The 8 pen thing is really neat. I bought it a few hours ago. I find that I am able to type on it very quickly, that is when I plan ahead my steps. Once you learn the arrangement I can see typing extremely fast with it. I really don't like how the letters are laid out though. They appear to be too random. I know in the video it was stated they were arranged based on how commonly used they were, but I find it too confusing. With a little tweaking, I think this could be really useful. It would be nice if the input are was larger and semi transparent.
