Re: 8pen input device

Played with it for 15 minutes on my Android phone. Cool concept and easy to
learn. I doubt however whether it'll be even half as fast as the on-screen
qwerty keyboard (I use the HTC_IME mod which is a bit more powerful than the
stock Android keyboard).

8pen has special character support: long press when you've selected your
character. After a while the special characters show up. The funky ones Edi
mentioned aren't included though. On a side note, they are included in the
HTC_IME keyboard: ščł cost about 2 seconds each, also using long press.

About the shift key: 8pen supports capital keys by putting more pressure on
the screen. Innovative, I've never seen an app do something with the amount
of touch pressure, besides drawing apps. Didn't work very well for me on the
first try.

I won't keep using 8pen, but it's a nice alternative if double-thumb typing
is not your thing :)

Cheers,
Aron
