Now Nokia have opened up the API to the Hildon input methods and documented the .vkb file format used for virtual keyboards (see this HOWTO) I got to wondering: is anyone working on a better keyboard layout or three for entering text with a pen? I have in mind either FITALY (core input area here) or ATOMIK.

Both these keyboard layouts are optimized for text input via hunt and peck with a pen (rather than using ten fingers), and if there's one thing the tablets need it's better text entry (for when you don't want to weigh yourself down with the bluetooth keyboard and the charger and the rest of the travelling circus).

Is anyone doing this?
