Just open sourced an Android input method I worked for a few weeks...

I decided to stop working on it because I want to spend more time on another project. Feel free to do whatever you like with it. Contact me or reply below if you have any questions.

This is what the Japanese input-method is like on the iPhone. For each consonant there is a press, up, down, left or right swipe to produce a kana. It's a pretty interesting method, and you learn how to type faster with it pretty fast. Worth checking out!

Ignore the YouTube comments. That's not a place where people can appreciate things... and not a place where the word "self-respect" has any meaning.

That looks like a very interesting input method -- thanks for publishing it! One question though: how do I get that onto my Android -- do I need to include it into the OS, recompile everything and flash the device, or can i install it in an existing Android?

This reminds me of an input method I've seen on occasion for GP2x apps.

Reminds me of iPhone's Japanese "Ten Key" Keyboard.<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVy1p0v0Pow" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVy1p0v0Pow</a>

This still requires tapping, unlike Swype and the other alternative keyboards which allow for continuous motion within a word.

i think this input method is pretty nice... lacks polish though. A todo of missing featyres would be appreciated.. i can see a few things right off the bat: no caps lock and need to change the char display when caps is on. I hope i can make time to contribute.. this is a novel method that deserves further development.

That's a very awesome application. I have huge fingers and an Android phone, so I will have to try it out.
