There is lots of space wasted. Why hasn't he put the key lines together<br>
inverted to each other?<br>

The article says "that each triangular key has significantly more dead space<br>
around it than you’d find on a standard Qwerty layout. Consequently, users<br>
are more likely to press the correct key each time they tap."<br>
<br>
IMO, he is just trying to make easy money, he claims that his patented<br>
technology is soooo cool and ask apple to "help" him. meaning : paying to<br>
use this.<br>
<br>
I haven't try to look further, so I may be wrong, maybe triangle key really<br>
improve error rate.<br>

agreed - not on a touchscreen. on a physical kbd... maybe, as you are more<br>
likely to be able to feel were the key is as you have 2 edges (left and right)<br>
closer and more likey to be under 1 fingertip and "feelable". but absolutely<br>
not a touchscreen.<br>

For Comparision sakes, illustrated a key-press on both.<br>
I really don't see any advantage ... or is it just me.<br><font color="#888888">
