I find resco is much easier to type on. The keys are a bit larger and better spaced and you can set it to use gestures instead of corrections which makes typing much faster. What this means is that you can no longer slide your finger around to the correct key if you hit the wrong letter. But now you can slide your thumbs up on a leter to get a capital, right to get a space, left for a backspace, and down for enter. If you think about it it is much faster to type away then if you do hit a wrong key just backspace. If you take your time and make sure you slide your finger around every time to see if you press the correct letter it takes forever to type. It takes over a second per letter... how is thi fast? So with resco i just type away and actually make fewer mistakes because the keys are bigger. and since i am not waiting to see if i hit the right key i type muuuuch faster. Then if i make a mistake i simply flick my thumb left and type again. Resco stil shows the zoomed key preview so i know instantly after i press a key if i have hit the wrong letter or not.
It basically comes down to with resco my finger is only on a key for miliseconds while with zoomboard my finger is on the screen for sometimes over a second... especially if the smart preview thing kicks in and i have to hold for a second before th preview even shows. This is a horrible feature.
The ability to use gestures instead of corrections is the big difference. zoomboard is to focused on zooming...
