  • I can type 60wpm on my iPhone 3G's keyboard with no errors. If you'd like, I can show you a screeny over a PM.

  • How about posting a video of you typing on your iPhone? Here are the sentences that the Guinness Book of World Records' uses (or used to use) to judge texting speed, "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human." I believe the record is 41 seconds (or it used to be).

  • Hi, there.

    I think it's a cool gadget.  Wonder if it supports international characters...

    Thanks

  • On our website you can download the Spanish Remap, which is an AutoHotKey program that lets you generate foreign characters. It's located on the Support/Remaps page.

  • im 14 and i type 112 wpm on the qwerty keyboard :]..random fact

    What type of layout does the alpha grip use? i imagine it uses dvorak?

  • It uses what we call an Enhanced Qwerty letter layout which has about a 65% finger-letter correlation to the QWERTY keyboard. If you're a touch typist it allows you to seemlessly switch between typing on a Qwerty keyboard and an AlphaGrip (and back again) without a relearning lag time. Maximum typing speed on the current version of the AlphaGrip is probably 80 wpm.  I average around 60 wpm.

  • as soon as there is a wireless one i will spend $100 on an alpha grip for my computer so i can type standing, sitting, whatever.

  • Yes, it's just a rough prototype, but we are designing an AlphaGrip-enabled phone that will look like a slightly oversized smartphone (about 3.5" by 5") with a 5" screen (measured diagonally), 8 full- size multidirectional keys incorporated into the back surface, with a trackball and several 4-way buttons on the front surface which are revealed when the screen slides up.

  • but its kind of lousy looking

  • neat.. I can get used to that.
