When we use the existing Thumpad or Keypad on the Nokia 770 Touchpad screen with OS 2006, we have predictive text.

From

The word displayed on the screen is not valid until the whole text is typed.

I assume that the suggestion of using it on the IT would be to have fewer keys, allowing for a square of thumb-sized buttons.

Having a more square keyboard might allow a better screen layout, our current choices are either a full-width but very short view of the app, or only a view of the text being edited.

Having a keyboard at one side of the screen would result in a more usable proportioned area for the application (although I suspect that neither the apps nor the OS would support a popup keyboard at one side).

I still find the MessagEase keyboard to be worthwhile, although hard to learn at first (despite the pic on the site, it doesn't appear to run on the 800).

You know what? I'm running a brand new n810, but I'd love to see an implementation of Fitaly for the Nokia tablets.
