with the new split keybopard and yeah, its a little small. I think the other thing is that I seem to be able to type pretty fluently using just my right hand while holding the iPad with my left hand. I dont expect to be doing a heckuva lot of typing anyways so this wasnt a big concern for me. If I have to type up a large docoment or do a fancy spreadsheet - I'll use my big, clunky laptop for that

Its rediculous how small it is. I dont want to feel like im typing on a phone

Yes, too small. Keep the height of a standard keyboard and reduce width slightly. Completely useless. I agree... Should be user defined. Need more options. Many more options. Where was sj on this one? Guess we'll nvr know.

The solution to the too small split keyboard is to integrate the pop up letter tabs like on the iPhone keyboard. I don't understand why they left this out. As it is it's is utterly useless for me.

Its to hard to type on. I like the general Idea of it but it does not come though.
