Finger sized keyboard

I think that "finger typing" is here to stay (e.g. the HTC Touch has a minimal and bad stylus and the new HTC HD doesn't have a stylus at all). I would certainly love to see a finger-typing fitaly.

The size of the keyboard is of course difficult with many screen sizes available - and many of them small. Even so - the qwerty keyboard on my Touch is made for fingertyping and manages to work quite well (although the screen is just 4.3 cm wide). The difference between that and fitaly is that it is approx twice as high, which makes it much easier to hit the right keys.

The number of keys on one row is also 10 (and not 11 as with fitaly, well actually 12 for the bottom most rows), and I suppose that that also makes a difference. Perhaps the blue rightmost column could be hidden?

Having a "landscape fitaly" also sounds like a great idea - and no problem if it takes up half the screen.

all the best / Björn
