If you know nuts about PDA, you must have been thinking that the only way to input on a PDA is through a stylus. Again, if you know nuts about PDA, a stylus is a pointed instrument that is used to write on the screen of the PDA.

 

Well, there are actually other alternatives. By default, you can tap on the onscreen keyboard, but it is way too small and tapping each button one at a time is surely time consuming.

 

Then, HTC has come out with the cool T9 Phone pad, it basically shows a virtual 9 buttons keypad on the screen so you can SMS or text using one hand. But, the PDA screen is so huge, putting in a T9 Phone pad is like a waste. Furthermore, you don't get the tactile feeling that you get on a physical keypad.

 

Well, Cootek has come out with a revolutionary method of PDA input. It's called the TouchPAL. I supposed it's called TouchPAL because it's developed for HTC Touch, but rest assured, it should work on all other Windows Mobile 5/6 PDA's.

 

I'll let the video do the rest of the talking

 

 

Now, I am considering not to buy HTC TyTN II , but instead get HTC P3600i and install this cool software. Best of all, it's free from today till the end of the year. Eventhough it's a shareware, it's worth buying. Hopefully OEM manufacturers will include this in their PDAs. With more buttons, the predictive text input is going to be much more accurate compared to T9 predictive text input. I have to say, I just love the way it toggles between upper and lower case.

 

If you have a PDA, what are you waiting for?
