Full-screen Pocket PC keyboard app lets fingers type

This might help to solve the small input device problems with usability ...

"Spb Software House is shipping a major upgrade of its full-screen keyboard application for Pocket PCs. Spb Full Screen Keyboard 3.0 supports Windows Mobile 5.0, and features an ergonomic keyboard layout along with a "self-learning algorithm" that dramatically reduce the number of typos, according to the Russian company.

Full Screen Keyboard covers the entire Pocket PC screen area, and has keys large enough to be typed with finger-tips rather than with a stylus, according to Spb. The company says that extensive usability testing has shown that the leading cause of typos, when typing with thumbs, is a user's individual typing manner along with device-specific screen-press handling. To remedy this, the company says it developed an algorithm that "learns" a user's typing style over time, and compensates accordingly."   continued ...   (Via WindowsForDevices)
