Dec 20th 2007 9:07PM Yeah I think you're right when talking about the size of the device. Although I also think that some people will get extreme good at any unwieldy input method given enough practice. Remember the old pocket bell (pager)? That was like inputting text using ASCII codes :D Faster on average than the current Kana input method.

Dec 20th 2007 6:24PM Japanese text input using a QWERTY keyboard is much faster than using the ten-key on phones for the same reason English text input is faster.
Also, Japanese texting is inherently faster because a shorter amount of text generally conveys the same meaning in English (you can drop plenty of particles and shorten without it sounding dodgy too).
Japanese input is already there on the iPod touch so bust yo ass down to Shib and check it out. I think it works quite well (apart from not being used to the software keyboard).
