Hi,
I'm one of the Dasher developers, and am also interested in hacking on
OpenMoko. So, getting Dasher going is fairly likely.
This pretty much means that you have to stare at the display all
the time when inputting text.
Yes, this is the main difference between Dasher and T9.
Thank you for this post chris, nice to know, that dasher was running on a so
old and slow device already.
I'm see the things like you do: Touchscreen means you always have to stare
at the device for making inputs.
Like I said - I had a nokia 7710 before and it was nearby impossible to use
it
There's always the multipress key input method:

It's low-tech, and works on all phones, since the logic is in the server. I
admit it's a bit tedious, but, ...

And it's completely not relevant, as the Neo needs an input method that
works for local apps ;)

I gotta say that I just tried the Dasher applet and after just a little bit
of practice was humming along. I am very excited that this may (will g) be
available on openMoko.

Finger Splash looks very cool and useful.
Imho a cool idea.
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]: You are right, abcde... keyboards can be used for
blind typing. But not on a only-touchscreen-phone.
I used a Nokia 7710 for about 1.5 years and typing blind was simply
impossible.
Theres no feedback at all.
Just one more thing
On my laptop I have this little joystick button in the middle of the
keyboard. If we could get a button like that on the side of the neo
phone, dasher would be great.

What is wrong with just using the stylus?
I've tried it with my Wacom tabled, Dasher works great!
If your using an on screen keyboard, you'll need the stylus anyway.

I just watched the Google Video and I found it to be a very cool item. The
one-handed aspect of typing with Dasher is useful but I think that using a
finger or stylus would be more accommodating -- tilt control (if we had it)
could possibly make the screen unviewable, and in/out with the single

This is a bit OT but, if you are using the stylus, some people may find
it more efficient to use simplified

Many fingerprint sensors that would fit where the button is have a
navigation function. They operate much like the touchstick, or a mini
touchpad, when not capturing a fingerprint. They are gaining traction in
the tablet and ultra-mobile PC market for doing scrolling and simple

Dasher is very neat, seems the method would be well suited to a wheel
button. I wonder if theres a method of entering text that would be well
suited to messaging but still handsfree. Voice recognition is the only
thing I could think of.

Imho it would be fantastic to have 2 navkeys at the right side of the phone
to use dasher in the 1D-mode.
So it could be possible to write texts using the right thumb what means
typing with only one hand would be possible.
A touchpad like seen on devices like the Cowon iAudio 6 or the Creative
I did the same thing. I had played with it in the past using the
browser applet and it really didn't do it much justice. I put it on my
pda and (after some training) and you were inputting common words, then
it wasn't that bad, but still not a super intuitive method for input,
but may be a

Dasher is only really information efficient considering the input only.
The output stream needs to be quite dense.

Sure - in theory, dasher may approach arithmetic coding in terms of
information

I was commenting on finger splash. I agree that Dasher seems
extremely stressful, more like a fast-paced video game.
