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.

    'Bullet holes' found in cockpit
    (Filed: 05/10/2001)

    THREE holes, thought to have been
    made by bullets, were discovered in a
    fragment of the cockpit of the Russian
    Tu-154 jet that crashed into the Black
    Sea, according to rescuers.

    The captain of a dry cargo carrier
    involved in the rescue reported this to
    the transportation ministry, the Interfax
    news agency has reported.

    Russian prosecutors today opened a
    criminal investigation into whether the
    crash was caused by a terrorist act.

    Other unconfirmed reports said the Sibir
    Air jet was accidentally shot down
    during military exercises in Ukraine.

    Sixteen bodies have so far been
    recovered from the crash site and taken
    to Sochi, on the Black Sea coast. The
    Sabir air company said it was also flying
    33 relatives to the town.
