"That is just too cool - lets hope Apple don't try to shut them down by making false claims they invented it first."  :grin:

Not quite the same and tactus have been working on their project longer. A patent Apple have and will never use, "just because" they can.

I'd love an iphone with this! In my android/Windows Mobile days, I always went for whatever had a physical qwerty keyboard. It's just much nicer and faster.

good for accessibility

not so good for me, not a fan really

wonder if the stretchy button material will 'sag' with use... the amount of times the average user would use that button keyboard would be hundreds of times a day
