New Mobile Keyboard

Do you find the keyboard on your phone or mobile device hard to use? Even with small fingers and auto-correction technology it just isn't as seamless as it should be in this day and age. 8pen seems to have created an awesome solution that addresses the needs of consumers by providing all the functionality of a standard keyboard, with shift, delete, return, number and space keys as well as providing a layout not dependent on the size of one's screen or finger width. My favorite feature is that it goes beyond any other keyboard by allowing for shortcuts to commonly used words such as your name to be saved with unique gestures such as a triangle. This keyboard is only testable on android phones yet I hope it succeeds and spreads to all devices. Although with a patent, Apple would be forced to pay for it and advertise that they didn't think of it first - something they will most likely not be willing to do. For the thousands of aging consumers though, who constantly buy based on functionality, not having this keyboard technology on Apple devices could be detrimental to their sales.
