Doing the TenGO
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 02:03 PM
"Home grown company Xrgomics has developed TenGO, a text input software for the Pocket PC. The software is also currently undergoing testing for the PalmOS (operating system) as well. The TenGO technology essentially reduces the conventional Qwerty keyboard to only 10 keys for text entry yet retains the same functionality. The development of the product arose out of a need for text entry solutions that were easy to use and practical, said Edwin Ng (left), the chief marketing officer of Xrgomics.
Developed by a team of five, Xrgomics has applied for a US patent for the technology. The key challenge that the team faced was to come up with a solution that is simple and yet performs like a full keyboard, and which does not need much relearning. Also, another criteria was that the solution had to be device agnostic so as to be reusable in applications on different devices and platforms."
