I think there's a huge missed opportunity of learning keyboard layouts with a smartphone. You get labels for free, and it's much easier to learn how to manage 2 fingers than to manage 10 at once. But once you get proficient enough to touch type(not that touch), you can still map the muscle memory onto a physical keyboard and you will already be 80% done. The remaining 20% is locating the right key with the right finger, which will sort itself out once you start typing. I learned Dvorak this way.
