First Fastap Phone Unveiled - Mar 22
2004
It was announced at the CTIA Wireless 2004
conference, that
Digit Wireless, consumer electronics giant
LG Electronics and Canadian wireless carrier
TELUS Mobility have signed an agreement to
produce the world's first Fastap-enabled mobile
phone, reports
InfoSync World.
"Digit Wireless's Fastap keypad allows mobile
phone users to quickly and intuitively type text
messages and other data using letter, number and
punctuation keys arranged neatly around the
standard keypad on a mobile phone".
But here is another reason why the launch of
this phone is such a good thing.
Digit Wireless has been endorsed publicly by
the UK Royal National Institute for Deaf People
(RNID), for it's fastap keyboard, as it's
universal design greatly facilitates the
entering of data.
Because Fastap keypads have a one-to-one
correspondence of each key, they are far easier
to use by people who are blind. Because Fastap
keypads are faster and have fewer errors they
provide significant benefit to people who are
deaf and speech-impaired".

Motorola's iTAP 6.0 Predicts Entire
Sentences - Dec 17 2003
Motorola's proprietary text input system has
reached version 6.0, capable of not only
predicting words but whole sentences, reports
InfoSync World.
"Just like the well-known T9 text input
system, the iTAP system requires only one key
touch to select a letter, and also proposes the
next word you intend to add to your message or
note. By using past text input and the context
of where this text was entered, however, the
iTAP system now also suggests entire sentences."
