Minuum: Revolutionary, intuitive, cross-platform typing software.



With alternative input controller concepts like the previously mentioned Leap and the wearable gesture-based MYO, there seem to be plenty of innovative options for us to navigate our screens of choice.  But when it comes to typing, what is the best option?  I personally have trouble with the default keyboards on my mobile devices, and always jump at the chance to try out third-party software that claim to ease this experience.  The new concept Minuum looks intriguing -- it aims to simplify typing and be adapted to virtually any medium (from smart phones to consoles to even a wristwatch).  The video demo seemed slick, and I look forward to checking it out on my phone soon.

Just arrived: the Leap developer unit!


The Leap developer unit just arrived in the mail, and I'm excited to start testing it out.  About the size of a pack of Juicy Fruit gum, the unit looks like it was designed by Apple with sleek aluminum body, a rubberized bottom, and a glass top.  Will let you know more once I've got it installed and working.
