Apple’s iPhone 4 has come under the spotlight with a number of left-handers unhappy with the design of the handset

Agnes Maria Forsthofer, a member of an association for left-handed people in Germany, pointed out that 'there are essentially no devices fitted for left-handers.'
Even standard devices like a mouse or keyboard have some pitfalls for left-handed users.
According to News24, Barbara Sattler, who heads an information centre for left-handers in Germany, pointed out that the 'number pad for example is difficult to use with your left hand'.
"There are only a few keyboards where the number pad is on the left side," Sattler said.
Sattler suggested that left-handers should rather get a separate number pad with a USB connection, like those available for laptops.
