The method for typing the letter ‘Z’ or punctuation seems less like satire, and more like the way many people actually enter text on their cell phones…

What’s interesting about these kinds of spoofs (Saturday Night Live has done a similar take on the iPod/iPod nano), is that they may not look like satire in a few years (okay, the user interaction will be different, but the size of the device itself may not be far off). Consider storage devices, which have gone from the size of the “user’s manual” in this video to the size of the Mactini over the last, what, 15 years?
