What type of keyboard do you see yourself using 5 or 10 years from now? Will it still be the standard QWERTY style or will it be something more like FrogPad? Currently, I am testing the latest version of Calligrapher to see if I can replace my keyboard altogether.
An interesting commentary about what we have now and what is coming in the form of keyboards can be found over at C/Net News. Michael Kanellos, asks us, what about The Keyboards of Tomorrow? "Although the keyboard is smaller than traditional models, the keys measure the same--19 millimeters across. "That's for the big American SUV hand," said Linda Marroquin, FrogPad's chief executive. "We want to do everything with one hand. How are you going to do that with 104 keys?
Another device maker, Canesta, has begun to ship the components for its virtual keyboard to handset manufacturers. The device uses a laser image of a full-size keyboard that translates finger movements into keystrokes."
