I just watched the Google Video and I found it to be a very cool item.  The
one-handed aspect of typing with Dasher is useful but I think that using a
finger or stylus would be more accommodating -- tilt control (if we had it)
could possibly make the screen unviewable, and in/out with the single button
might override (or be overridden by) whatever that button's default action
is.

Another option, with our high-res screen, could be a dasher-like
implementation but be more touch-based, i.e. the most likely letter is next
and colour-coded and layed out pretty identically, etc, but rather than
navigating to the next letter with an always-in-contact stylus-to-screen or
always pressed button, one would just tap the next letter with a finger or
stylus, with navigation/zoom abilities

Original poster, thank you for the link to the Google Video!
