"The FCC today approved the Motorola A668, a new tri-band GSM phone with a unique text-input technology called Finger Writing Recognition (FWR). The otherwise standard-looking keypad doubles as a touch surface, allowing users to trace English and Chinese characters with their finger to enter text."
Mike had posted an article talking about the Synaptics MobileTouch technology for mobile devices. Now Phone Scoop is reporting that Motorola will be launching a phone that will enable the user to input text by tracing the text on the keypad-touchpad with their finger. You can see a demo of this technology here. Would you like to have a similar keypad-touchpad on your next Smartphone?
