The QWERTY character keys are grouped into 6 large input blocks so you need not aim precisely on the individual characters you wish to type. For example, to type the word "palm", you can type anywhere on the block "yuiop", anywhere on the block "asdfg", anywhere on the block "hjkl" and anywhere on the block "bnm" to get the word choice "palm". If there are more than one word choice for a keystroke combination, TenGO will intelligently present the most probable words first. Simply select the word you want!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/tengothumb_screenshot.gif" /><br /><br />TenGo is one of the best input methods I've seen, and this new version is designed for direct input via thumbs. Worth a look if you're looking to ignore that stylus as much as possible. [Affiliate]

I've always liked the original stylus version of this.

I tried the trial version a few weeks ago and felt too much screen area was used...leaving little left to view what's being typed.

OT - Jerry, glad to see you around here.

No fair, my OS isn't supported :(

It's kind of neat and can be pretty quick and easy to use to type documents really fast. It assumes that you intend to use valid words like "the fox jumped over the fence". It doesn't really work fast for programming, though...really slow.
