Hi, I'm one of the Dasher developers, and am also interested in hacking on OpenMoko. So, getting Dasher going is fairly likely. This pretty much means that you have to stare at the display all the time when inputting text. Yes, this is the main difference between Dasher and T9.

I gotta say that I just tried the Dasher applet and after just a little bit of practice was humming along. I am very excited that this may (will g) be available on openMoko. On 5/29/07, Chris Ball [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm one of the Dasher developers, and am also interested in
