Add a touchscreen keyboard that users can touch the screen for the letter they want to type. This could be used to name tracks, i/o, memory location etc. It would enable the users to finally get rid of the keyboard as they would be able to do it from the surface it self.

If cell phones can have a touchable keyboard to write texts, emails ect.. I'm sure it can be done for the S6 too.

I wonder how hard it would be to implement. S6 uses Windows 8, which has an on-screen touch keyboard out of the box.

It already uses the Windows 8 touchscreen keyboard. Maybe change your idea to expand it for more uses.

Ah.. I had not seen it in the features list.

It's not obvious that there is a touchscreen keyboard. I used a connected keyboard to name things for 3 days before I accidentally double-tapped a text box and the keyboard popped up. I was extremely happy to see it!

This should get a bit more spotlight then so that people do know about it :D

To be fair, the manual talks about the touchscreen frequently. I just don't recall a place where it explains how to pull it up. Once you do it once, it seems obvious.

I think being used to iOS devices, I expected the keyboard to pop up with one tap. I guess it's common with Windows to require two taps.
