Shorthand-Aided Rapid Keyboarding

An anonymous reader writes "IBM's famous reseach lab for nanotechnology, micoelectronics and exotic science, Almaden Research Center, has released an advanced, efficient, pen-based text input method for mobile computing, that allows you to trace letters on the keyboard to enter a word rather than typing each letter individually. The new technology provides a more fluid, smooth, and natural interaction (see demo ) than tapping on stylus keyboards."

Agreed. But no matter how much I do like it it's bound to be better than the current system most PDAs use.

I can't see myself memorizing too many words over 5 letters though, even after repeated use. They tend to just look like random scribbling.
