Joseph Strout sent me a link to an idea he had for improving text input methods in devices with no keyboards. It sounds look a good area for experimentation, especially the pen/stylus input method. From the sounds of it you end up remembering 'gestures' for words, or parts of words, to enable faster input. The gestures are mapped to a hexagonal grid of letters optimized for the input language. 10:59:35 AM
