The 7100 has that goofy QWERTY keyboard where there are 2 letters are mapped to a single key and then the system will predict what word you are entering based on the keys pressed and the possible words that can be derived from those letters. (Kind of like T9, but with less letters per key and more keys.)

My guess, is that the patent is based around this reduced qwerty predicted combination. It's not something that Microsoft has done on either the Pocket PC or Smartphone.

<Disclaimer> I have not read up on the Eatoni patent or this lawsuit. This is only a guess </Disclaimer>
