Step 1. User swips thumb/finger across face
Step 2. User taps for "center"
Step 3. User taps as if texting.
Software looks at relative position of thumb presses to determine key presses.
I imagine a practiced txt-er would be pretty "close" most of the time and the relative positions would be
easy.
Plus, you can add auditory feedback via voice or tone - and a gesture to "wipe" the last letter by dragging the finger if you misjudged the distance.
Also - a gesture that tells it the next tap is a re-center.

Yea, or just buy the one from verizon that actually has a QWERTY keyboard built-in. (It runs windows CE, but this isn't an anti-mac rant) |

I, personally, don't text. The idea came from griping I overhead from someone with the spare cash to blow on a phone. |

Text is the biz - over a billion text
messages sent each week in UK ! |

"I, personally, don't text." Yeh, and I have never masturbated. |

I don't have a mobile phone. |

I want to see text messaging done by voice input. You've got a device capable of doing both already. Add voice recognition software and there you go. |

//text messaging done by voice input//
Sort of defeats the purpose (but only sort of; there's still the 'read the message and reply when you feel like it' factor). |

<rant> Personally, I think the iphone is just a big advertising success (as with many Mac gadgets). Small is good, but for what it does/can do, it's almost too small. And it's hardly revolutionary - it's only slightly more advanced than my 3 year old HTC Harrier (not to mention the even older Palm Treo range). Mostly it's just cool gimmicks. </rant - sorry> |

4whom, no cell phone = no txt. I don't even keep IM open on my 'puter. |
