In my interview with James Young, we briefly talked about the new T9 upgrade to be released with new Windows Mobile devices.
Word completion has been a feature embedded in most Windows Mobile devices – and if not, it was an easy download as far as the early days of the Palm OS. What the upgraded predictive text does is map out the possible words you could spell with the letters in the vicinity of where you press. As you can see, this feature is basically geared towards consumers with huge fingers. Never again will you have to push buttons at pinpoint accuracy.
Pardon the photo as I took this with my MacBook’s built in iSight, which explains why the image is reversed.
