The first ever dedicated smart watch keyboard
- prawn 11y agoLogo very reminiscent of Obama's campaign brand. Doesn't really seem in keeping with the product, style-wise.
- notsony 11y agoI noticed that too. Could lose 50% of the US market right there!
- bobajeff 11y agoI really like the idea of a circular keyboard for a smart watch. And yes Qwerty makes little sense on such devices since the only reason for it is all those people who trained to touch type learned qwerty which they can't do on anything but a normal sized physical keyboard. Still while using the same "button" for three characters might have some advantages using a autocorrect system I'd like to see a rotary phone dial like interface where you can reliably enter one character at a time and without heavy reliance on autocorrect.
- smilekzs 11y agoI might be asking the obvious: isn't this just T9?
- touchone 11y agoThe design is influenced from the T9 keyboard but is not just another T9 keyboard
- aaronbrethorst 11y agoYou'll have to forgive me if I express some skepticism, seeing how you could just as easily say "The logo is influenced from the Obama logo but is not just another Obama logo," which sounds utterly ludicrous. And lest you say 'but these are totally different,' I'm pretty sure that, just as the Obama for America campaign logo is a ®, the T9 keyboard is patented.
- aaronbrethorst 11y agoI really like how they're stealing^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H repurposing the 2008 Obama for America logo for their company. Although, to be fair, their logo does have one less red stripe across the bottom.

- rak 11y agoIt'd be nice to see an 8pen implementation on watches. It was a nifty take on a keyboard interface that didn't get much traction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99vsUF4NuLk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99vsUF4NuLk
