I've owned PDAs since the Palm 5000 in early 1996, and I tried all the alternative keyboards, from Fitaly and Atomik to MessagEase and.. something else like MessagEase. I don't remember anyone even suggesting the idea of a sliding QWERTY keyboard; there were alternate-layout tapping keyboards, and there were star-layout sliding keyboards, and those were the two sides of the debate. No?
