Touch your inner ring finger with your thumb.
That's the place to put it, and it could be sold as, you know... a ring, instead of a giant fake fingernail that makes it look like you had your thumb surgically replaced with a big toe.
What I'd really like to see is a novel mobile method of text entry. The first company to sell something that lets you efficiently type on the go without involving a tiny QWERTY keyboard is going to really make a difference in how we use tiny devices.
I've always wondered if it would be effective to try and determine virtual letter presses based on subtle "air typing" finger movements tracked with accelerometers or something. I might be willing to don goofy bluetooth fingernails for that kind of functionality...

- RubyPinch 11y agoSorry for sounding like a shill for this comment. as far as typing on silly surfaces, minnum has personally had my eye the most. tl;dr make the keyboard 1 dimension, and then use excessive prediction to correct the issues with that. combining that with a watch with a distance sensor (up along the arm), you then would have a keyboard and trackpad in the space of a watch. http://minuum.com/future-of-wearable-typing/ http://minuum.com/future-of-wearable-typing/ for explanation
