Watch this guy type on his iPhone! At first I watched this video without sound and I was thinking to myself “this HAS to be sped up.” But I watched it again with sound and I was amazed.

According to him, “...the main reason why you can type so fast is because the accuracy of the phone is amazing, it has a technology integrated called capacitive touch screen as opposed to resistive. Capacitive picks up electric signals feeding through your body; where as resistive it’s pressure sensitive.” Apparently, he even submitted his speed to Guinness Book of World Records to try make it official. Watch this video of him hitting 81wpm! more...
