Google aquires BlindType

Remember the miraculous BlindType?

Well, I've always said that it would be very difficult for it ever make an appearance on the iPhone... As for the Android platform, that would be a much more likely approach. And it is !

Google has acquired BlindType, which means Android users will soon have a very special soft keyboard to use!

BlindType for iPhone

After being amazed with Swype on the Galaxy S, I have to admit this BlindType makes me feel puzzled by its ability to write... even without a keyboard!

I know it sound weird... You need to watch the following video to truly appreciate it.

I hope it get to the App Store fast, though it's real usefulness will always be severely limited because you'll only be able to use it in its own app and not on a system-wide basis.
(But that's why I suspect it won't take long for us to see it coming to the Android platform. ;)
