It's funny that you mention that - that's just what I got on the iPhone today when I was downloading an application. The character I just typed was visible until a) I typed the next character or b) 1 second or so went by. I see THAT interaction being more applicable to the iPhone or other mobile devices where your keypad is directly correlated to your screen (and there are frequent errors, such as I get with my clumsy fingers on the iPhone). I don't know that it works as well with a desktop app where you are using a keyboard and would be typing too fast to really get that recognition unless the characters stayed up for a much longer time. -- Marty DeAngelo ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
