Cache, since it's down: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.8p... This is genius as an idea, but I don't know if it could ever catch any sort of momentum in the market. It seems like it would take a long time to become fast at it. A comparison to keyboards comes to mind - the keys on a keyboard really seem arbitrarily placed (though I am aware of the historical origin of QWERTY). Many people type slowly on keyboards, and it takes a lot of using one to get good at it. However the keys on a keyboard are labeled, so there is a lower threshold for newbies. Imagine what someone would look like typing on a blank keyboard. Their fingers would seem to be flying around at random. People would be afraid to try learning it. That's what using 8pen is like. And the problem is, there's no way to ever label all the loops and have them be visible. It also seems like it would be easy to miss the center circle sometimes when closing a loop. I wish I could try it but I don't own an Android device. Also, OP are you Gabe Newell or a different gaben? |

Maybe if swype and gesture typing didn't exist, and it was still 2010.
(Or do people think this because they are only familiar with the iOS keyboard?)
