New Keyboard app 8pen

Found this article on a new keyboard which is supposedly coming available tomorrow. 

Interesting, may give it the ole college try.

Pffffft... uninstalled. It shouldn't take me 2 minutes (literally) to type "hello, how are you".

Went to market and see that it is a paid app.  I thought for sure they were going to offer a free trial period first, then purchase to continue to use.

Read too many negative comments on 3 sites so far, so skipping this one for now. 

I think a lot of negative comments stem from the fact that it is different and there is a huge learning curve. People just do not want to have to relearn a keyboard (as I didn't). Like I said, I uninstalled after playing with it for about 30 minutes. It was just too much for my hand eye coordination. I think it is an excellent concept, and people with large hands could benefit from this because of the gestures instead of having to tap the tiny letters IF those people want to take the time to relearn how to type.

I think a good way to learn this would be to have a paper outline so the user can easily see where the letters are.

I personally like the compact qwerty keyboard, but Pink Tazz doesn't offer it... =( I usually turn the phone sideways because the keys are bigger that way.

Finally the devos of this app got smart.  The app is now free in the market, so you can give it a try for FREE!  Just downloaded and will see if its a keeper or a dud. 

If you don't start the post, we would never try it.

Thats funny because I have basically stopped using swype the past couple of days and found I can type faster than swyping.  Plus I am sik of swype not being able to predict my swyped words correctly and takes more time to get a dang text out.
