 2 : I don't understand how predicive those two keyboards are. For me
 predictive would mean suggesting the n+1 (or n+p) character when I have
 pressed n keys. At the moment the only thing it does is suggesting
 several combination of n keys, to correct some typos I would have made.
 It's very annoying since the word I correctly typed isn't necessarily
 displayed among those suggestions. Is that how a predictive is
 supposed to work or am I missing something here ?

 with illume's keyboard (my one) in the latest illume's you get a dictionary. 
 it
 should be possible to create a french dictionary - take /usr/share/dict/words
 from your desktop (i assume you have a french one) and:

How different is your keyboard from the Qtopia 'predictive keyboard' -
I don't have a FR yet - so I can't try them out. It sounds, from the
gestures that people describe and the images I've seen that they are
remarkably similar. The Qtopia one is the best touchscreen keyboard
I've ever used
(tried it on an A780 w. OpenEZX...) so I'm curious :)

Do you work out probabilities in a similar way to them? Can you switch
off the predictive and use 'normal' mode?

If it is not vastly different, I'm interested to know the reasons you
chose to make a separate one (not in an accusing aggressive way! Just
out of curiousity - I assume there's a good reason :)

OpenEinstein Newton emulator - Working?

[Who]

The OpenEinstein Newton Emulator (http://code.google.com/p/einstein/)
work on the Nokia n800, N770 and old Sharp Zauruses - I wonder if
anyone has tried compiling it for the Neo1973/FreeRunner - have they?

Is there any interest? The large screen seems perfectly suited to a
Newton Emulator and the Newton UI really is awesome to behold - just
so intuitive!

The other reason I'm interested is that it has really good handwriting
recognition - which the Freerunner lacks, as far as I know.

For me it's all about the fact I've NEVER found a device that could
approach my Psion for functionality! Hopefully with OM I will get
something!

I'm dreaming of being able to fit a keyboard (perhaps an old one from
my Psion) and make a real Psion-like device - with some proper
software - a really small rtf editor, mini excel, the like - and (the
only thing the Psion lacked) mobile email and browsing! Part of me
wants to put the OM inside and old Psion case - but I think that might
just be more trouble than it's worth!
