Hi there, here we go, first mailinglist post :) It has been often argued that it will not be easy to use a touchpad-only phone if one does not see the displayed keyboard because of the lack hard-buttons you can actually feel and touch. Textmessaging therefore needs complete focus on the phone's display and you can't write or adjust anything on your phone without looking at it. Idea: Why not have a one-finger-fix and four(or three)-fingers-write input? With all five or four fingers on the phone's display, one(maybe your little finger or thumb) defines a fixpoint on the display. The other fingers now can be put on certain points at relative locations to the fixpointing finger(several input method ideas can be implemented from here on). This way one would not be dependent on absolute positions of a displayed keyboard one would not be able to feel, but one would be able to create those points by pointing a finger there. I acknowledge that there would be several implementations problems coming up, like how to change between a fixed-finger-input-method and a fixed displayed keyboard and menus. minime/tim _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
