Typing requires the accelerometer for some functions (like undo on Apple at least).
I know I'm speaking for an older and non-Apple hill here, but why the fuck is undo mapped to a gesture?
Speaking anecdotally now, I can't remember the last time I used the undo feature on a mobile device that wasn't in an image manipulation app, and there's usually an onscreen button for that.
Shake your phone and undo everything you just typed? Faster than selecting and deleting or backspacing.
