JK covers SHARK, an on-screen text entry system from IBM's alphaworks very well. I just tried SHARK but was unable to achieve text entry speeds comparable to what I get with the TIP . SHARK like Alpha Tap forces you to learn a new keyboard layout. Unlike Alpha Tap I was able to actually write a couple of sentences. I like the intuitive scratch out gesture, the responsive user interface. Nevertheless, I still insist that nothing that i have seen yet can beat the TIP. I use the TIP extensively and I am willing to challenge anybody with an alternative to a Text Entry duel, anytime anywhere.
All in all an objective and informative blog post from JK. I will vote for jkOntheRun for TechWeb's Top ten Tech blogs. Keep it up JK, great blog post.
Unrelated: IBM's alphaworks is a life save for anyone that writes java code. I have used their java beans at work and love their licenses too. Thanks IBM for saving java from Sun and thanks for supporting Linux.
