New Cell Phone Typing Solution

merlin_jim writes "Found this article on MSNBC about a new Cell Phone typing solution. It uses silicon sensors that can recognize the "shape" of each finger. The meaning of each key changes depending on which finger you use to press it; index finger for A, middle finger for B, etc. Unused finger/key combinations can be assigned to functions like ring volume." Watch out for those pop-up advertisements on your way into MSNBC. This is an idea I never really thought about for single handed typing input. A very cool idea.

Fine, except...

...except that I use the thumb to press every key on the cellphone, holding it with the rest of the fingers.

If we have to use every finger, this means you suddenly need to use both hands just to use the phone - not a step forward.
