Dunno if anyone read these articles about using a chorded 6-finger input
system to type on a mobile device. It would seem that it should be much
faster to input this way but they haven't done real testing/analysis on
this. It also requires holding the phone sideways with the screen
pointing away so you can put three fingers on three dots on either end
of the screen. I've always been in favor of 'universal design' where
everybody uses the same basic UI so this seems to go against that. At
the same time, if it were 2-3x faster than the current on screen
keyboard input, maybe it would be worth it.
