I don't even have to touch my keyboard at all for it to activate a (usually wrong) link when my fingers are hovering above it. Gads.
I have a hard time typing accurately at all on the NookColor, much as I love it for everything but that (even reading a book by dimming background light makes it doable though e-Ink is a delight in bright sunlight)).
Just got a Pocket Edge and am using it with v2.2.1, and touch scrolling is extremely unreliable on it while the keyboard is actually more accurate to use (by far) than the NookColor one, for me. Even then I have used the neat stylus that comes with it and. with that. can do highlighting with more precision. Too bad the stylus doesn't work on the NC. Oddly, I really enjoy the Pocket Edge despite its display not nealry matching the incredible NookColor screen. I think if they could have sold it for $179, say, and made a profit, maybe they'd be still be around, but then the cost of having BOTH types of screens would mean they couldn't do that.
The WiFi on the Pocket Edge has been more reliable for me than the NC's.
