Or put the other way - How good a 2D interface is needed so one does not need a keyboard, even for Jish languages? There is a well studied predictive interface (eg Google uses it in its predictive queries) which is based on statistical properties of the input stream. Those statistics can be seeded, and/or evolved. Visual feedback can be (and has been studied) much more rich than 1D text, in a true 2D environment. If choices are easy enough, then a KB is relatively inefficient. Particularly a thumb KB:-)

Its presence would be ubiquitous. ~greg krsnadas.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
