Has anyone tried this app yet on the Droid or Omnia 2? Seems interesting yet odd. But I'm kinda curious as to how it works but I don't wanna download it. =)

Yeah, I've played with it on the Omnia II. It definitely takes some getting used to. But the good news is it still works like a normal on-screen keyboard. Good to have options, I guess.

Do they have this out for droid yet?

 

[Mr.Miagi]

searched the market and nothing came up

Try Shapewriter keyboard

 

[Mr.Miagi]

^ Thanks for the tip. Pretty darn cool, how long does the trial last for, didnt say.

 

[Mydnightsorrow]

30 days for trial. Expensive full version but its oh so useful

I just downloaded shapewriter. I originally thought that the idea was VERY cool, and would make one handed typing much easier. Boy was i wrong! I dont like this at all! It seems much to easy to misspell a word and the predictive text is not that good. Im fine with the default keyboard for now.

Hmm....cool concept, but my accuracy went wayyyyyy down with it.

 

[Mr.Miagi]

Im pretty god with it after a couple hours, its pretty neat but i fell choppy spelling because the word pops on the screen at once lol

It's a very interesting concept. I tried it earlier today and boy is it a change, definitely takes some getting used to. Although, I find that I'm not nearly as accurate now as on a normal keyboard. I might keep at it through it's trial period and see how good I get at it before making a full decision.

 

[Mr.Miagi]

been using it for a day or two now and getting pretty quick with it, not having to hit the spacebar speeds things up too. I also find I can type faster the normal way on this keyboard as well, however hitting the spacebar is a little harder. I was gonna try better keyboards but this may do the trick.
