Dang. 138 comments so far and unless I missed it not a single Chordite reference.

I've noticed that everyone in the world has strong opinions on chording keyboards. It's obvious that chording is slow and difficult to learn. It's also obvious that chording is easy to learn and fast. It will never catch on and it's completely inevitable. Every chording scheme is superior to every other one. Everything is obvious. No actual data are required.

... Teensy Chordite.

Jeez. They're actually having a contest to try and find something useful to do with this thing.

It's really true: once institutions gets big enough all they can manage are incremental improvements. Game changing breakthroughs, should they accidently arise internally, are actively put down by beneficiaries of the status quo.

Why not work toward solving a known problem like, say, the miserable state of mobile input technology. The main reason you can't do as much on a smart phone as you can on a desktop computer is your lousy phone keyboard.
