Anyone seen this? I paid the 3 quid or so (5 dollars) to get beta release (not out yet) and get all future versions for free.

Any thoughts on this?

A friend showed me this about a week and a half ago, he was very excited (and paid to get into the beta too). I'm not at all sold/convinced this is the next huge thing in onscreen keyboards. I think its probably going to be really inaccurate (just because of how small it is) and to compensate it will need an amazing auto-correct/predict system. Personally I would rather hammer out some text, while swiftkey takes up half my screen, than fumble around and take much longer on a keyboard that takes up 1/5th (but maybe that's just me). Moreover, I think this keyboard will be sorta useless on other devices. I think (not sure) accelerometers are too inaccurate for this and having worked with eye-tracking I know the glasses concept is a load of crap lol.

I'm NOT saying don't support them, I'm just voicing my option and worries about the project. Its definitely an interesting idea, I'm just not sold on it yet.

If it's accurate enough it would be pretty amazing. Love the idea

It's here! Anyone else rocking this keyboard? How you getting on with it? Loving the extra screen space, few bugs to iron out. Those that missed the beta, sign up for the next stage at Minuum.com

Ha ha looks like only the submit button works.

It looks promising and an app I will likely give a try once its released. I'm glued to Swiftkey so it will be good to see how well it stacks up.

Na, me drunk/tired trying to add a screenshot. This app won't take it ATM and I'm hitting send instead of discard

This keyboard is good, taking some getting used to and not without bugs! Want to get used to it, soo much screen space
