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."

    Yet another dupe. Does the submitter actually read slashdot, or does he blindly post any story which happens to catch his eye?
