I think he says that there is no way for the N800 to know when to show and when to hide the virtual keyboard. That is true, but only a minor problem. We can leave it to the user to show and hide the keyboard as needed. Toolkits like Gtk+ can provide extra hints to the keyboard, but if there are no hints coming, the user should still be able to show and hide it explicitly.
