A better text input for touch-screen devices

I would be very excited to see something like this supported on my iPhone:

In fact, I’ve thought multiple times how instead of an “unlock code” on my iPhone (to prevent people spying on my mail, etc. if I were to lose it) I could just have some type of swipe or gesture that would unlock it for me. Swiping: Wave of the ~~finger~~ future. Pun intended.

Sweet! I can’t wait for this to be available for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Hmm, I wonder what they will name the gestures.

About

I have three passions: Dancing, climbing, and technology.

I am a Lindy Hopper, a style of dance that began in the early 1920’s. I dance with Charm City Swing, Baltimore’s premier swing dancing venue. You will find me EVERY Monday night on the dance floor.

I live to climb things. It took me 25 years to figure this out but I can’t imagine life without it. I primarily enjoy bouldering — For me, the lack of ropes and freedom take bouldering to purest level of climbing.

I founded and work at Fusion Bay, a web application development firm with Adam Douglass. We program cool things for clients and ourselves, like the popular Wordabble iPhone application and GiftListIt.
