The user

Brian has been in meetings all day. His Blackberry keeps buzzing with a new email as his mobile flashes up another missed call. He is a 21st Century man; a successful professional under pressure for results someone who expects a lot from others and demands everything from his technology.

As he tries to type another sly email on his Blackberry during the meeting he has that familiar sinking feeling: Why is it so frustrating to type quickly on a mobile or edit a document on the move? Why are the buttons so small? Isn’t there a better way to enter text on a mobile?

When combined with our novel and intuitive interface, the result is an efficient text entry method providing a refreshing user experience. This technology dramatically reduces the number of keystrokes needed to enter a section of text – on average 50% less than a standard QWERTY keyboard.
