beta tester

So apparently I am the first person in history to send a text message on Android using the awesome (albeit buggy) ShapeWriter application.

It’s an interesting idea based on IBM Research and they developed it for the iPhone (naturally) and are porting it over to the Android Market for Android powered phones (like my g1).

The thing is instead of tapping each key individually you slide your finger around the virtual keyboard to create words.  The app uses an algorithym that was used to help map molecule structures.

Anyways I like it, and I love being apart of the beta.  Uninstalling, installing, playing, taking notes, emailing said notes, downloading new program, installing, repeat.
