Finger Slide Touch Keyboard
 

Awhile ago I saw a company came out for an interesting keyboard method for the iPhone. They said they were working on a Windows Mobile version, but I can't remember the name of it.

Maybe one of you can refresh my memory....

The idea was a touch keyboard that if you wanted to spell the word "What" you would start at the W and slide your finger (without picking it up) to the h, then the a, finally the t and let go. It would then recognize the word pattern for you.

I think this keyboard idea would greatly help us out on typing on the Diamond.

Have you tried?

I like the stock keyboard. I used it on my Mogul for the free trial. I use my fingernail, so I didn't think I needed it.

I just wish someone would come out with one that has over sized buttons. I could care less if it covers up what Im typing because the t9 shows the word that i typed and if I messed up, i could just lower the keyboard. Especially in landscape mode where there is more room on the screen. Guess I should go to college and learn software development so I can do it myself or just wallo in my own pity. Lol.

The demoed it on a Diamond at about half way of this presentation. Looks very promising.

Thanks for the suggestion on swype, but there was a different company that had a very similar product. I remember seeing it linked somewhere when it was released for the iPhone.

The company had a website showing it's use (similar to swype) and it said it was working on a windows mobile version.

Might be ShapeWriter.

got an invitation to beta test. Went there and downloaded the beta link. After I installed it, it still asked me to shell out to register the keyboard.

I wrote them, gave feedback on the five minutes it let me use it, but to this day, I heard not a peep back from them.

Too bad, sounded like a great application. But before I pay for it, I would like to know the software is supported and I would like to use it for more than 5 minutes.

Didn't even get to try it in landscape before the time was up and it reverted back to the regular "keyboard", the tiny one on every pda. Then all froze - had to uninstall.

Maybe - in the future....
