Re: Text input

What is everyone talking about a T9??? (does some quick research) oooooooo
wow thats sorta nifty! hmm I wonder what you would call that kind of
technology.. word recognition?, lol idk.. very cool though. Now that I
actually know what a T9 is, I'm considering it to me a whole lot more
practical means of text imput. If you're used to inputting thingys into cell
phones I'd imagine that it would be extremely helpful and creative to hook
up one of those thingys to a wearable. Good luck to anyone who can pull
something like that off!
