I'm afraid it's not a setting, I checked, I just have more web search results that are similar to my search term. If you'd use the search feature more you'd see. Anyways, I built an app that fixes that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextstages...
That's exactly my point, of course it's working for me, I've never had an issue finding what I was looking for either, it's just super slow. The keyboard does not open (like you mentioned), recent web searches and websites appear above my own content. Just makes everything so slow, so I eventually swipe away at my app drawer or my contacts' app to find stuff, which is so 2001...
It does! Don't you have any other contacts in "b" ?
The fact you're not using it is the ultimate proof, on iPhone it was super useful. And no way you "know where everything is" I bet you swipe for 30 seconds every time you want to open an app that's not on your home screen...
I agree that it will be less mobile than a conventional tablet, but some people will be glad to lose a bit of mobility for desktop horse power and price
>"take that one step further and have additional cpu/gpu power in the keyboard"
that's an even better idea, but OS wise will probably cause problems. The original idea is simple enough to implement 5 years ago, I can actually take my old x61t and probably hack it myself...
