The problem, though, is that I am a Greek user. For short commands/words transcriber and/or the built-in keyboard are good enough. I find that Fitaly is better suited (required, really) for long texts and documents. However, almost all long heavy-duty writing I do on my PPC is in Greek.
I would love to be able to create a Greek Fitaly-like keyboard. However, Fitaly is not customizable. It's a shame really, because it is the greatest input keyboard for PDAs around.
As a comparison, I will mention the Resco keyboard. That thing is *completely* changeable. Not only skinnable, but changeable. In fact, it's completely possible to re-create a Fitaly layout with it (without the extensive sliding features though) and to assign any character to any key which can have any shape you can imagine. This is really great and welcomed for us non-latin-based alphabet folks.
In fact, I might have to do just that after seeing from v4 that Fitaly is not going into the localization/customization direction at all. It's a bit of work to create it though, and I really am short of time, and plus I would rather have the real thing, sliding features and all.
So, the question for the developers is, are you guys looking into this in the future perhaps? Or is this something that does not really interest you at all?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
