All fingers & thumbs?
Introducing the Crocodile Keyboard, a new, patent pending qwerty
keyboard designed for use on small handheld touch-screen
devices such as phones and PDA's.

Changing the keys from squares to triangles gives you a very clear indicator of where the centre of the key is, the blank area around the key acts like a targeting system. This effect is emphasised when the background colour and the key colour are chosen to stand out from each other. The shared triangular blank areas also help to stop double hitting of keys by giving a nice even spacing.

Android development

We have been working with Brighton University to develop a replacement Crocodile Keyboard application for any Android powered touch screen phone.

As the project progresses, we will be issuing free updates that add to the keyboards functionality, the next minor one will be Jan 2010.

In May 2010 we will be issuing a completely new keyboard incorporating many user customisable details such as key colour and background colour, this again will be a free update for anyone with the original development keyboard on their phone.

This keyboard will be designed based on user feedback and development work at Brighton University.

The Crocodile Keyboard application can be downloaded via any Android powered mobile phone via the Android market shortcut icon and is free for the first 24hrs.

So if you want to help the project, download the app and try it, then fill in the feedback form and tell us if you think it helps.
