portable UI tip #1

if there is a blinking caret in the field then show a keyboard. There is nothing more annoying than having to ‘repick’ the text field that is currently active, with the blinking caret

what are you thinking android? focus is something explicit, not implicit. You do not have to have an active control on a form at all times. that and the fact that the keyboard is very tough to get rid of when you want to.
