I think that two very different issues might be getting conflated.
1) "Typing into the Journal" eReader application from an external keyboard is currently not possible, but may be enabled in a future update (this was what Boris was referring to, I believe);
2) Imposing a touchscreen keyboard onto the eInk screen and then "Typing ONTO the Journal" has been suggested a few times, but that's technologically impossible given the limitations of the eInk screen. If the eInk were another LCD or one of those new eInk/LCD hybrid screens that just came out, then the idea might be possible (basically, you could rotate the LCD and have a self-contained netbook-type setup). But there is no way to effectively utilize a conventional eInk screen in such a manner and no amount of software engineering will be able to resolve that limitation.
