Keyboards for Enhanced Texting

Two articles picked up online today, on keyboards which allow for enhanced texting. The first, from Cellular News, describes ATELAB research group's new cellular phone with enhanced text editing capabilities, to facilitate entering text messages and using e-mail and calender features. The innovation is an additional alphanumerical keypad that slides out from the phone. The user holds the phone in one hand and enters text with his other hand on the additional alphanumerical keypad.

The second article comes from Paul Golding's Weblog on Wireless, describing Fastap's intuitive keyoard design that enables text messages to be composed significantly faster than on existing devices with standard triple-tap keyboards.
