Morse Code on Cell Phones?

Posted by timothy on from the rotary-dial-too dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a recent showdown, veteran Morse coders were able to send SMS messages faster via Morse than the fastest thumb-typists. What about embedding support for Morse code directly into handsets? This article on O'Reilly Network floats the idea of using Morse code to compose text messages, as well as tapping commands (i.e. answer call, forward to voice mail, etc) in hands-free mode by tapping on the handset case."

    You mean, quadrotriticale?

    That was the grain in "The Trouble With Tribbles", was it not?

    It makes sense, right? Tribbles breed at fantastic rates when fed.

    timothy posts dupes at fantastic rates when fed.

    Somebody find a Klingon, quick! Lets' see if timothy goes squirrelly in it's presence!
