Looks cool! The Cyberdeck builts I've seen make me wonder if somebody is experimenting with alternative input methods for hand-help devices. Currently to work, you either need a decent surface to put the device and type in a normal (small) keyboard, or be condemned to use thumb-typing or slide-typing in handheld devices which is terrible for anything except maybe for writing English with a spell corrector. I guess we have chorded keyboards, but not sure how fasts those are for entering text, or if anybody has tried to combine them with a screen into a single hand-held device.

T9 was blisteringly fast with 12 buttons, a tiny screen, and a rather stupid prediction engine. I'd say we have tried it before, and it worked exceptionally well within the constraints it had. The leaps and bounds made in predictive text since then should make it somewhat viable for other applications.
