Touchscreen Keyboard solution.

8pen represents a completely different approach to keyboarding on a touchscreen interface. After watching the video, I’m not sure it would be as easy to use as indicated.

Info from the 8pen site:

The 8pen allows for the replacement of the conventional keyboard on all devices capable of detecting gestures, in particular mobile phones with touch screens, modern remote controls or game controllers. Its advantage lies mainly in the fact that it is possible to input text faster than using conventional layouts on small devices, while at the same time mimicking human hand-writing. Moreover, the simplicity of the gestures involved greatly reduces the problem of mistyping that frequently occurs with the classical layout due to the lack of space. For the same reason, it is possible to write without viewing, as only the central region is needed as a reference for starting and ending a movement.

Apparently 8pen will be available for Android 2.2 tomorrow. Is this Nov,2 2010 then?
