I have concerns with moving the address bar all the way down to the top of the keyboard: depending on the viewing angle, your fingers might cover your line of sight to the address bar, and you might accidentally touch the address bar while typing, causing you to change the cursor point or select text and overwrite the current text. How about we split the difference down the middle...and move the address bar to the middle?

I too wouldn't move the text area towards the keyboard, but the other way around: position the keyboard just underneath the text area.

I suspect moving the keyboard would cause muscle strain and the unpredictability of its location (system wide) would be frustrating.
