okay,i'm trying the new 5 tiles keyboard. It's a new and radically different touch screen keyboard in which there are just 5 keys, and you have to slide between them to form letters. The advantage is that it takes up only a tiny portion of the screen.
supposedly, people have achieved high words per minute, but I'm finding the learning curve rather steep. I seem to remember that it took me a while to learn to touch type. For one thing, i'm learning just how much ive come to rely on some of the features of the sliding typing, such as inserting a space after each word.
Even before the growth of mobile phones, ive always thought that modern technology could do better than the typewriter keyboard as a way of entering text. Something different like chording keyboards could surely work better.
I think this keyboard could be superior to Blackberry style thumb typing. But i won't be quitting slide typing for it. The ultimate keyboard is yet to be created.
