Here's a keyboard that not only respects the alphabet, it respects our need to implement abbreviations into out messages and IM's. For the beginners (or the one finger at a time typists) the keyboard is laid out alphabetically and is activated with a press of the 'ABC' button. Those who posses more adroit typing abilities…
