Hey there,
This thread have some interesting other key input systems as well and I like David's demo > http://dave.hereticmonkey.com/musings/phone_keyboard.html but correct me if I would be wrong - this are only single touch concepts.
They are single touch concepts, but I think that's important for a phone. I think that the text input system for a phone should still work when the user only has one hand available. I see people using their phones like this all the time. They might be standing on the bus, with one hand holding a railing, and the other holding their phone. They might be walking somewhere while carrying luggage or holding something in their other hand. In all these cases, they've only got the use of their thumb to press the buttons. Then again, it's possible that the advantages of using multi-touch for text input will be so great that it's better to just use it and have a different keyboard mode to drop into if you only have one hand available. I am really looking forward to trying this out when somebody codes it up. :-) Sincerely, Dave _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community
