Hi guys.

I'm trying to work out new finger friendly keypad.
One finger to be more accurate. So, i recommend to test it on portrait mode. (I've got an better idea for landscape mode anyway)

Inspired of how our finger actually works and angle of his natural movement the layout has been determined itself.
You can easily swipe each keypad row following natural angle as well. My goal was to achieve bigger keys on relatively smaller area.
And remove function keys. Keep in mind this is just some quick prototype of the idea. I had to find some solution for Flaemo and build in a keypad since FlashLauncher crashing using HW . Also for other devices without HW keyboard. However would be nice if somebody could pick up this idea and create native keypad like that. The solution is Open Source

if you want to play on your N900

go directly to swf file:

Let me know your thoughts. Do you like it or not, where you see possibilities to improve it. (In last moment I've added support for left Handed as well

For example for me... I get use to the normal keyboard layout and faced eye-finger coordination issue. Now is harder to read the letters if they are skewed. But after couple of minutes playing around getting better.

Edit:
Improvements
Back button goes to the 2nd row. This way I could increase size of the buttons and tweak the angle.
press and hold Shift - become caps lock
press and hold Back - become clear all
Expandable keys?

here is an screen grab of original mock-up
