Hands-On: 8pen Alternative Input Method Released To Market, Promises To Bemuse, Frustrate And ... Reward? [Video]
A couple of days ago, French company 3qubits unveiled their unique take on what they imagined touchscreen keyboards of the future would look like. Starting with the notion that a full QWERTY layout could never fit properly on a handheld touchscreen device, they set about creating something entirely different.
