Unique texting device

posted in Other Mobile News |

The unique design by Tom Kenworthy has recently won the RSA Royal Society of Art Design Directions 2007-08 contest. No keys, no complications. A touchpad allows you to draw letters on it for input. This is how you input text: draw a letter using a finger or thumb, press either the left or right colored side button to confirm, the device will recognize the letter and display it on the screen.

As a person accustomed to typing, I find this technique slower than the regular keypads. However, this device might be a success to grand ma and grand pa who have always been familiar with hand-writting over QWERTY typing.
