<an average Chinese can input 200-300 words a minute. Chinese is the most efficient language, even if you disagree>

Not true Yiwu. Check out court recording speeds. The good chinese input methods can beat QWERTY easily enough and the latest one hand input method looks very cool indeed. Also, I checked Chinese input speeds and 180 words per minute is about the maximum with 120 a normal sort of maximum.

What that means is that it's about time somebody came up with an easier way to put english into cyberspace. Preferably one-handed or nerve transducers on nerves to larynx, lips and tongue so words can be mouthed in [without bothering to actually make noise]. Or, maybe input could come direct from brain scan and thinking the words in.

There's a long way to go yet.
