Re: fat fingers, you got me there. But having fat fingers isn't exactly a bonus using a regular phone's keypad or touchscreen, either.

There are similar products already out there. Check out this company <a href="http://www.shapewriter.com/video.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shapewriter.com/video.html</a> they have an app for the iPhone which you can download from iTunes store already. It came from a IBM patent and has been around for atleast 3-4 years. I am not sure whats revolutionary about this product. There are similar products already out there.

More so, I would be interested to see how people with “fat fingers” (ahem … most of the USA) would go using this service and whether it would be able to dechiper what the person is “swiping” using fingers without a stylus ….
