8pen Reinvents the Keyboard For Mobile Devices

An anonymous reader submitted linkage to a company called 8pen that has a new take on one-handed input. I've attached the video if you click the link below, but it's a strange idea using outward spreading swipes that somewhat mimics handwriting. It ships for Android tomorrow, but even if you don't want to try it out, it's an interesting idea for anyone who is tired of finger tapping on a tiny screen.

This won't catch on.

There's too much hassle in learning the system and becoming proficient in it. I use Swype which is phenomenal - it's fast and hardly requires any learning if you know the qwerty keyboard.
