I guess it comes down to what is more important: the convenience of the familiar QWERTY keyboard or the size of keys. Most users would likely soon complain about too small keys than about the non-QWERTY OSK."

IGMon does qwerty with big buttons and numbers. I can see how qwerty would not work great on a PDA but is it that hard to have a different OSK for the PDA install and the Carpc one?
